It is that season again, where NSF-CAREER awards are being announced left right and center. In my world, there are three in particular to celebrate:
- Dr. Julie Trenor, assistant professor in the Department of Science and Engineering Education at Clemson University, whose grant is titled "Influence of Social Capital on Under-Represented Engineering Students' Academic and Career Decisions"
- Dr. Demetra Evangelou, assistant professor in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University, whose grant is titled "Developmental Engineering: An Examination of Early Learning Experiences as Antecedents of Engineering Education"; and
- Dr. Debbie Chachra, assistant professor of Materials Science at Olin College, whose grant is titled "Exploring the Relationship Between Self-Efficacy and Project-Based Learning Among Engineering Students.
Awesome job, women!

Thanks for this post because I feel like I am not celebrating it enough. It is much easier to worry about publishing, but this is something to celebrate.
Congrats Megan, Debbie, Julie, Demetra and everyone else who received a career award. You are inspiring!
