also adapted Ashford and Blacks [7] scales measuring proactive behaviors across six dimensions: (a) feedback seeking, (b) positive framing, (c) general socializing, (d) relationship building, (e) networking, and (f) information seeking [7]. Though these scales were developed to understand workplace socialization, we adapted them to reflect the context of engineering education. Then, to assess normative contexts, we developed a new five-question scale to explore students’ involvement in extra- and co-curricular activities. First, we ask students to list engineering-related organizations in which they participated. Second, and germane to the concept of socialization, we ask how students

For the first round, the focus groups wereaimed at identifying high-level issues with the survey (i.e., the applicability of the questions andstudents’ initial reactions to the instrument). Questions aimed at the participants in the focusgroup ranged from reflecting about the different experiences of student support, whether thoseexperiences were captured in the instrument and identifying any student support experiences thatwere not represented among available answers. Additionally, participants were asked to lookcarefully at how the questions are constructed and the wording used in the instrument.

shows that an engineering degree prepares students for a range of careers. However,engineering undergraduate training has often focused on equipping students with the knowledge,abilities, and attitudes that will make them successful as engineers in industry rather than the broadpossibilities that an engineering degree offers. Reflecting this focus, a common topic inengineering education literature discusses ways to bridge the gap between industry andundergraduate training [1]. However, the qualities students develop—such as critical thinking,problem solving, and teamwork—are also valued by employers in general.

Yet, as the Boeing report suggests, “major opportunities for reform existbut have yet to be exploited” [1]. Among these curricular reforms yet to be exploited is the move“from the stage of dumping ‘expert-recommended’ communication strategies to the stage oftailoring communication strategies to achieve clarity of understanding with different audiences”[1]. This call for curricular reform is also reflected in the most recent update to the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology, Inc.

These models are important additions tothe ethics curriculum as they allow for movement beyond deontological approaches andincorporate ideas drawn from consequentialist ethical approaches (consideration of theconsequences of various actions) and virtue ethics (focus on reflecting whether one’s actions areconsistent with the type of virtuous person one might wish to be).

These factors motivated the first author to video tape his Statics course so that students couldgo over difficult concepts multiple times by pausing and rewinding the videos. Another motivator wasthat the hybrid-style course allowed more classroom time dedicated to examples and review.

anticipate that by asking educators about their teaching decisions, wemay trigger reflection, which in and of itself may lead to improvements in teaching practice.By exploring the processes through which engineering educators make teaching decisions andthe factors they consider, we can use decision making as a lens to understand their teachingpractices and gain a better understanding of how to help engineering educators make moreeffective decisions about their teaching. We believe that this approach is particularly appropriatebecause it is a framework used extensively in the field of engineering (i.e., design decision-making) and thus may be a more familiar framework to discuss their teaching practices.We chose to emphasize teaching decision-making
