These are teaching-focused positions and will keep thepartner very busy, precluding their ability to pursue research objectives.

Engineering Education, 2021Quality Mentorship Matters: An Innovative Approach to Supporting Student Success in Engineering Undergraduate ResearchIn this research study, the authors developed a new model of mentorship for faculty members toengage and support their group of students conducting undergraduate engineering research.Research efforts attest that mentoring undergraduate students is a critical role that can dramaticallyenhance student academic and personal outcomes. This finding is magnified in the context ofSTEM related disciplines, such as engineering, where efforts to pro-actively diversify theworkforce are taking shape. Yet, not every form of faculty-student mentorship is proven to beeffective, particularly when faculty conceal

The Chronicle of Higher Education’s survey, however, didnot explore the experiences of the faculty members from a teaching perspective.The experience of faculty members after this rapid switch to remote instruction was captured byblog posts and reports. These reports observed that faculty members lectured in the remoteenvironment much more than in in-person environment [5-6], experienced a decreasedinteraction with students during class time and students’ engagement

Austin [41] discusses how an ideal graduate schoolexperience prepares students who wish to pursue academic careers by socializing students intothe role of faculty. She highlights how research and teaching assistantships, coupled withadequate reflection opportunities, can help students become aware of the skills they aredeveloping which will be valuable as a faculty member. Unlike the other authors, Canfield didnot serve in the large campus-wide student government, instead working with a number ofinterest focused clubs. Even as a graduate student, she saw

findings.For a number of years, several members of the American Society for Engineering Education(ASEE) thought that ASEE should engage in the recognition of educational qualifications if itwas to be a truly professional society. It was felt that ASEE had a professional responsibility toencourage all new engineering educators to gain an initial teaching qualification, not to beconfused with subsequent faculty development. There were no courses equivalent to IGIP [9] butthere were a few well established and recognized courses that were regularly offered (e.g. NETI)[10].

discussed the pros and cons of various gradingoptions (e.g., credit/no credit versus a regular grading scheme), tools for synchronous andasynchronous learning, and strategies for assessing learning. For example, in a late March facultymeeting, faculty spoke about a decision not to give any midterm exams and grappled with how toshow care for all the hardships and uncertainty students were experiencing, while also trying tofigure out how to monitor student learning. One faculty member said: “In the classroom setting,you can walk around and watch the students do a problem. [Online], how do I determine whetherthe students are actually working on material or not?

How does the view of the professoriate influence postdoctoral scholars’ career decision-making process?Literature ReviewA postdoctoral appointment is evolving into an important stepping stone to entering theengineering professoriate because it affords doctoral graduates with advanced preparation toassume the research, teaching, and service responsibilities of a tenure-track faculty member(Andalib et al., 2018; Main & Wang, 2019).

Teaching assistants play a vital role in the teaching mission of higher education institutionslike the College of Engineering at UW Madison. They are often the first point of contact a studentmay have with their instructional team and the most familiar role model for an undergraduatestudent questioning a career in the course subject field or academia in general. Not only are TAsvital to the student experience, but they are also potential future faculty, after earning an advanceddegree, it will be expected that they know how to teach. The mission of NEO is to prepare TAs for the charge of teaching, through giving them theskills and tools to teach and engage students, developing their identity as a teacher and skills toadvocate for themselves

learning facilitators (PLFs) as they first seek to support theircapacity to teach, and in doing so, also gain insight from them. Many faculty report seekingfeedback from their PLFs as they make instructional decisions. Taking this further, some haveargued that students should be co-designers. However, engaging teams of students and faculty inthis way presents a clear power imbalance [24], but one that researchers have asserted can beovercome by positioning students as collaborators and discussing points of view and insightsgained from these different vantage points. Others have argued that because of the powerdynamics, an intermediary such as an expert in teaching and learning is needed to formsuccessful student-faculty design partnerships [25

Business Model Canvas (BMC) (Osterwalder et al., 2010).Rather than creating market value, as in the BMC, the intention is to help a faculty member intentionallynavigate a career of fulfilment and purpose. Just as the BMC implies that there is no one way to start asuccessful business, there is no one way to be a successful faculty member. Several design principles from 1the BMC were used. First, a canvas is a single page, with large blank spaces that invite exploration andflexibility. Simple frameworks reduce cognitive load and can be more easily internalized, such that theycan become a persistent mental image to help make future decisions
