ppThe objective of the DEI PROMISE Engineering Institute (PEI) is to improve the diversity of engineering faculty nationwide by building an east-west alliance between the University California, Davis (UC Davis) and the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), along with their networks of engineering schools within their respective regions. 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 involved engineering schools and colleges: The College of Engineering at University of California, Davis (UC Davis); 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./p pThe project will engage in three activities: 1) 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. 2) Placement: The involved institutions 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. 3) 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 the United States./p

ppThe DEI PROMISE工程学院（PEI）的目标是通过建立大学加州戴维斯分校（UC Davis）和马里兰州巴尔的摩县大学（UMBC）之间的东西联盟，沿着各自地区的工程学校网络，提高全国工程教师的多样性。努力'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，保留他们在学院，并推动研究合作，特别是与工程'的大挑战的国家科学院，并加强工程#39;的国家景观内的工程身份和文化能力&。该项目涉及高级研究生，博士后研究员，客座教授和助理教授从每个参与工程学校和学院：工程学院在加州大学戴维斯分校（加州大学戴维斯分校）;工程学院&在马里兰州巴尔的摩县（UMBC），工程学院在马里兰州大学公园（UMCP）的克拉克学院，约翰霍普金斯大学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。p p该项目将开展三项活动：1）培训：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。2)位置：参与的机构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型，以及基于行业的合作访问教授职位。3)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来自所有种族和等级的工程学院的协作网络，这些网络在美国境内和美国各地连接。p
