ASEE Conference 2018

In 2018, the SFDC team traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah to lead a mini workshop and to share the latest version of the national research agenda for holistic STEM faculty development with engineering educators. You can learn more about the work presented at this event on the Workshops page, see the findings summary handouts they presented on the National Research Agenda page.

ASEE Conference 2017

In 2017, the SFDC team traveled to Columbus, Ohio to share the work from the How Many Hats Do You Wear SFDC workshop with engineering educators. The team created this conference paper below to outline all of the details behind the design of the event along with how the data informing the national research agenda was generated. They also presented a poster on this event which you can view and download!

How Many Hats Do You Wear: Building Research Capacity for STEM Faculty Development Workshop

Abstract: Expectations for faculty members in the 21st century are high: Early career STEM faculty are expected to establish a sustainable research trajectory, a teaching practice, and a leadership role all while pursuing tenure success. Many colleges and universities have established faculty development programs, but there remains a deficiency in holistic professional support that integrates these disparate professional activities and aligns them with desired individual and institutional goals, especially for faculty in STEM.  This paper will summarize an NSF funded workshop (NSF grant #EEC-1638888) designed to bring together multiple stakeholders in academia, government, and industry to begin to establish a research agenda for holistic STEM faculty development. This workshop was held February 17-18, 2017.

Special session: STEM faculty development research agenda 

Abstract: Expectations for faculty members are high: STEM faculty are expected to establish a sustainable research trajectory, a teaching practice, and a service/leadership role all while pursuing tenure and promotion success. Although many colleges and universities have established STEM faculty development programs, a deficiency in holistic professional support remains, specifically in the integration and alignment of these disparate professional activities with individual and institutional goals. This session will involve participants to continue the work undertaken to bring together multiple stakeholders in academia, government, and industry to establish a research agenda for STEM faculty development. The audience includes those interested in furthering this research agenda.
