How does the view of the professoriate influence postdoctoral scholars’ career decision-making process?Literature ReviewA postdoctoral appointment is evolving into an important stepping stone to entering theengineering professoriate because it affords doctoral graduates with advanced preparation toassume the research, teaching, and service responsibilities of a tenure-track faculty member(Andalib et al., 2018; Main & Wang, 2019).

The impact of suchprograms extends beyond skill development, as they also play a crucial role in fostering self-efficacyand sense of belonging in the aerospace engineering community. This is particularly important giventhat URM students often face additional challenges, including imposter syndrome and a lack ofrepresentation among faculty and industry professionals [1]. Furthermore, the intersectionality ofmarginalization based on ethnicity and social class compounds the challenges faced by URMstudents, making it essential to consider multiple dimensions

Issue: Student Profile Resolution: Engineering students typically are determined to achieve constant academic progress towards graduation. They are less inclined to explore the world at large for the sake of the experience that might be provided. They are reasonably settled on their immediate career path and any exploration should at least provide useful result. Hence, in order to be successful the program had to provide very specific benefits in order to attract a sufficient number of students. Therefore, the program was designed to insure

Not only are TAsvital to the student experience, but they are also potential future faculty, after earning an advanceddegree, it will be expected that they know how to teach.
