These competencies includesubject matter expertise, teaching and assessment skills, instructional design and technology,and leadership and professional development. By working towards the systematicimprovement of these competencies, engineering educators can establish themselves ashighly qualified professionals who can make a significant impact on the education system.The international recognition of engineering educators also has a symbiotic effect on therecognition of

: Fostering Interest in EngineeringAmong High School Students and Developing Future Engineering EducatorsABSTRACTThe development of the engineering workforce is a priority of engineering educators acrossdisciplines. Domestically, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that approximately 25,000new civil engineers will be needed each year of this decade. Given recent infrastructurelegislation, many more civil engineers will likely be required to design, build, and maintain theseproposed projects. Well-developed pre-college engineering curricula have been proven toincrease student enrollment in engineering majors. However, these benefits depend on effectiveclassroom technologies, tools, and techniques. This multi-year study looks at a one
leadership roles, related to the design and/or delivery of an US Eng Ed PhDprogram. Program selection was restricted to Engineering Education PhD degree programs in theUS and it excluded programs with any integration of other disciplines and focus areas in the titlee.g., Science Technology Engineering Mathematics Education PhD programs. The focus onleaders, such as program directors and/or coordinators, resonates with perspectives of doctoraleducation leadership that Prewitt espoused [10]. Prewitt argued that unlike pre-doctoralqualifications, the design and delivery of PhD programs is shaped by a broad spectrum ofinstitutional and national leaders who control entry into PhD programs, doctoral training,publication outlets, career development, and

increase engagement in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM). Recent studies have made significant advances in unveiling LGBTQ+ inequities andmarginalization in STEM, such as disparate retention rates in STEM educational programs [1] andprofessional devaluation [2]. These emerging studies suggest that the LGBTQ+ community ismarginalized and that the LGBTQ+ community should be included in efforts to broaden participation inSTEM.Suitably, the number of grants awarded to study and support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,and queer (LGBTQ+) community in STEM fields has grown over the past few decades. For example, in2020, the NSF awarded the first-ever CAREER grant that explicitly included the acronym “LGBTQ” in theproposal title
