Dr. Oludare Owolabi, a professional engineer in Maryland, joined the Morgan State University faculty in 2010. He is the director of the sustainable infrastructure development, smart innovation and relient engineering and the director of undergraduate programs in the department of civil engineering at Morgan State University.
Pelumi Abiodun is a current doctoral student and research assistant at the department of Civil Engineering, Morgan State University, Baltimore, Maryland. Pelumi got his BSc and MSc degree in Physics from Obafemi Awolowo University, where he also served as a research assistant at the Environmental Pollution Research unit, in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. As part of his contribution to science and engineering, Pelumi has taught as a teaching assistant both at Morgan State University and Obafemi Awolowo University. With passion to communicate research findings and gleaned from experts in the field as he advances his career, Olaitan has attended several in-persons and virtual conferences and workshop, and at some of them, made presentation on findings on air pollution, waste water reuse, and heavy metal contamination.
The paper highlights how a well-organized professional development workshop has been strategically utilized to improve the scholarship of graduate trainees on a multi-STEM educational program. The paper further highlights the strategies used for planning, implementation, and assessment of the workshop. The paper equally elaborates on the writing accountability group structure as a catalyst for achieving writing goals. Results show a significant increase in self-efficacy of the participants in the development of STEM education manuscripts. Additionally, through the writing accountability group structure, there was a significant increase in trainees’ scholarship productivity.
