There is considerable interest in the engineering education community for an instrument that can be used in ethics education. This collaborative project addresses the need for such an instrument. The project team plans is building upon their current research-based SEED (Survey of Engineering Ethical Development) instrument which is grounded in theory and has been completed by 3,914 respondents at 19 partner institutions across the nation. The project has four goals: 1). Create a practical instrument for assessing individual ethics initiatives (SEED-PA); 2). Use the SEED-PA to conduct four separate studies addressing important research questions and demonstrating the utility, reliability, and validity of the instrument; 3). Develop the SEED-PA User's Guide to assist in research design, administration, data analysis, and results interpretation; 4). Broadly disseminate the online SEED-PA and the SEED-PA User's Guide.\n\nThis project is advancing discovery about assessing individual ethics initiatives and has the potential to transform undergraduate education in engineering ethics. The instrument developed can be used by engineering programs to address ABET learning outcomes on engineering ethics. The project includes a multifaceted dissemination plan with focused and broad dissemination mechanisms. The collaborating institutions span a range of institutional types with diverse student bodies.

The (STEM)^2 Network will bridge the disciplines of biology, chemistry, and math, as well as the barriers that exist between the participating two- and four-year institutions. The multidisciplinary nature of the Network's approach will extend its impact beyond biology, while the inclusion of public two-year and private four-year schools will ensure that outcomes are applicable across institution types. The network will be unique among the organizations that exist to support STEM education reform because 1) the focus will be on identifying areas for interdisciplinary curricular and educational collaborations; and 2) the multilevel approach will target individual classroom behaviors, curricular collaboration across disciplines, and institutionalization of innovations. As such, it will empower faculty to be change agents for STEM reform, creating new directions in research and education. It is anticipated that student academic success and retention will increase which, in turn, will help meet the need for a larger and more diverse STEM workforce.\n\nThe (STEM)^2 Network will use a series of collaborative studio workshops to achieve the overarching goals of 1) promoting collaboration between regional public community colleges and four-year private institutions; 2) empowering faculty to create change beyond their classrooms; and 3) creating enduring pedagogical collaborations across STEM disciplines encountered by undergraduate biology majors. The theoretical foundations of the network include systems design for organizational change, an emergent outcomes model for diffusion of STEM innovations, and the principles underlying Communities of Transformation. Participants will align the guiding educational documents of the disciplines of biology, chemistry, and math to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration. They will directly enhance undergraduate biology education by developing institutional systems maps to strategically identify opportunities for sustainable change. The (STEM)^2 Network will contribute to knowledge generation by documenting the development of the network from an industrial/organizational psychology perspective and assessment of interdisciplinary communication and collaboration, institutional structures, and faculty attitudes to catalyze change in undergraduate biology education.

It is very common for students to begin study in these fields only to abruptly leave after a few courses, and this attrition disproportionately affects already underrepresented students such as women and students of color. One possible explanation is that undergraduate biology education largely relies on high-stakes quizzes and exams that students find demotivating, creating an intimidating “weed out” culture. This is dismaying but at the same time, these students must master a high degree of content to successfully transition from community colleges to four-year programs and then to post-baccalaureate science programs or careers. This Research Coordination Network will advance undergraduate biology education by creating a network of scholars not only from biology but also from the field of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) to identify and facilitate educator use of more effective, nontraditional approaches to assessment, grading, and feedback that nonetheless respect the constraints presented by a comprehensive biology education. The goal of this project is to improve assessment and feedback in undergraduate biology education such that we expand and diversify students studying in these fields while not sacrificing standards of excellence. <br/><br/>A diverse network representing institutions ranging from community colleges to primarily undergraduate liberal arts colleges to HBCUs to large research-focused universities will pursue the following aims: establish the research network; use quantitative and qualitative designs within these diverse range of institutions to identify sources of problematic assessments and feedback, use of novel approaches, and barriers to implementation of innovations; present at several leading biology and teaching conferences the insights on current barriers and challenges to undergraduate biology assessment and feedback; and use data gathered to formulate a full proposal that will implement and test effectiveness of novel approaches. The purpose of the current incubator is to clarify the current state in undergraduate biology education—the traditional methods still being used, new methods being attempted and their relative successes and failures, and the constraints and barriers particular to the study of biology that should be kept in mind in the development of any new tools. The results will form the basis for a larger study which will develop and test the effectiveness of new tools for assessment and feedback that encourage rather than discourage wide participation in the study of biology, thereby improving student learning and performance and producing a better prepared and more diverse STEM workforce.<br/><br/>This project is being funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure as part of efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/).<br/><br/>This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } }, { "type": "Grant", "id": "14065", "attributes": { "award_id": "2053033", "title": "EAR-PF: What is the role of metasomatic alteration in subduction zone episodic tremor and slip?", "funder": { "id": 3, "ror": "https://ror.org/021nxhr62", "name": "National Science Foundation", "approved": true }, "funder_divisions": [ "Unknown", "XC-Crosscutting Activities Pro" ], "program_reference_codes": [], "program_officials": [ { "id": 9801, "first_name": "Aisha", "last_name": "Morris", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] } ], "start_date": "2021-09-01", "end_date": null, "award_amount": 174000, "principal_investigator": { "id": 30584, "first_name": "William", "last_name": "Hoover", "orcid": null, "emails": "", "private_emails": "", "keywords": null, "approved": true, "websites": null, "desired_collaboration": null, "comments": null, "affiliations": [] }, "other_investigators": [], "awardee_organization": { "id": 2404, "ror": "", "name": "Hoover, William Floyd", "address": "", "city": "", "state": "MD", "zip": "", "country": "United States", "approved": true }, "abstract": "This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). <br/><br/>Dr. William Hoover has been awarded an NSF EAR postdoctoral fellowship to carry out research and educational plans at the University of Washington alongside mentor Dr. Cailey Condit. Dr. Hoover will investigate the role of water-rock reaction in producing the enigmatic seismic phenomena known as episodic tremor and slip (ETS) that can precede large, damaging earthquakes, particularly along subduction zone faults. This study will focus on rocks from Catalina Island (Southern California) exhumed from depths characteristic of ETS in modern subduction zones (e.g., Cascadia in Washington and Oregon). Integrated macro- and micro-scale structural and geochemical analysis will reveal how rock alteration by fluid flow yields deformation behavior characteristic of ETS. This work will provide important direct observations of rocks from ETS source regions and inform modern subduction zone monitoring and seismic research. During field work on Catalina Island, Dr. Hoover will teach a field course to students from Hispanic-serving institution Cal State Channel Islands and mentor capstone research projects. He will also develop and present educational activities as part of the University of Washington Rockin’ Out K-12 outreach program. Lastly, this research will be carried out on land of the Gabrielino-Tongva Tribe and he will return tangible benefits of the research through outreach events held for the tribe. <br/><br/>Rheological modeling of ETS suggests that it may be hosted within metasomatic talc and chlorite schists, and Dr. Hoover will test this hypothesis using the exhumed rock record. He will identify geologic equivalents of the structures and fluid-rich conditions inferred from geophysical studies of ETS source regions through field mapping of the Catalina Schist (CA). He will connect outcrop-scale deformation partitioning to metasomatic changes with bulk major and trace element and Sr and Li isotope geochemistry. Using spatially-resolved micro-scale chemical and structural analysis with electron microbeam techniques, he will determine deformation mechanisms and connect them to compositional changes across all scales. These observations will be placed in the temporal context of the seismic cycle through bulk Li and intra-crystalline diffusion chronometry. Using this multi-scale approach Dr. Hoover will document how metasomatism controls deformation partitioning and mechanisms at the conditions of ETS in modern subduction zones. These results will inform future geophysical, theoretical and experimental studies of subduction zone seismicity.<br/><br/>This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.", "keywords": [], "approved": true } } ], "meta": { "pagination": { "page": 1419, "pages": 1419, "count": 14184 } } }
