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

PpDei 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)及其各自地区的工程学校网络之间建立东西联盟，提高全国工程学教师的多样性。S的独特之处在于，它计划通过积极利用合作伙伴关系，为职业早期和未来的工程学教授提供有意的专业国内和国际网络，以促进教师队伍的多元化。这些网络旨在增加参与者在工程界的曝光率，将他们留在学院，并推动特别与国家工程院S重大挑战有关的研究合作，并加强工程S国家景观中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，他们分别来自加州大学戴维斯分校(UC Davis)工程学院、工程学院和工程学院。该项目将在马里兰大学巴尔的摩分校(UMBC)、马里兰大学园区分校(UMCP)克拉克工程学院(UMCP)、约翰霍普金斯大学怀廷工程学院和摩根州立大学克拉伦斯·M·米切尔工程学院开展三项活动。/p p该项目将参与三项活动：1)培训：通过参与国家和国际努力，参与者将获得专业发展和协作培训，这些努力将帮助他们提供全球网络，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)就业：相关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，以及协作性的行业访问教授。3)支持：该项目将促进对新的博士后和助理教授的过渡性支持，方法是将学者所在部门的现有工程学教师导师聚集在一起，讨论和制定有助于留住的强有力的支持机制。该项目还将在参与的学者中建立实践社区，帮助准备担任工程学教师。该项目的这一部分旨在促进连接美国境内和整个美国的所有种族和级别的工程学教师的协作网络。/p
