The paper discusses strategies for teaching acrossvarious undergraduate levels, establishing and cultivating research groups within undergraduate-focused programs, and actively engaging in service roles within the academic community. Addi-tionally, it emphasizes the importance of advising, mentorship, self-care, and achieving work-lifebalance, particularly with regard to the unique experiences and challenges faced by female facultymembers.

. Teaching gives us the opportunity totouch many lives, but to a limited depth for a limited period of time. As mentors, we becomemore deeply involved in the careers and lives of our students, cultivating professionalrelationships and, often, lifelong friendships. Just as we devote time to becoming a betterteacher, we should also avail ourselves of the collective wisdom of outstanding mentors. Thispaper has distilled the advice of more than a dozen successful faculty members and facultydevelopers on a wide range of topics related to recruiting students and helping those studentssucceed in research.7.

necessityfor change in the ways that engineering instructors teach their students, instructors havegenerally been slow to adopt new teaching practices advised by researchers [2]. Interaction withstudents is a fundamental aspect of teaching that instructors have the ability to directly impact.Current literature in engineering education research points to the idea that increasing student-instructor interaction and communication contributes greatly to student success in engineeringand design courses [3], [4]. In Spring 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak resulted in a transition todistance learning for academic institutions across the globe, and this change required engineeringinstructors to reevaluate the ways in which they were able to interact and communicate

. Second,engineering researchers can narrowly isolate experimental variables and follow uniform andwidely-accepted laboratory testing standards. The results from engineering research are well-defined and replicable, and proposed models can be validated. Unlike engineering research,EER typically includes a broad range of uncontrollable confounding variables and a lack ofspecificity and guidance in the selection of appropriate theoretical frameworks and analyticalmethods [5,6].Since engineering faculty are often the initiators of EER studies, it is logical that faculty whoalready teach engineering courses and conduct engineering research may be inclined to pursueEER opportunities. Their motivation may be to either complement their ongoing
