2. CALL FOR SURVEY PARTICIPANTS
Why do you remain in your current academic position?
A study funded by researchers from The Ohio State University, Purdue University, and Vanderbilt University wants to answer this question. We are seeking tenure-track and tenured faculty to participate in our study funded by the National Science Foundation (#1535327, #1712618) that focuses on the persistence of engineering faculty.
Your participation in a 30-minute survey will examine your career choices, your reflections of the profession at-large, and barriers and opportunities associated with being a faculty member. Participants will be entered into a drawing to win one of 100 $20 online Amazon gift cards. Your participation is voluntary, and you can withdraw from this study at any time.
Please click on the following link to complete the survey: https://osu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eyAfCVaYQeyCHRP

3. FOR YOUR STUDENTS: UNDERGRADUATE SUMMER RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
The Solar and Alternative Technologies (SALT) research experience is a 10-week summer research program at the University of Tulsa providing undergraduate students with the opportunity to research and develop exciting alternative energy technologies such as fuel, catalysts, power, energy reservoirs, clean water and plastics from renewable sources or using renewable energy, thereby reducing the world’s dependence on fossil fuels. Students working on SALT projects will learn analytical techniques, responsible conduct and environmental ethics, as well as communication and social media skills through oral and written reports. SALT research will include fascinating technologies such as microalgal biofuel and biocatalysts.
As SALT researchers, students will get a taste of graduate level research, acquire important skills under the mentorship of experienced TU Faculty, see alternative energies in action during field trips and contribute to building a better world through renewable energy. Room, a subsistence stipend for food, and a $500/week traineeship are included. Applications are due March 8. Please see our website for more information: engineering.utulsa.edu/salt/

4. CHE EDUCATION PODCAST
If you enjoy podcasts, AIChE Ed. Div. members Dr. Matt Cooper (NC State) and Dr. Jason Bara (U. Alabama) have launched a new podcast called "In the (Fume) Hood" which focuses on ChE education and other fun topics. New ITFH episodes are available each week on podcast apps including Apple Podcasts and Google Play, or via SoundCloud at this link.
