AB  - This work in progress describes a proposal for increasing faculty competitiveness in research and scholarship. The rapid evolution of information technology had highlighted the clear need for academia to equip students with the tools to succeed in the modern-day STEM technical workforce. To remain current with advances in technology and heightened industry expectations, degree programs must continuously reevaluate their curricula to ensure that graduates have the requisite skillsets and competencies to compete in todays – and tomorrows – job market. Today’s students are being trained for jobs that did not exist even ten years ago. Indeed, many current jobs will be obsolete ten years from now. What remains unknown is how can we best prepare our students for this ever-changing job market?
To address this, we have been researching best practices to produce top tier students and found that continuous faculty development is key. Literature says that faculty professional development is a part vital component of continuous learning and is widely regarded in academia as a high-impact practice for faculty success. As such, we are strengthening faculty development through monthly industry-led hands-on training workshops that train them on cutting-edge technologies. In August 2021 our department began this initiative of creating industry-led workshops/retreats where faculty can earn badges for acquiring new skillsets. The desired outcome is increase faculty expertise in cutting-edge software technologies to better educate the generation-z students and to increase faculty competitiveness in research and scholarship. We will gauge the success of this objective by having faculty will earn two digital badges per academic year. Poster presentation.
