Theprogram supports the professional development of graduate students by providing participantsopportunities to use their engineering education expertise while engaging in the academic cultureas a faculty member [1-3]. Through engagement in the program, graduate students canexperience faculty life at a different institution, build their professional network, and practiceskills as a faculty change agent [1-3]. In addition, the program intends to facilitate research-to-practice exchanges of knowledge by encouraging existing faculty at the receiving
degree within six years in any science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) field [2]. As the U.S. aims to increase their STEM workforce, they arefaced with the harsh truth that, while women and ethnic minorities represent 70% of collegestudents, less than 45% are pursuing a degree in STEM [3]. Women represent nearly half of theworkforce in the U.S. however, only a quarter of these women hold STEM jobs [4]. With thesetroubling facts of the U.S. schools and workforce, studies would further suggest that, whilerecruitment efforts are being geared further towards racially and ethnically diverse men andwomen students, little is being done to ensure their retention in their STEM careers.
