A faculty member’s work, whether they are early careeror at a later stage in their academic career, can fall into a reactive mode, rather than anintentional and proactive mode that supports one’s goals. In other words, one can becomecaught up in the day-to-day series of tasks, many of them calling for one’s immediate attentionand time, and delaying progress on long-term goals and complex projects.This paper presents a holistic framework that helps one make time management decisions andwork towards

For undergraduates,this is professional ethics in an industrial or consulting context.1 For graduate students, whosetraining is preparation for a career in research, this is typically research ethics, implicitly in anacademic context.2 Thus, both construe the responsibilities of the engineer relatively narrowly.In particular, the concerns of each taper dramatically as the borders of the immediate work siteare crossed. While some focus is of course necessary and appropriate, the present narrowness hasarguably become unhealthily myopic, particularly

Statistics predicts growth of 13.4% from2014 to 2024 in jobs for STEM-related post-secondary teachers [1]. Women are a growingpercentage of PhDs in STEM but are not proportionately represented among assistant professors[2]; to support this employment growth it will likely be necessary to attract more women to thefaculty. Of even more significance is that STEM faculty play a critical double role in the healthand gender make-up of the future STEM workforce. Research shows that role models have animportant impact on career pathway decisions made by women engineering students [3]. Mostengineers are first exposed to the profession through their STEM faculty, so if this group is notdiverse, or if diverse workers (such as women) are perceived to be
