Findings suggest thatdespite considerable demands of these assignments, early-career faculty experienced a variety ofprofessional development benefits from their participation, including benefits to research andscholarly activity. Faculty who participated in off-campus advising prior to tenure receivedtenure at a higher rate than the campus average.BackgroundFaculty-led experiential programs are an increasingly popular educational strategy, particularlyfor providing international experiences to STEM students1.

In the second andthird courses in this series, students have the opportunity to practice real-life scenarios andwitness their impact first-hand.This curriculum can be directly integrated into undergraduate coursework to fulfill electiverequirements; furthering the potential impact of engineering education and careers. Whenintroduced to these issues and ideas as a student, the potential for impact can be long standingand far reaching. Page 21.18.9Resources 1. Abu-Ghaida, D. and Klasen, S. The Costs of Missing the
