Paper ID #18238Making the Invisible Visible: Exploring Cultural Differences of Faculty Work-ing on a Multicultural TeamMs. Sevinj Iskandarova, James Madison University Sevinj Iskandarova is a Ph.D. student at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA, USA. She re- ceived her MS.Ed. in Adult Education/Human Resource Development from James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA, USA in May 2016. Her main research interests include Human-Computer Interface, Information Technology, International Education, Leadership, Learner-centered Education and Multicul- tural Education. In 2016, she was awarded a prize for Outstanding Thesis
sociocultural dimensions of engineering education.Andrew Elby, University of Maryland, College Park Andrew Elby’s work focuses on student and teacher epistemologies and how they couple to other cognitive machinery and help to drive behavior in learning environments. His academic training was in Physics and Philosophy before he turned to science (particularly physics) education research. More recently, he has started exploring engineering students’ entangled identities and epistemologies.Dr. Ayush Gupta, University of Maryland, College Park Ayush Gupta is Assistant Research Professor in Physics and Keystone Instructor in the A. J. Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland. Broadly speaking he is interested in
