Careers in Engineering Academia (Experience)AbstractImproving undergraduate STEM teaching for diverse students is dependent to some extent onincreasing the representation of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and women inthe ranks of faculty in engineering departments. However, new faculty members, whether theyhad postdoctoral training or not, report that they were not adequately prepared for academia. Toaddress this need, a professional development program was developed for underrepresenteddoctoral and postdoctoral students, which focused on various strategies to be successful inteaching, research and service aspects of academic positions.
