This year, we are inaugurating a SE T/TT Faculty Interest Group workshop the day before CSER. We want to create a community that brings together junior and senior faculty in tenure/tenure-track positions with an interest in systems engineering research and education, who may generally be somewhat “isolated” in traditional engineering departments. We hope to facilitate mentoring opportunities, collaborations, support, and, in general, just a group of colleagues.
The CSER workshop will consist of three sessions:
- A network session where junior faculty can meet senior faculty and get introduced into the community.
- Mentoring sessions to help the job.
- A tutorial on aspects that may be relevant to SE research and/or education.
The agenda for the inaugural workshop at CSER 2024 is:
| Time | Session | Track 1 | Track 2 |
| 8-9am | Networking | Who’s who? “Speed-dating” between untenured and tenured faculty | |
