For a new faculty member, this translates into developing new course material, teaching courses, managing teaching assistants, and seeing students outside of class. In the department discussed here, a full teaching load is three courses each semester and, in addition, new faculty must assume the responsibility of advising twenty to forty undergraduate students.• Service and Professional Development: Finally, a tenure-track faculty member must perform university and professional service such as reviewing external materials, serving on departmental and

Engineering: Perspectives of Engineering Faculty (Work in Progress)IntroductionDespite a growing emphasis on engineering in grades K-12, persistently high dropout ratesplague undergraduate engineering programs [1],[2]. Prior studies indicate that engineeringactivities have the potential to increase interest in engineering pathways [3] or develop anengineering identity [4]. Less clear is whether pre-college engineering instruction alsocontributes to students' success in engineering career pathways by adequately preparing studentsfor undergraduate engineering. One concern is that K-12 engineering lessons "may mislead orunder prepare [students] by providing activities that they enjoy but which have little relation toengineering

In this project, we seek to understandfaculty conceptualizations of health and well-being that developed through their undergraduateand graduate experiences.Our preliminary results show that the undergraduate experiences of faculty included elements ofthriving and well-being such as self-knowledge and self-control. Some identified key turningpoints in realizing their best strategies to maximize their well-being and academic success, whichenhanced their decision-making abilities. Furthermore, some participants achieved academicsuccess despite poor well-being and thriving outcomes, which raises questions about the culturaland systemic factors that promote such dualism.
