AGEP Post-Doctoral Engineering Education Researchers (AGEP PEERs)

AGEP博士后工程教育研究人员(AGEP Peers)根据0239565号主动建议主协议的条款，美国国家科学院请求资金，在三年内作为博士后研究员，每年支持四(4)个研究生教育联盟和教授(AGEP)校友，为他们作为国家顶尖大学教师成员的工程教育研究实践做进一步准备。这些AGEP校友将被称为AGEP博士后工程教育研究人员(AGEP Peers)，并将在21世纪教师所需的多种形式的奖学金中为培养出无可争议的优秀教师做出贡献。这项工作将由中国工程院工程教育奖学金促进中心执行。这一努力的结果将是肯定的。在工程教育研究中心确定和安置12名AGEP校友，进行为期12个月的以工程教育为重点的博士后研究经验，并期望发表论文。出席现任和前任AGEP同行举行的年度研究员会议，以建立社区和利用个人经验。每个AGEP同行最多参加3次额外的专业会议，以在他们的专业社区中建立存在。这一努力旨在通过将AGEP校友与主要的工程教育研究中心联系起来，加强教授的人力基础设施和多样性。这一努力是对AGEP研究员在其博士项目中发展起来的学科专业知识的补充，通过建立他们在教学和学习方面的学术技能。该项目的成功完成将有助于建立一支新的少数民族教职员工队伍，为在研究和教育方面的卓越表现做好充分准备。他们的技能将激励他们的同龄人以及来自所有群体和人口的新一代学者。此外，工程学教师对教育研究的严谨性和适用性的更多认识将有助于更全面地定义教师学术知识，并进一步修改工程学教师的终身教职和晋升制度。

AGEP Post-doctoral Engineering Education Researchers (AGEP PEERs) Under the terms of Master Agreement No. 0239565 for unsolicited proposals, the NationalAcademy of Sciences requests funds to support four (4) Alliances for Graduate Educationand the Professoriate (AGEP) alumni per year over a three-year period as post-doctoralfellows in further preparation for their practice of engineering education research as facultymembers at the Nation.s leading universities. These AGEP alumni will be referred to asAGEP Post-doctoral Engineering Education Researchers (AGEP PEERs) and will contribute to the production of faculty peers of unquestioned excellence in the multiple forms of scholarship required for faculty for the 21st Century. The work will be performed by theCenter for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education of the NationalAcademy of Engineering. The outcomes of this effort will be1. Identification and placement of 12 AGEP alumni at engineering education researchcenters for 12-month post-doctoral research experiences focused on engineeringeducation with expectation of resulting publication.2. Attendance of an annual Fellows meeting by current and former AGEP PEERs to buildcommunity and leverage individual experiences.3. Attendance of up to 3 additional professional meetings by each AGEP PEER to establisha presence in their professional community.Intellectual Merit This effort seeks to strengthen the human infrastructure and diversity of the professoriate bylinking AGEP alumni with premier centers of engineering education research. This effortcomplements the disciplinary expertise AGEP fellows have developed within their doctoralprogram by building their skills in the scholarship of teaching and learning. Thus, this projectadvances the integration of research and education.Broader Impacts Successful completion of this project will contribute to the establishment of a cadre of newminority faculty well prepared for excellence in both research and education. Their skills willserve to inspire their peers as well as new generations of scholars from all groups andpopulations. Additionally, greater awareness of the rigor and applicability of education researchby engineering faculty will contribute to more inclusive definitions of faculty scholarship and abeneficial modification of engineering faculty tenure and promotion systems.
