Pathways to the Engineering Professoriate: Tools and Tactics for the Academic Job Market (Seminar for Graduate Students)

Conference/Seminar

Are you considering a career in academia after completing your graduate degree? This seminar will provide a comprehensive overview of the academic job landscape, including the range of faculty positions at research-intensive universities, teaching-focused institutions, and community colleges. We’ll cover the key application materials – such as CVs, research statements, teaching philosophies, and diversity statements – and offer strategies for tailoring them to different institutions. Whether you’re planning to go on the academic job market this year or are simply exploring future options, this session will equip you with the tools and insights needed to navigate the academic job market with confidence.
Key Topics Covered: (1) where to search for and find academic job announcements, (2) the types of academic jobs most common for post-graduates to pursue, (3) timeline of the job search process, (4) documents needed to submit in the application, (5) references, (6) high-level tips for job talks, and (7) resources.

Enhancing Engineering Students' Problem-Solving through Metacognition and Self-Regulation

Conference/Seminar

Problem-solving in engineering is widely recognized as one of the most challenging skills to teach and learn. Success relies heavily on students’ understanding of the problem-solving task (metacognitive knowledge about tasks) and their ability to self-regulate through monitoring and evaluation strategies. This interactive workshop draws on research with undergraduate engineering and mathematics students, which identified seven distinct learning episodes that illustrate the interplay between task understanding, self-regulation, and performance. The workshop consists of two complementary parts. The first part, “Understanding the Problem-Solving Task,” invites participants to explore these seven learning episodes, reflect on student approaches, and identify instructional strategies tailored to each scenario. The second part, “Designing Instructional Strategies for Adaptive Problem- Solving,” focuses on hands-on application, engaging attendees in activities and case discussions to develop and refine instructional practices that enhance metacognitive awareness and self-regulation. Participants will leave with both a research-informed conceptual framework and practical tools.
