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

DEI PROMISE工程学院（PEI）的目标是通过在加州大学戴维斯分校（UC Davis）和马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校（UMBC）之间建立东西方联盟，以及各自区域内的工程学院网络，提高全国工程学院的多样性。effort& # 39;S的独特之处在于，它计划通过积极利用伙伴关系，为代表性不足的早期职业和未来的工程教授提供有意的国内和国际专业网络，从而促进教师的多样性。这些网络旨在增加参与者[amp；#39;]在工程界的曝光，把他们留在学院，并推动研究合作，特别是与国家工程院有关的合作&amp；#39；’s大挑战，并加强工程领域的工程身份和文化能力&amp；#39；美国国家景观。该项目涉及来自各工程学院的高级研究生、博士后、客座教授和助理教授：加州大学戴维斯分校工程学院；马里兰大学巴尔的摩县分校（UMBC）的工程与信息技术学院、马里兰大学帕克分校（UMCP）的克拉克工程学院、约翰霍普金斯大学的怀廷工程学院和摩根州立大学的克拉伦斯M.米切尔工程学院。1)培训：通过参与国家和国际的努力，参与者将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)安置：参与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式，以及基于行业的合作访问教授。3)支持：本项目将为新博士后和助理教授提供过渡性支持，将学者所在院系的现有工程教师导师聚集在一起，讨论并建立强有力的支持机制，以促进挽留。该项目还将在参与的学者之间建立实践社区，这将有助于为担任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在美国国内和全国范围内的合作网络
