This training program focused on advancing early-career engineering faculty from groups underrepresented in STEM by strengthening mentorship, fostering inclusive professional development, and driving equity-focused institutional change. Through a collaborative alliance of three world-class universities, participants gained structured support, leadership skills, access to skilled mentors and sponsors, and opportunities for SEED-funded collaborations. The program also connected faculty to a wider AGEP network, creating a sustained community of practice dedicated to transforming engineering academia into a more inclusive and equitable environment for all.
