bridging the gap between theory and practice.Dr. Humberto Reinoso, Mercer University The majority of my professional careers has been in clinical practice. My passion for nursing educa- tion has evolved as healthcare demands on the practitioner, patient, and community have become more complex. As a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Emergency Nurse Practitioner I care for in- dividuals throughout the lifespan. My PhD and current research interest focused on the silent epidemic of viral hepatitis.

Serving as an instructor and researcher, exposed her to a number of wellestablished and emerging educational practices that related to fostering students’ academic achievements, interest, and professional development. It was during this time that she decided to turn her sights completely to diver- sity and inclusion issues within STEM education and embark on a career that would allow her to make a meaningful contribution on diversifying the scientific

Despite this, students maynot view written communication skills as an important skill for engineers. Technical writinginstruction and practice is often implemented in undergraduate laboratory courses where studentswrite standard lab reports (abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion) thatmost closely resemble a scientific journal article.

While all the 2-year technology programs accredited byATMAE are not coded as Engineering Technologies and Engineering-Related Fields programs, acompelling argument can still be made by other 2-year technology programs to pursue ATMAEaccreditation as they seek to up the ante in their pursuit of excellence.IntroductionAccording to Eaton1 , accreditation is a process of external review that exists to assure quality andto foster a culture of continuous and ongoing improvement. In the United States, it is consideredto be a non-governmental enterprise carried out by private, non-profit organizations of whichthere are four basic types: regional, national faith-related, national career-related, andprogrammatic.

Although there is value in that perspective, this study was framed in expectancy valuetheory26, a theory used in the college major and career choice literature27,28 . Expectancy valuetheory, a motivational theory, attempts to explain individuals’ choice of behavior based on theirexpectation of success and the value they place on the task or outcome of the task. The behaviorcan be related to the decision to work on a task, whether or not to persist at a task, or the amountof effort to invest in a task28. Atkinson, who was

Yet theemphasis on technical competencies sends a powerful message to engineering educators,highlighting the primacy of technical knowledge in a crowded curriculum”.6 The need for thisnew literacy to highlight how one might gauge a sense of social responsibility has beenformalized through two metrics.
