Session Description

We propose a hybrid, highly interactive panel with audience activation activities designed to equip new engineering educators with practical steps for pursuing educational scholarship and external funding, while drawing on the lived experience of colleagues who have successfully secured grants. The session will highlight the Collabo-Gleaning Framework, which will be featured in the December 2025 edition of the Prism magazine. Collabo-Gleaning is a capacity-building model that treats relationship-building, idea refinement, and small actions as success on the way to winning awards. The session will ... (continued)
