search cycles (August 2017 toDecember 2019) to determine what academic job opportunities existed for early-careerengineering education researchers. Concurrently, interviews were conducted with seven early-career EER faculty members to get a more detailed understanding of their academic job searchand decision-making process. This paper captures the diversity of academic positions along withthe types of institutions to provide a starting point for individuals on their job search process. Italso provides an overview of the academic job search process timeline and professional andpersonal elements that can impact the decision-making process when selecting an academic job.IntroductionTo understand the academic job market that exists for engineering

topic.As an inherently convergent mixed methods design, Q methodology explains the quantitativeresults of a factor analysis using the qualitative findings from interviews. While Q methodologyhas had limited use in engineering education research to-date, it has a larger presence ineducation and educational psychology research more broadly.This paper details the history of Q methodology, when it is appropriate to use it as a researchdesign within engineering education research, the components of the methodology, how toexecute a Q methodology study, and how to analyze and interpret the results. A detailed examplefrom a dissertation is provided for how Q methodology is currently being used to study theexperiences of early career women engineers when

environment with the internship? 3) How well do the TWC course objectives position students for success after graduation?All engineering students at The Citadel must take a TWC course, typically during the sophomoreyear. The course uses a variety of assignments and projects that exercise basic tenets of technicalwriting and communications to include: audience, purpose, brevity, clarity, simplicity, etc.Students are assessed on writing, speaking, and visual communication requirements. As part ofthe grade, the students must accomplish a number of tasks and assignments that directly andindirectly contribute to their ability to earn an interview and eventually be hired as an intern.Each semester at The Citadel, there is a Career

, needs amore intimate image of a role model, a mentor who ignites academic inspiration on a very personal levelthroughout the undergraduate years and beyond. The multiple roles of a mentor are summarized by thesociologist Morris Zelditch of the American Council of Graduate Schools as follows: Mentors are advisors,people with career experience willing to share their knowledge; supporters, people who give emotionaland moral encouragement; tutors, people who give specific feedback on one’s performance; masters, inthe sense of employers to whom one is apprenticed; sponsors, sources of information about and aid inobtaining opportunities; models of identity, of the kind of person one should be to be an academic.”[3].Thus, a mentor is a very unique

and sometimes realityA corollary to real life happening, is that many academics who are in relationships will have to considermove with a partner in a non-ideal work setting, a long-distance relationship, or some other compromise,at some point [10], [11]. Sometimes academics meet other academics or ambitious people, and bothpartners have big dreams and potential with their best job prospects scattered across the country or theworld in a random collection of places. So the question of how to both make the next best career move fortwo people (referred to jokingly by those who are familiar with physics dynamics analysis as a “two-bodyproblem”) is likely to come up at some point, and a graduate student and their partner has to know wherethey

the fields of engineering.When speaking in general, it’s evident that Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)occupations have a low representation among Underrepresented Minorities (URMs). According to theNational Science Foundation, jobs that involve science or engineering show a low percentage ofemployed African Americans [1]. As of 2015, African Americans that identify with one race are roughly4 percent engineers and 3 percent physical and related scientists.These statistics give rise to the question why; why are URMs not pursuing careers in engineering?BackgroundOld Dominion University (ODU) is recognized as a minority serving institution with a plurality of racesrepresented.

. Although this is a preliminarystudy, we hope to continue increasing the involvement within the program as the Council furtherdevelops the community of GC Scholars at XXXXX. For continuation of this study, we areinterested in tracking the effect of the student council on the outcome and development of GCScholars in the following key areas: the quantity and quality of applicants to the Program,engagement from Scholars in GC-specific activities, and post-graduation pursuit of careers in theGrand Challenges. Beginning in fall 2020, we will track these areas in order to monitor the effectof the student council on the success within the Program.Although this is a qualitative study as opposed to an analysis across GCSPs at multipleuniversities, the

The participant had a positive outlook on the research experience based onthese circumstances. This concludes that a well-rounded mentoring experience can impact aresearch experience in a positive way and introduce a greater amount of knowledge to thestudent. Multiple research experiences entail multiple mentorship experiences that come alongwith it. The different experiences add more depth to a student’s overall research experience.Whether the participant decides to choose a career

in perceptions of female facultybetween students who attended gender-segregated schools, which are common amongst the localpopulation, and those who graduated from international schools. Finally, religion is expected toinfluence student perceptions because of certain rules and regulations in Islam – the most popularreligion in the Middle East – that restrict mixed-gender interactions.The results may shed light on the potential impact of female faculty on engineering students,especially female students. Based on the results, universities in the region may rethink theirfaculty model to better cater to the needs of students. The study may also encourage females inthe region to pursue a teaching career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or
