As a result of this feedback, DEIinstruction was tied to ABET SO 5 as part of the program’s continuous improvement plan. Tyingthis instruction to student outcome assessment does two important things: 1) it makes DEI inengineering a permanent feature in the program so that all students see the content and 2) it willbe assessed and improved upon each year as a part of ongoing improvements to the institution’sengineering program.In 2020, the DEI instructor was again the course instructor, and the module extended over aperiod of three days.

Professional development focuses on student goal-setting, ruralsustainability technical topics, and communication skills, including both written and oral skillsfor various types of audiences. This includes the development of individual development plans(IDPs), which assist each student in setting short-, intermediate- and long-term professionalgoals, defining the skills necessary to meet the goals, identifying opportunities for professionaldevelopment as well as any gaps in skills [4

In this work, weexamine the differing needs of returners, those who have been out of school for at least five yearsbetween their undergraduate and graduate degrees, and direct pathway students, those who havehad less than a five-year gap between completing their undergraduate degree and beginning theirgraduate work, in engineering master’s programs. A large-scale national survey was conducted,which included questions on many topics including advising. While there were many areas inwhich the two populations were the same, several key differences emerged, with returnersplacing a higher value on course planning topics than direct pathway students did, and less valueon advising focused on plans beyond the completion of the

-regulation in action (SRA) or strategicaction (SA), is the basis of self-regulated learning (SRL). SRC is comprised of iterative andrecursive cycles of interpreting requirements, planning (e.g., resources, time, strategies),implementing cognitive processes, monitoring progress, evaluating progress against internal andexternal standards, and continually refining approaches to better achieve goals (see Figure 1)[16]. This iterative process continues until a problem is solved or the student abandons the goal.As students manage their activities in tasks, they engage in iterative cycles of strategic activity,including actively interpreting requirements (i.e., interpreting task), developing a plan of action(i.e., planning), acting on a developed plan, and
