PEER Collaborative: A National Workshop

这个工程教育研究项目将支持一个研讨会，以创建同行网络之间的终身教职员工谁是追求职业生涯中的工程教育研究。 由于许多从事工程教育研究的教师都受聘于所有或大部分教师从事特定学科工程研究的部门，因此之前的研究表明，这些教师在长期职业成功方面面临着多项挑战。 同行和导师的关系，将由本次研讨会建立预计将提供指导，如何提高教师的成功，从而保留他们在工程教育研究。这个项目更广泛的意义和重要性将是在从事工程教育研究的教师中建立同行指导网络。 通过分享成功策略，这些网络可以使工程教师取得更大的成功，特别是那些在没有建立工程教育计划或教师和工程教育管理专业知识的机构。 PI已经解决了如何在NSF资助终止后维持该研讨会建立的网络。

This engineering education research project will support a workshop to create peer networks among pre-tenure faculty who are pursuing careers in engineering education research. Because many faculty who do research in engineering education are hired in departments where all or most of the faculty pursue discipline-specific engineering research, previous research has shown these faculty face several challenges in long-term career success. The peer and mentoring relationships that will be established by this workshop are anticipated to provide guidance on how to increase the success of faculty and thus retain them in engineering education research. The broader significance and importance of this project will be to build peer mentoring networks among faculty engaged in engineering education research. By sharing success strategies, these networks can lead to greater success of engineering faculty members, particularly those at institutions without established engineering education programs or faculty and administrative expertise in engineering education. The PIs have addressed how the network established by this workshop can be sustained following termination of NSF funding.
