Academic faculty members in your department on research/programmatic experiences projects that align you’re your research/career interests. They should participate in professional activities that are common for people who have completed their doctorate. - For example, do some peer reviewing, give conference talks, contribute chapters to books, demos, write or assist your advisor in writing grant proposals; take charge in planning a seminar, meeting, workshop within the department or outside; teach some classes in a course.3) Access to Mentors Some graduate

Four databases (ISIWeb of Science, Engineering Index, ERIC—Education Resources Information Center, andAcademic Search Complete) were searched using a combination of search terms, including“preparing future faculty,” “engineering,” “faculty development,” “teacher education,” “faculty,”and “program effectiveness” for publications appearing from 1993 to present. Searches usingGoogle and Google Scholar were also considered for those publications not included in oursearch engines or not submitted for peer

their technical, communication, and collaborative skills. We believe that this mediumpresents exciting opportunities for students to apply learned skills to real-life situations and thatfindings from this study are transferable to other types of learners.2. Related WorkMinorities, women, and individuals with disabilities are historically underrepresentedpopulations in STEM. The STEM workforce, and particularly computer science and engineering,have a disproportionate amount of white, male representation as compared to their peers. Overthe past several decades, researchers have studied the disparity of representation in STEM fields[2]. Despite these efforts, the participation levels of individuals with disabilities and minoritiesremain

.Student ratings of male and female instructors are likely influenced by the genderedexpectations of the rater12. Two straightforward examples of gendered expectations are thatstudents are more likely to assume a male instructor holds a PhD as compared with a femaleinstructor13 and are more likely to refer to male instructors as “Doctor” or by their last namewhen writing evaluations of their instructors14. Each of these examples shows that the status andcredentials of female faculty are discounted. Female professors may be expected to be morecaring and nurturing than male professors, given that these traits are considered morefeminine12. Even though female instructors had more meetings with students outside of classhours, students were more likely

Such activities support and encourage students todevelop skills, such as critical thinking and problem solving that are essential for academic andworkplace success.

that thesense of belonging in women students is consistently higher in departments where they arerepresented in higher numbers9. At Arizona State University, the long-term effects to a suite ofstrategies designed to increase sense of belonging were found to be an increase in retention from0.9% per year to 1.6% per year in their undergraduate engineering cohorts from 1998 to 201310.Four areas were identified at the University of Washington as being important to thedevelopment of community and belonging of ethnic minority students: co-curricular activities,peer support, faculty/department support, and residence programs. They found that supportmechanisms changed with time and responsive strategies should reflect that11. Sophomore andjunior level

. Activitiesof the program included: pre-test and post-test to gauge knowledge and interest; field trips todemonstrate green energy; professional STEM presenters; ArcGIS® software training todemonstrate geographical constraints. Field trips associated with the program included visits tothe Iowa Flood Center, to Iowa Hydraulics Modules and to the Kirkwood Community CollegeWind Turbine. The students worked in pairs and had to answer the question: Which geographicalfactors are most important when placing a wind turbine? Students presented the results of theirmapping exercise to their peers and mentors. Comparison of pre and post STEM interest surveyswere used to reveal the program impact, and provided guidance for further improvement of theprogram.17

. Our community college partnersmay accept students into their schools even if the student is not skills proficient inreading and/or writing and/or math; these students then take remedial or developmentalcourses so that they can become skills proficient in reading and/or writing and/or math.At the senior college, all of the students who enter into the school of engineering asfreshmen are skills proficient. Once a student is accepted into the school of engineering,s/he is classified as an engineering major and once s/he begins as a first-time, full-timestudent, the student is part of the cohort that is tracked and reported for retention andgraduation data analysis.In order for information to be consistent, the cohort of students in a program has

More than 75 authored or co-authored peer-reviewed publications, 100 conference papers and project reports, and several software packages and databases have been produced from this research. Dr. Burian’s enthusiasm for student learning has led to numerous teaching awards and the creation of new pedagogical approaches directed toward multi-institution collaborative learning. He has also sought to advance teaching effectiveness of engineering educators by serving as mentor at the American Society of Civil Engineers ExCEEd Teaching Workshop and as the developer of a vari- ety of teaching and curriculum development workshops, including the recent Wasatch Experience at the University of

explained how receiving sucha grade triggers a probationary status on the student’s record by the Graduate School. And thenshe gave the faculty member what he really needed – the knowledge of what was a “typical”grade distribution for a graduate course, in his department. That is, she gave him a copy of thegrade distributions of other faculty in the department, in writing, for him to reflect on. Theassistant professor did a really good job of listening. He did not launch into explanations of whythe students had earned a grade of C, or act defensively – he listened.
