, nearly half (45%) of all high school seniors indicated an intent to study scienceand engineering (S&E), yet in the 2015 survey of full-time undergraduates, just more than onethird (37%) of undergraduate enrollments were in S&E programs, indicating there exists adisconnect between enrollment and graduation rates. In 2015, out of nearly two-millionbachelor’s degrees earned; less than one-hundred thousand were in engineering (5.2%)(NSB Appendix Table 2-21 [2]). “We are graduating fewer engineers now than 20 years ago,both in terms of absolute numbers and as a percentage of all college degrees” [3]. This is alsoreflected in the National Science Board (NSB) cohort study which identified that more than onein six (16.3%) of students who

three, when talking about the workload related to the change effort, these facultymembers said similar comments to the change ready faculty such as, “It’s teaching, teaching isteaching.”Examples of poor sportsmanship were evident at the start of the project when Dr. Alban did notwant to participate or commit time to the project for fear it would be replaced with somethingelse. Comments like it “take[s] me away from my comfort zone, which is lecturing” and “I needto be convinced that this is a sustainable effort” are examples of this. These issues were resolvedthrough courteous behaviors from Dr. Bora as evident by comments like this: I feel like without this cohort of colleagues who are making changes … and that person giving me

Italso generalizes the main components of successful CAREER proposals rather than focusing onthe particular research and education aspects of a project.Moving Toward “CAREER Ready”While the previous two sections provide useful advice for positioning one’s CAREER proposal,they do not include sign-posts indicating what an individual should be doing or looking for to beready to write a competitive CAREER proposal and, if successful, thrive while completing thepromised work. Recognizing this gap, we developed and honed the 5 “I”s of CAREER readiness.The Five I’s are: Ideas, Integration, Impact, Identity, and Infrastructure
theirintern(s). For example, they had to actively encourage confused interns to ask questions.Similarly, the mentors learned that the interns were not always willing to admit when they didnot understand new material. I learned that I should encourage students I am working with to ask more questions earlier on and that I should be more active in confirming that my explanations are adequate. I can do this by asking the student to write in words what I have asked them to do or to show me after they do the first step. I learned that even when a student says they understand and gives a one sentence summary it does not necessarily mean that they understand. I have learned to think from the student side and make

substantial qualification in engineering education pedagogy.Our assertion is that the USA should not risk being left behind, and thus it is imperative that awider cohort of early career engineering educators should acquire substantial pedagogical andeducational training during their initial year(s) of teaching. “Pedagogy” being taken to meaninstructional techniques, and “educational” to encompass the curriculum and the philosophiesthat underpin pedagogies. Four propositions support this view: 1. Assuming that teaching is a professional activity, it is incumbent on a professional to be aware of the knowledge that constructs the activity and act therein taking into account the evidence available. 2. Without such knowledge it is difficult
