National GEM Consortium-American Society for Engineering Education Doctoral Research Showcase

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名博士生、博士后和首次上任14个月内的新教员。参与者将参与一整天的互动分组会议，致力于(a)推进研究项目和管理研究企业，(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。参与者将根据NSF工程（ENG）和计算机与信息科学与工程（CISE）部门的名称，在海报会议上展示他们的工程、计算和跨学科研究。与海报会议相结合的是一个“机构/大学博览会”，来自联邦研究机构的代表可能希望支持参与者的研究的延续或扩展，以及来自正在招聘教师的大学的代表。在展览结束后，与会者将被问及展览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/大学展览对他们的专业就业和研究支持前景的影响。此外，参与机构/大学将被问及展示在推进其参与目标方面的有效性。一份影响总结报告将分发给工程和工程技术系主任和主席。该项目为工程博士研究生、博士后研究员和新教师提供了成功履行学术职责所需的培训和资源。此外，本计划将协助参与者建立专业成功和个人支持的网络，向他们介绍研究支持的来源，并为博士生和博士后提供学术就业的潜在途径。这个项目的直接影响是，多达200名未来和现在的工程学院，占目前少数族裔工程学院人数的12%，将为他们的教授角色做好更好的准备。此外，参与者将获得一个快速起步，以确保研究支持，这将维持对其领域的智力贡献的职业生涯。这项活动可能产生的更广泛的影响包括提高新工程学院的保留率和研究竞争力，特别是那些来自代表性不足的少数民族的学院。由此产生的工程本科生中更多样化的角色榜样的增加以及工程学院中更多样化的观点有望增加本科生的坚持。

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.
