This paper summarizes these grantsmanship development eventsin the form of lessons that junior engineering faculty can apply when constructing an entireproposal.Each proposal contributes to a faculty member’s reputation and must be approached withthoughtful attention to this end. Common struggles in proposal development include: setting andmaintaining a timeline to the proposal deadline, creating goals and objectives and using them toorganize a proposal, writing a proposal to sell an idea to a funding agency and not as amanuscript for publication, and focusing text to address review criteria, especially the NSFbroader impacts review criterion.

• Enhanced educational and mentoring experience for graduate studentsThe faculty mentor plays a key role in the process. New faculty especially need to make sure that the effort theyput into mentoring a student in this worthwhile program has a return on its investment. In other words, theparticipant’s project should lead to at least a presentation or poster at a professional meeting, but more ideally, itshould provide a substantial contribution to a paper prepared for peer-review. ENABLING MEANINGFUL RESEARCH EXPERIENCESThe primary goal of a summer research experience is to offer an informative, positive immersion in research so thatparticipants can make an informed decision as to whether they would like to pursue an

Thus, you have the bestchance to make an immediate scholarly impact by: • writing one or two more papers in Topic X. This keeps your publishing record intact and shows you can publish papers on your own (usually a key “deliverable” of a national research grant) • making a “lateral move” into a new, but parallel field of research.

My experience transitioningfrom teaching face-to-face to online learning environments two years before COVID-19 could help otherinstructors strengthen the skills and knowledge needed for succeeding in online teaching. Besides thetypical challenges related to being a subject matter expert and even a pedagogical expert tied toteaching any course, online teaching of large course environments offers additional challenges.

Such a TA is a “peer model,” and peer models areeffective in promoting “self-efficacy,” the belief that, by performing in a certain manner, one canachieve certain goals.There is also an advantage to hiring the best student you can find who has taken the course fromyou.
