2020 [13 and 14]. The key message gleaned is that engineering education has toadapt to the challenges of the future. For engineering education to adapt for the challenges of the future, curricular changes are needed –but those must be part of a larger systemic change in the organizational culture of engineeringeducation. Faculty are the critical component in achieving the necessary systemic transformation.Facilitating the development of desired skills, dispositions, and reflective habits of mind within ourstudent populations requires a critical mass of faculty able and eager to embody and enact thesedesired characteristics. How can we assist faculty to be vital stakeholders in the cultural shift weseek within engineering education, a shift
, and video recording of the functions using three of the RFtransceiver modules with PIC trainers. Engineering technology focuses on both “hands-on and mind-on” design work and thepractice is to integrate existing technology products into real world applications. Teaching radiofrequency concepts can be challenging because of complex theory and the broad array ofapplication practices as well as related governing regulations. However, if it is implemented in areal-world project approach to teaching and learning using existing RF modules can lead todeveloping clear understandings and meaningful experiences in successfully applying thetechnologies that can make these concepts interesting and challenging to learn.

The whole class was a wonderful example of what the British call “surface learning.” But very little “deep learning”—which comes with time, depth, practice, and reinforcement— seems to have occurred.1 This

faculty. To address an identified gap in mentor training, the EFRI-REM Mentoring Catalyst initiativewas established to 1) provide mentor training and 2) to build an EFRI-REM mentoring communitycomposed of current and future science and engineering mentors. This initiative was developed withNSF’s perceived need in mind for specific training for EFRI mentors and mentees. The overarchingmission of the EFRI-REM Mentoring Catalyst is to catalyze a core programmatic change thatpositively impacts the mentors and the student/teacher mentees in view of the importance of facultymentoring. Sustained mentoring by graduate students and postdoctoral associates also guides thedevelopment of the initiative. The goal of this manuscript is to review
