Faculty in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines face intensifying pressures in the 21st century, including multiple roles as educator, researcher, and entrepreneur. They typically teach at both the undergraduate and graduate level. They write proposals and secure funding to support students at multiple levels. They mentor undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral scholars. They present and publish their research outcomes in highly rigorous outlets. They are expected to communicate their research to a broad array of audiences such as the scientific community, undergraduate and graduate students, K-12 students and educators, and the general public. Societal needs of their expertise include discovery, innovation, and workforce development. It is critical to provide STEM faculty with the professional development to support their complex roles and to base this development on evidence derived from research. Much research has been focused on STEM faculty development in support of teaching and student-centered learning with less attention on the other aspects of the professoriate in the 21st century. Therefore, the proposed workshop will bring together participants who are scholars, practitioners, policy-makers, industrial partners, and thought-leaders to assemble a research agenda on faculty development focused on the STEM disciplines. In this project a group of 30 experts will convene at Clemson University for a 1 1/2 day workshop. These experts will participate in a combination of plenary sessions and small group activities to identify the outstanding research questions associated with faculty development and craft a research agenda. The primary outcome of the workshop will be a set of effective STEM faculty development characteristics that can be implemented based on the outcomes of the workshop and explored in future projects. The findings and final report from the workshop will be disseminated through a project website, a collective blog, and presentations at conferences. Widespread dissemination of the report will spur new research on how to best support faculty in their role as educators of future engineers.

科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科的教师面临着21世纪的加剧压力，包括担任教育者，研究人员和企业家的多个角色。他们通常在本科和研究生层面教书。 他们撰写建议并获得资金，以支持多个级别的学生。 他们指导本科，毕业生和博士后学者。他们在高度严格的渠道中介绍并发布了他们的研究成果。预计他们将把他们的研究传达给许多观众，例如科学界，本科生和研究生，K-12学生和教育工作者以及公众。他们专业知识的社会需求包括发现，创新和劳动力发展。 为STEM教师提供专业发展，以支持其复杂的角色并将这一发展基于研究的证据，这一点至关重要。许多研究集中在STEM教师的发展上，以支持教学和以学生为中心的学习，而对21世纪教授的其他方面的关注较少。因此，拟议的研讨会将召集参与者，包括学者，从业人员，政策制定者，工业伙伴和思想领袖，以汇集有关教师发展的研究议程，这些议程专注于STEM学科。在这个项目中，由30名专家组成的小组将在克莱姆森大学（Clemson University）举行1 1/2天的研讨会。这些专家将参加全体会议和小组活动的组合，以确定与教师发展和制定研究议程相关的杰出研究问题。研讨会的主要结果将是一组有效的STEM教师发展特征，可以根据研讨会的成果来实施，并在未来的项目中进行探索。研讨会的发现和最终报告将通过项目网站，集体博客以及会议上的演讲来传播。该报告的广泛传播将刺激有关如何为他们作为未来工程师的教育者的角色提供最佳支持的新研究。
