The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities Office of Access and Success is hosting an engineering faculty workshop in conjunction with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund 2019 Opportunity Funding Corporation Innovation and Entrepreneurship Program in Charlotte, North Carolina, May 20-21, 2019. Increasing the number of underrepresented groups earning engineering degrees is critical to the nation's economic competitiveness and national security because of major demographic shifts on the near horizon. Research has shown that faculty mentoring, role models and overall experience play a critical role in the success of students from underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering and math. Historically Black Colleges and Universities provide a unique environment for African American students because of the presence of a critical mass of students from similar backgrounds and a more diverse faculty. The goal of the workshop is to assist Historically Black College and University faculty members in becoming more effective and strategic educators, mentors, advisors, and researchers. Providing faculty with innovative pedagogy, mentoring and advising strategies will positively impact the retention and graduation of their students. Simultaneously, the faculty will improve their research capacity by developing effective research grant writing strategies. Faculty participating in the Historically Black College and University Engineering Faculty Workshop will (1) develop action plans aimed at improving student learning and increasing student retention and graduation rates, (2) identify tools and strategies needed to develop grant proposals and to compete effectively in national grant solicitations, and (3) develop a research grant proposal outline. The goals of the workshop are to increase student learning and retention while building the faculty member's capacity for research and education through successful grant writing. Another aim of the workshop is to establish a national network of Historically Black College and University faculty collaborating to implement high impact and innovative pedagogical practices in engineering education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

访问和成功的公立和赠地大学办公室的协会主办工程教师研讨会与瑟古德马歇尔学院基金2019年机会资助公司创新和创业计划在夏洛特，北卡罗来纳州，2019年5月20日至21日。增加获得工程学位的代表性不足的群体的数量对国家的经济竞争力和国家安全至关重要，因为近期人口结构将发生重大变化。研究表明，教师的指导，榜样和整体经验发挥了关键作用，在科学，技术，工程和math.Historically黑人学院和大学的代表性不足的群体的学生的成功提供了一个独特的环境，为非洲裔美国学生，因为来自类似背景的学生和更多样化的教师的临界质量的存在。该研讨会的目标是帮助历史上的黑人学院和大学的教师成为更有效和战略的教育工作者，导师，顾问和研究人员。为教师提供创新的教学方法，指导和建议策略将积极影响学生的保留和毕业。同时，教师将通过制定有效的研究资助写作策略来提高他们的研究能力。教师参加历史上的黑人学院和大学工程学院研讨会将（1）制定旨在改善学生学习和提高学生保留率和毕业率的行动计划，（2）确定开发赠款提案所需的工具和策略，并在国家赠款招标中有效竞争，以及（3）制定研究赠款提案大纲。研讨会的目标是增加学生的学习和保留，同时通过成功的赠款写作建立教师的研究和教育能力。该研讨会的另一个目的是建立一个全国性的黑人学院和大学教师合作网络，在工程教育中实施高影响力和创新的教学实践。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
