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

PP的目标是DEI Promise工程学院（PEI）的目标是通过在加利福尼亚大学，戴维斯大学（UC Davis）和马里兰州巴尔的摩县（UMBC）之间建立一个东西方联盟，以改善全国工程学院的多样性，以及他们在各自地区的工程网络。这项努力的独特性在于其计划通过积极利用合作伙伴关系来促进教师多样性的计划，以提供代表性不足的早期职业和未来工程教授，并有意专业的国家和国际网络。这些网络旨在增加参与者＆＃39;工程社区内的接触，将其保留在学院中，并推动与国家工程学院的宏伟挑战有关的研究合作，并加强工程学的国家景观中的工程认同和文化能力。该项目涉及高级研究生，博士后研究员，访问教授以及来自每所工程学校和学院的助理教授：加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校（加州大学戴维斯大学）工程学院；马里兰州巴尔的摩县（UMBC），马里兰州大学公园（UMCP）的克拉克工程学院（UMCP），约翰·霍普金斯大学的惠廷工程学院的克拉克工程学院，克拉伦斯·M·米切尔·米切尔工程学院的摩根州立大学将与国际培训：1：1）参与专业培训：1）他们使用全球网络，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：相关机构将合作开发新的机会，以吸引多样化的学者，例如终止轨道转换模型，以及基于行业的访问教授职位。 3）支持：该项目将通过将当前的工程教师导师汇集到所在的学者，讨论和开发有助于保留的强大支持机制，从而促进对新的博士后和助理教授的过渡支持。该项目还将在参与学者的学者中建立实践社区，这将有助于为工程师的角色做准备。该项目的这一部分旨在促进来自美国内部和整个美国各个种族和等级的工程学院协作网络。/P
