Underlying Educational InterventionsThe Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) at theNational Academy of Engineering has developed a web-based database that summarizes theavailable research on educational interventions designed to enhance student learning, retention,and professional success (see www.PR2OVE-IT.org -- Peer Reviewed Research OfferingValidation of Effective and Innovative Teaching). The website is similar to the U.S. Departmentof Education’s What Works Clearinghouse (http://www.whatworks.ed.gov/>), except thatPR2OVE-IT does not engage in extensive pre-screening of papers for rigor.

. IntroductionIn a review of recent research, Gaff reported in his article “The Disconnect Between GraduateEducation and Faculty Realities” that graduate students are not equipped for the faculty positionsthey accept and have little exposure to other career paths outside the academy 1. Graduatestudents reported not having enough information to help them choose or plan for a career. Oneresponse for this lack of information is the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program launched in1993 by the Association of American Colleges and Universities and the Council of GraduateSchools. The PFF program is designed to expose students to the teaching profession and provideinformation about academic careers. Several research universities have Preparing Future

Results of the surveys had suffered fromlow response rates, biases, and demographic underrepresentation.A graduate-student committee designed a survey considering the aforementioned problems.“The improvement of research quality” was the overall survey theme, and four subtopics --research resources, research preparation, research views and attitudes, and
