Working in collaboration with the National GEM Consortium, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) is hosting the GEM-ASEE Doctoral Engineering Research Showcase from January 22-23, 2018 in Washington, DC. The target audiences include 200 doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and new faculty within fourteen months of their first appointment. Participants are engaging in a full day of interactive breakout sessions devoted to (a) advancing a research program and managing the research enterprise, (b) innovations in teaching and the promotion of learning, (c) professional service opportunities, and (d) maintaining a work-life balance. Participants are presenting their engineering, computing, and interdisciplinary research in a poster session categorized based on division names within the NSF Engineering (ENG) and Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) directorates. Combined with the poster session will be an "Agency/University Fair" that features representatives from federal research agencies who might wish to support continuation or extension of the participants' research as well as representatives from universities that are seeking faculty hires.Following the showcase, participants will be queried about the impact of the showcase on their knowledge and proficiency with various faculty tasks as well as the impact of the Agency/University Fair on their professional employment and research support prospects. In addition, participating agencies/universities will be queried as to the effectiveness of the showcase in advancing their objectives for participating. A summary impact report will be distributed to engineering and engineering technology deans and chairs.This project exposes engineering doctoral students, postdoctoral fellows, and new faculty to the training and resources required for successful performance of academic duties. Furthermore, this project will assist participants in building networks for professional success and personal support, introducing them to sources of research support, and, for the doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, potential avenues of academic employment. The immediate impact of this project is that up to 200 future and current engineering faculty, representing twelve percent of the current number of underrepresented minority engineering faculty, will be better prepared for their roles in the professoriate. Moreover, participants will gain a jumpstart on securing the research support that will sustain a career of intellectual contributions to their fields. The potential broader impacts of this activity include the enhanced retention and research competitiveness of new engineering faculty, particularly those drawn from underrepresented minority populations. The resultant increase in more diverse role models for engineering undergraduates and more diverse viewpoints in engineering faculty is expected to increase undergraduate persistence.

美国工程教育学会(ASEE)与国家GEM联盟合作，将于2018年1月22日至23日在华盛顿特区举办GEM-ASEE博士工程研究展示会。目标受众包括200名博士后学生、博士后研究员和首次受聘后14个月内的新教师。参与者将参加一整天的互动分组会议，致力于(A)推进研究计划和管理研究企业，(B)教学创新和促进学习，(C)专业服务机会，以及(D)保持工作与生活的平衡。与会者在一个海报会议上展示了他们的工程、计算和跨学科研究，该会议根据NSF Engineering(ENG)和Computer and Information Science and Engineering(CEISE)目录内的部门名称进行分类。与海报环节相结合的是“机构/大学博览会”，其中包括可能希望支持参与者继续或延长研究的联邦研究机构的代表，以及正在寻求聘用教师的大学的代表。在展示之后，参与者将被问及展示对他们的知识和对各种教师任务的熟练程度的影响，以及机构/大学博览会对他们的专业就业和研究支持前景的影响。此外，参与机构/大学将被问及展示会在推进其参与目标方面的成效。将向工程和工程技术院长和主席分发一份总结影响报告。该项目向工程学博士后学生、博士后研究员和新教师提供成功履行学术职责所需的培训和资源。此外，该项目将帮助参与者建立专业成功和个人支持网络，向他们介绍研究支持的来源，并为博士生和博士后研究员介绍可能的学术就业途径。该项目的直接影响是，多达200名未来和现有的工程学教员，占目前人数不足的少数族裔工程学教员数量的12%，将为他们在教授中的角色做好更好的准备。此外，参与者将在获得研究支持方面获得跳跃，这将支持他们在各自领域做出智力贡献的职业生涯。这项活动的潜在更广泛影响包括加强新的工程学教员的留任和研究竞争力，特别是那些从代表性不足的少数族裔人口中抽调出来的教员。随之而来的是，工科本科生的榜样更加多样化，工程学教师的观点更加多样化，预计将增强本科生的坚持不懈。
