Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: advanced (Level 4)(based on Doctoral Research)

  • Departmental or program-level research agenda — define and champion, aligning faculty scholarship with institutional priorities and national engineering workforce needs.
  • Junior faculty and postdoctoral researchers — mentor in pedagogy, grant writing, and scholarly publication to accelerate their professional growth within the engineering academy.
  • Large-scale, multi-investigator grant programs — lead as principal investigator or center director, coordinating complex budgets and federal agency relationships over multi-year awards.
  • Engineering program accreditation processes — direct institution-wide, ensuring curriculum, assessment, and faculty qualifications satisfy ABET and regional accreditation standards.
  • Strategic curriculum transformation initiatives — spearhead across degree programs, incorporating systems analysis, emerging computation, and inclusive pedagogy at an organizational scale.
  • University–industry advisory boards and professional engineering societies — represent the institution, shaping standards and policy at regional and national levels.
  • Cross-college interdisciplinary research centers — establish and lead, marshaling resources, faculty expertise, and external partnerships to address grand engineering challenges.
  • Engineering education innovation — generate and disseminate at scale, authoring books or widely adopted frameworks that influence teaching practice across peer institutions.
  • Departmental faculty hiring, tenure review, and performance evaluation — lead with integrity and evidence-based criteria, building a high-achieving and diverse academic workforce.
  • Complex organizational decisions regarding resource allocation, laboratory infrastructure, and program development — exercise expert judgment that shapes the long-term direction of the engineering school.
