N1 - Funding Information:
education to facilitate future transformation in the field [1]. A hallmark of the project, funded by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 1263512, has been educating the future leaders and change agents of engineering education about the earlier generations of “pioneers” who preceded them. During the first phase of the project, graduate students and junior faculty (including this session’s organizers) interviewed and authored profiles on more than 40 pioneers identified by relevant communities as significant contributors to the field of engineering education. Now these pioneers’ stories, as told by their profiles, are being disseminated through various means – workshops, classrooms, and online [2-3] – to introduce new members to the engineering education community and to educate those unaware of its evolution and history. Positive outcomes among those who have engaged with the profiles, as either interviewers or readers, include an increased sense of belonging in the engineering education community, increased reflection on their own career trajectories, plans, and expectations, and increased curiosity about issues in engineering education [4].

N2 - This panel session combines principles from graduate student socialization and intergenerational mentorship to provide a unique opportunity for early career scholars and pioneers in engineering education to interact face-to-face. Pioneers will serve as panelists and give their personal tips and reflections on networking and mentorship. Session attendees will then meet with the pioneers in a roundtable format, to ask questions, seek advice, and get feedback. This work builds on the National Science Foundation-funded Engineering Education Pioneers Project, which documented the stories of more than 40 engineering education pioneers through online profiles. The intended audience for this panel includes graduate students, junior faculty, and other individuals interested in the engineering education community. Expected benefits include better understanding, increased belonging, and new or enhanced interest in engineering education. Future efforts associated with this session include understanding the impact of such exposure to the pioneers on attendees and exploring the possibility of offering this event at future engineering education conferences.
