This project was funded based on impactrather than knowledge generation; thus, this paper will report on the impacts of the ProQualInstitute in terms of participants served and evaluated outcomes and project team observations.The key evaluation questions we answered were: 1. To what extent did the project design and implement a high-quality and culturally responsive training program? 2. What knowledge and skills did participants gain because of participation in the ProQual Institute? 3. How could the ProQual Institute be built upon to improve participant outcomes?Background & Conceptual FrameworkThe target audiences for the ProQual Institute were STEM

callfrom various technical reports on engineering education demands that U.S. higher education institutions produce this kind ofengineers. Accordingly, there is an urgent need for reforming and enhancing engineering education to address these needs. Thisreform effort is best served through a merging of engineering education with best practices in educational psychology. TheAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) is on board and fully supportive of the reform needs in engineering andcomputer science education. Accordingly, ABET now requires documentation of objectives and outcomes and associated directassessment of student learning in undergraduate programs. As such, we have designed a research-based system to meet

This individual field experience option allowsstudents to craft their own engineering field experience. Requirements for this individualexperience are meant to ensure students have an equivalent experience while attaining thelearning outcomes for the course. Students are required to work or shadow an engineer that isworking in a country outside of the United States for 40 hours. While the nature of theengineering work is up to the student and the host engineer, the student does need to practice oneof the steps in the design process and have interactions with community or project

engineering teamsusing evidence-based practices.A common practice for engineering education practitioners when dealing with teamwork involvesestablishing technical objectives, forming the group, and assessing team performance at different stagesof the semester. However, for some, it remains mysterious what teaching practices work best to fostercollaboration and how that relates to the team performance at the end of the project.To get evidence-based practices, we need to use a theoretical framework such as the Beliefs andBehaviors Model to explore this social process of building mutually shared cognition. After the Scope ofWork (SOW) of the design project is assigned to the teams and the task performance is established,students need to start

For tenure track faculty in particular, theymust recognize and perhaps wrestle with the notion that a student’s evaluation of their coursesand teaching performance will be an important consideration in their path to tenure at theacademy, as represented by the teaching-service-professional development triad.

Extant research has explored CSR on a broader organizational level, without necessarilyconsidering how social responsibility manifests on the team level. Thus, we contend that feelingsand understandings of responsibility experienced by students working on design
