students with funding for four semesters as theywork toward a Master’s Degree in their chosen major. With this opportunity in mind, theCollege of Engineering Dean’s Office and the four department Chairpersons formed a committeeto develop a summer training program that prepares the Teaching Fellows for the classroomexperience. The program has four stages: 1) Orientation, 2) Instruction, 3) ClassroomImmersion, and 4) Individual Practice. In this paper each stage is described in detail. Thisintensive training program with its novel use of classroom experience in summer programs hasprovided the Teaching Fellows the opportunity to gain the confidence and skills to succeed intheir Fellowship requirements.

survey research discussed in this article addresses agap in the literature by developing a quantitative approach to graduate student identitydevelopment in engineering, education, and engineering education. We explore graduatestudents’ perceptions of their multiple roles today and in the future, focusing on a) the actualroles they currently hold, b) the roles they desire to hold now and in the future, and c) the rolesthey believe they are expected to hold now and in the future.TerminologyThroughout this research key terms were used with distinct definitions in mind. First, the termidentity is used in terms of who a person is in the professional sense. For example, for graduatestudents and professoriate, identity often includes the roles of

, inparticular, are developing into future colleagues of their mentors. As both Kram’s and Nyquist &Wulff ’s models show, the roles and expectations of supervisors and mentors must also developalong with their students for this process to work. Toward this end, the fellowship program thatwe describe in the next section and throughout this paper was designed to support students asthey practice the roles of faculty alongside mentors who are near-peers, thus supporting thetransition between the “colleague-in-training” and the “junior colleague” stages of development.Creating a Graduate Student-to-Faculty Fellowship Program The Rising Engineering Education Faculty fellowship (REEFF) was designed with asingle objective in mind: to develop a self
