with year-long activities, built upon the findings of a previous NSF 1.5-day workshop. The specific goals of the project include: 1. increase the awareness of what is"needed" to be an assistant professor; 2. quantify the specific areas PhD students and post-docsidentified they need the most assistance with; 3. increase participant knowledge on effectiveSTEM undergraduate learning; 4. advance the awareness and skills pertaining to curriculumdevelopment, delivery and assessment; 5. enhance the establishment of a research career; and 6.increase participant networking opportunities. Achievement of these goals will yield a morediverse and better prepared set of engineering educators, leading to better-equipped engineersentering the workforce.The
