You don’t have to build confidence before taking action. You build confidence by taking action.

Standing still breeds rumination and seeds self-doubt. Motion fuels progress and elevates efficacy.

Never let doubts about your ability undermine your faith in your ability to learn.

[David Knight @dknightVT]

Semesterly reminder that the end of semesters is always silly season on campuses. Take lots of breaths and walks.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

On the tougher days in this job, I need to remind myself that:

-the self-doubt means I have ambitious career goals
-the failure means I'm taking risks and trying something new
-the frustration means I care and I'm passionate about my work

Congratulations to our Invention Education team!

[David Knight @dknightVT]

Would love to see more research focused on structural, policy, curricular, and organizational issues in engineering education. Those are the kinds of studies that can inform sustainable change strategies and be useful given current issues.
