on previous collaborative change efforts implemented in a multidisciplinaryengineering department at a Hispanic-serving research institution in the Southwest and supportedby a multiple-year NSF-funded Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) grant. Theabrupt shifts in instructional environments and practices brought on by the pandemic provide avaluable opportunity for us to explore whether and how faculty changes inspired and supportedby RED-related activities were sustained during a time of crisis and upheaval. By analyzing andtriangulating qualitative data sources such as interviews, recorded faculty meetings andprofessional development workshops, archived emails, and student surveys, we identified andreported salient indicators of
response to such lack of community, the College of Engineering at the University ofIllinois at Urbana-Champaign recently established a Teaching Professionals Program (TPro2) forits specialized teaching faculty. This paper reports on the inception of the program, its goals, andits outcomes to date. We also provide advice for others interested in developing such a programat their own institution.IntroductionAt the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the College of Engineering hasapproximately 65 teaching faculty (roughly 16% of all faculty), and the numbers are growing. In2014, we (the authors, a senior lecturer in computer science and the director of the collegeteaching center) began to recognize and discuss the challenges and opportunities

© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Engineering Faculty As Academic Change LeadersAbstractMost stakeholders in engineering industry and education agree that change is needed inengineering education in order to improve the quality of instruction and produce engineeringgraduates with a wide range of skills. However, despite this consensus and several efforts toimplement change, the accomplishments of the past 20 years have not met expectations. Thus,we aim to develop a nationwide program to help engineering faculty members develop changeleadership skills. In support of this goal, we held a collaborative workshop to engage engineeringfaculty and administrators in a conversation about effective ways of implementing
studentsto support research and teaching activities. Often, new faculty are assigned graduate studentassistants for research projects or are given TA’s from a pool of applicants. Sometimes theseworking relationships turn out to be productive for both the faculty member and the student, butmany times this is not the case. This paper will present a method of identifying students early onin their academic careers and developing good working relationships that are beneficial to bothfaculty and students.Over the past five years, students who have done well in lower-level classes have been hired asgraders, lab instructors, and – in some cases – MS students. By hand-selecting students andintroducing them gradually to the instructor’s side of class

As evident by the scholarly activity, development of a newdivision within ASEE, and attendance at the sessions for that division, engineering leadership isan area of increasing interest among the engineering education community. However,discussions at a 2015 conference panel appeared to show that this interest is not uniform acrossall members of the professorate.

example, in a study of over 4,500 students at various doctoral and master’slevel institutions, Lundberg and Schreiner9 found that the quality of faculty-student relationshipssignificantly predicted learning for all ethnic groups. In a much broader study of over 43,000students from 119 majors across nine campuses, Kim and Sax10 report that students’ contact withfaculty and undergraduate research engagement were significantly related to their cognitivedevelopment. In a smaller study of approximately 200 students at a single institution, Halawah11provides evidence that both faculty concern and informal faculty relations were significantlycorrelated to intellectual development. Although these results were significant across all majors,a positive

Studies have shown that mentorship is critical to the career and professional development of workers, including postsecondary faculty. Evidence from the literature on faculty-to-faculty mentorship has generally come from the medical field and/or focused only on the academic institution where the study was conducted. This study extends the literature by examining data reported by faculty across multiple institutions and fields in the Early Career Doctorates Survey (ECDS). Guided by a theoretical framework adapted from Higgins and Kram (2001), multiple linear regression models are applied to investigate which factors are associated with faculty attainment of mentorship, and how mentorship of
