In response to an interview prompt asking if and howfaculty members promoted respect for student differences, the faculty member explained thatstudent differences transcended nationality or ethnicity. They spoke specifically about the genderdifferences, differences in socioeconomic statuses (SES), and personality types in their classroomsand how those differences translate when enforcing school policies. One such policy was thatstudents had to leave their cameras on during online classes and exams. The faculty member wenton to explain that this policy had to be relaxed because some lower SES students had problemsjoining class because of the bandwidth demands. Another faculty

Grading of final examination paper: In some universities, course final examinationpapers carry a personal identification code instead of a student name. This is to removeany conscious or unconscious favor or disfavor to a particular student. The papers will begraded independently by the course faculty as well as another faculty from the samedepartment/subject area. On any paper, if the difference of marks from the two faculties ishigher than 30%, then the specific paper will be examined by a third faculty from the samedepartment/subject area. An external examiner then visits the university and samplechecks the examination papers. All the marks/grades

),collaborations can be a significant experience in graduate students’ identity development— Students begin to craft their professional identity by “trying on” possible images of themselves to see how well they fit. One way these images are established is through the individual’s professional development network, and the relationships students have members of their profession and learning community (p. 3).8Graduate education is often characterized as an independent endeavor, requiring a certain levelof self-motivation. During this solitary endeavor, students grapple with a range of issues,including exploring, understanding, and defining personal beliefs and values. Thus, it may bepossible for graduate students to support one

CONCLUSIONA strong STEM workforce is contingent on developing policies, programs, and initiatives thatwork to provide equitable access and opportunities for all students, especially those fromunderrepresented and underserved communities. This commitment to diversifying the STEMworkforce will require deep commitment at all levels. Regardless of policy or reform efforts todrive significant change in the STEM fields, faculty members have a tremendous influence inshaping the engineering landscape. As such, the active recruitment and mentoring by facultyadvisors is critical in engaging underrepresented students in research

listed above. According to Arumand Roksa, recent government reports show a decline in full time instructional faculty from 78%in 1970 to 52% in 2005.26 This has a serious impact on graduate education, as the facultymembers who work with graduate students are usually tenured faculty. The decline in thenumbers of tenured faculty pushes more of the work load onto the remaining faculty, so that thefaculty members are assuming increasing workloads in working with graduate students. Thedecline of tenured and tenure track positions then leaves fewer job openings for traditionalgraduates of doctoral programs.There has also been an increasing focus on Professional Master’s and Doctoral Degrees—degrees which prepare graduates for careers in business
