A group of 25 PhD students and postdocs in engineering or relevant disciplines at U.S. exploration universities have been picked as Fellows to take part in a three-working day expert enhancement workshop that will get ready them to safe a placement as a future engineering faculty and prosper in that job. TBE Fellows are selected not only for their remarkable scholarly achievements but also for their opportunity effects in expanding representation and variety in engineering.
