The data from the second year will be used to conduct a confirmatory study, whichwill verify the profiles and/or potentially identify new ones. We also aim to explore other effortsof group members that are not about their own teaching improvement. For example, somegroups’ work in our project included directions in educational research or department-levelteaching improvement, which may result in additional profiles. We are also interested in howdifferent group composition functions might impact the types and outcomes of participation thatoccur (e.g., including graduate students, the

This could be due to gender, as one study found female students tended to ratethemselves lower than their male counterparts (Lind, 2002), however, this is not conclusive sinceGopinath (1999) found gender was not a factor in self-assessment. It could also be due to the tendency ofsuccessful students to rate themselves lower than their peers and unsuccessful students to rate themselveshigher (Mishra, Ostrovska, & Hacaloglu 2015; Falchikov & Boud, 1989; and Gopinath, 1999).

As one faculty member stated, he was "blown away by the quality of thewriting of his students compared to previous years". We discovered that one of the mainreasons the writing of our undergraduates had been so poor was because they didn’t knowhow to utilize library resources to write a research paper. An understanding of the intricaciesof the literature research process is an integral component of any academic pursuit.

Thepurpose is to not only raise awareness of the likely origins of these issues, but to recommendways that staff, faculty, departments, and universities can create a more equitable careertrajectory for women faculty in engineering and science. Immediate and long term shifts inindividual and institutional bias, policy, leadership, and training have the potential to make asignificant difference in engineering innovation for social and environmental change.Introduction“Innovation is not gender-blind, but rather inherently gender-biased, because of an implicit,socially constructed assumption that women are less innovative than men

It is hypothesized that there is disconnect betweenthe principles outlined in Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the actual classroomenvironment, thus creating a barrier to intrinsic motivation needed for student learning. Theproposed work is an empirical investigation to explore this disconnect in the context ofundergraduate engineering education. The primary tasks will be to (i) assess the Facultyknowledge of SDT; (ii) develop a measurement framework to assess the classroom environmentas it relates to SDT; and (iii) determine the association among Faculty knowledge of SDT
States.Communication in engineering continues to be an important element of engineering education,especially in terms of future employability. Universities are continually measured, ranked, andevaluated for performance-based funding based on their students’ employment numbersfollowing graduation. However, a divide exists between the level of communication competencyemployers expect from recent graduates versus their actual competency. Despite over twodecades of Communication (and English) faculty efforts, extensive research, and grantinvestment by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in engineering communication educationsince EC2000, the calls for universities to teach communication competence to engineeringundergraduates has only grown louder.At its core

Because original items were not specificallydeveloped for the target population, we interviewed several key informants to provide context onengineering graduate students’ experiences as they related to their engineering and researchidentities. The key informants were one PhD engineering faculty member, one PhD postdoctoralfellow, one PhD engineer in industry, and four PhD and two master’s students. All intervieweeswere either employed by or alumni of the same large public research university. Some of theinterview questions were “do you consider yourself an engineer?” “do you consider yourself aresearcher?” and “describe a moment when you felt you were doing well in engineering? Whatcontributed to this success?”The initial 81 items were
