This protocol outlines a new method of conducting longitudinal studies using MTurk by utilizing the MTurkR package in R. The package is relatively easy to use, even for novice users of R. The MTurkR package allows researchers to efficiently contact and pay MTurk workers, without breaking the MTurk user agreement or paying extra fees to manage participants using an external service.

ISE-2 was a faculty development program designed to increase student engagement and retention in engineering undergraduate students through workshops, coffee conversations, and focus groups. The program does so by increasing awareness of how implicit bias can impact classroom instruction and climate; reducing the effects of implicit bias in the teaching and learning context; and increasing the utilization of active learning teaching strategies to improve student success. Our framework and approach address common challenges of students based on the literature, including a lack of sense of belonging, culture within engineering, difficulty of the program, and teaching/advising methods.
