| Abstract: | In 1998 approximately 100 CAREER awardees, NSF staff, and invited speakers from government, industry, and universities assembled at an NSF sponsored two‐day workshop on the “Integration of Engineering Research and Education.” The workshop provided an opportunity for awardees to discuss effective teaching strategies, methods for evaluating educational activities and initiatives, and the linkages between institutional support and the long‐term success of new faculty members. In this educational brief, we discuss how educational practices, mentoring, industrial collaboration, and the role of the institution can affect the long‐term success in developing integrated research and education activities. |
