项目摘要

The PROMISE Engineering Institute is a diversity and inclusion effort for the State of Maryland that brings together the state's largest engineering entities to collaborate for the purpose of actively increasing engineering faculty diversity within Maryland. The effort's uniqueness lies with its plan to facilitate faculty diversity by actively leveraging partnerships to provide underrepresented early-career and future engineering professors with intentional professional national and international networks. These networks are designed to increase participants exposure within the engineering community, retain them in the academy, and propel research collaborations particularly related to the National Academy of Engineering's Grand Challenges, and strengthen engineering identity and cultural competencies within engineering's national landscape. The project involves advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, visiting professors, and assistant professors from each of Maryland's engineering schools and colleges: The College of Engineering & IT at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), The Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP), The Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, and the Clarence M. Mitchell School of Engineering at Morgan State University. The PROMISE Engineering Institute will be established with support from the University System of Maryland (12 institutions) and the Maryland Independent College and University Association (15 member institutions). Further, participating scholars will have the opportunity to develop national and international networks to facilitate their interest and engagement in collaborative research and attention to global problems through the PROMISE Engineering Institute's committed partnerships with the Southern Regional Educational Board's Doctoral Scholars Program and Institute for Teaching and Mentoring (SREB), the William Averette Anderson Fund (Bill Anderson Fund , BAF), the Latin and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI), the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC), the World Engineering Education Forum (WEEF), the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), and the international Center for the Integration of Teaching, Research, and Learning (CIRTL). The PROMISE Engineering Institute effort is designed to unify the faculty diversity commitment of the engineering schools within the state, by adding support and commitment from the University System of Maryland (USM) and the Maryland Independent College and University Association (MICUA). The statewide collaborative will address faculty diversity on a broad scale, with shared responsibility across the state's engineering programs. The project will engage in four activities: 1) Portal: There will be a statewide online portal that will showcase engineering advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who are available for faculty positions. 2) Training: Participants will receive professional development and training for collaboration through participation in national and international efforts that will assist with providing them with a global network, key for the engineering disciplines. Further, the training portion will provide scholars with comprehensive research and pedagogical skills. 3) Placement: Campuses in the State of Maryland will collaborate to develop new opportunities to attract diverse scholars such as post-doc to tenure-track conversion models, and collaborative industry-based visiting professorships. These are targeted faculty placement initiatives, supplemented by "toward tenure" activities. 4) Support: The project will facilitate transitional support for new postdocs and assistant professors by bringing together current engineering faculty mentors within departments where scholars are placed, to discuss and develop strong support mechanisms that will facilitate retention. The project will also build communities of practice among the participating scholars that will assist with preparing for roles as engineering faculty. This portion of the project is designed to facilitate collaborative networks of engineering faculty from all races and ranks that connect within and across engineering departments in Maryland The project will be evaluated by Westat, which has developed a logic model that shows the objective as facilitating faculty appointments among scholars who are underrepresented minority (URM) group members in engineering.

PROMISE工程学院是马里兰州的多元化和包容性努力，汇集了该州最大的工程实体，以积极增加马里兰州内工程教师多样性的目的进行合作。这项工作的独特之处在于它的计划，以促进教师的多样性，积极利用伙伴关系，提供代表性不足的早期职业和未来的工程教授有意专业的国家和国际网络。这些网络旨在增加参与者在工程界的曝光率，将他们留在学院，并推动特别是与国家工程学院的大挑战有关的研究合作，并加强工程国家景观中的工程身份和文化能力。该项目涉及来自马里兰州各工程学院的高级研究生、博士后研究员、客座教授和助理教授：马里兰州巴尔的摩县大学（UMBC）的工程IT学院、马里兰州大学帕克分校（UMCP）的克拉克工程学院、约翰霍普金斯大学的怀汀工程学院和克拉伦斯M.摩根州立大学米切尔工程学院。PROMISE工程学院将在马里兰州大学系统（12个机构）和马里兰州独立学院和大学协会（15个成员机构）的支持下建立。此外，参与学者将有机会发展国家和国际网络，以促进他们的兴趣和参与合作研究和关注全球问题，通过PROMISE工程研究所的承诺与南部地区教育委员会的博士生学者计划和研究所的教学和指导（SREB），威廉阿韦雷特安德森基金工程学院的主要合作伙伴包括：工程学院联合会（Bill安德森基金，BAF）、拉丁和加勒比工程学院联合会（LACEI）、全球工程学院理事会（GEDC）、世界工程教育论坛（WEEF）、国际工程教育学会联合会（IFEES）和国际教学、研究和学习一体化中心（CIRTL）。PROMISE工程学院的努力旨在统一国家内的工程学校的教师多样性的承诺，通过增加支持和承诺，从马里兰州（USM）和马里兰州独立学院和大学协会（MICUA）的大学系统。全州范围内的合作将在广泛的范围内解决教师多样性问题，并在全州的工程项目中分担责任。该项目将从事四项活动：1）门户网站：将有一个全州范围的在线门户网站，将展示工程高级研究生和博士后研究员谁是教师职位可用。2)培训内容：参与者将通过参与国家和国际努力获得专业发展和合作培训，这将有助于为他们提供一个全球网络，这是工程学科的关键。此外，培训部分将为学者提供全面的研究和教学技能。3)位置：马里兰州的校园将合作开发新的机会，以吸引不同的学者，如博士后到终身教职的转换模式，以及基于行业的合作访问教授职位。这些都是有针对性的教师安置计划，辅以“走向终身教职”活动。4)技术支持：该项目将通过将学者所在部门内的现有工程学院导师聚集在一起，讨论和制定有利于留住人才的强有力的支持机制，促进对新博士后和助理教授的过渡性支持。该项目还将在参与的学者中建立实践社区，这将有助于为工程学院的角色做准备。该项目的这一部分旨在促进工程教师的协作网络，从所有种族和职级，连接内部和跨工程部门在马里兰州该项目将由Westat，它已经开发了一个逻辑模型，显示了促进教师任命的目标之间的学者谁是代表性不足的少数民族（URM）群体成员在工程。
