In these studies, campus culture considered (1) classroom experiences, (2)faculty-staff relationship, (3) institutional support services, (4) peer interactions, (5) studenteffort to learn, (6) goal development and management, and (7) institutional commitment. As aresult, we integrated these components of campus culture into our understanding of institutionalclimate to ground our data collection approach and provide a helpful framework for uncoveringways in which institutional climate can impact how a Black HBCU undergraduate engineering orcomputing student navigates their post-graduate planning and decision-making.Identity and SuccessUnderstanding how an institution’s culture and climate support students’ personal identities is

Secondly, the researchers wanted to uncover bestpractices or strategies that might improve cultural awareness in workforce development in termsof navigating daily life within an educational institution. This study delved into the experiencesfaculty members reported having in their workplace. The study involved 224 faculty membersacross various departments and career statuses working at a public coeducational researchinstitution in the United States of America.

In addition to choosing engineering as a major in the firstplace, quality interactions with engineering faculty can have a significant impact on a student’sdecision to pursue graduate education, since such interaction provides the student with effectiverole models and mentors.

Faculty seem to define EM assomeone with a desire to grow (drive) as well as someone who understands the risks of everysituation [13]. In Laalo and Heinonen, students discussed how an EM involves someone who issupportive, courageous, social focused, and caring [28].

However, a close reading of the report also reveals twovoices. On the one hand, there was the voice of educators and administrators eager to celebratethe fact that engineering can serve as rigorous preparation for a variety of future occupations. Onthe other hand, there was a smaller number of educators, including NAE staff members who,through their engagement with the literature on women and minorities in engineering educationsought to make the point that many students enter engineering with diverse backgrounds andpreparation in

By considering the processes and mechanisms by whichgraduate students develop, faculty members can reform or revise their leadership practices(formally and informally) to better meet the needs of graduate students at various stages in theiracademic careers. Although these theories may seem disparate, they intersect and overlap in anacademic research group context. As we lead the attendees of this interactive panel workshopthrough the following activities, we ask them to reflect on how these theories impact how theymake decisions for their research group and how theory-guided decisions might help themimprove or plan for effective and productive
