introducing them to the three main aspects of academia: research, teaching, and university administration. Admission
to the program was based on evidence of success in research as well as passion for teaching. PPIT has three main
components: (i) a graduate course on engineering teaching and learning, (ii) core seminars, and (iii) elective seminars
on teaching and learning.

I initiated and continue to organize, present at, and invite speakers for the Seminar Series on Academic Job Search.
The Series is designed to help increase the placement of our graduates in academic positions by introducing them to
the mechanics of the job search process. The series consists of four one-hour talks that share the perspective of different
stakeholders in the process. The primary target audience are third-year and later PhD students as well as postdoctoral
fellows in the College of Engineering and Architecture. The Series is sponsored by the Energy Systems Innovation
Center, Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture, and School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
