As we collectively reflect on the sustainability of the AMPLIFY project, we are offering three unique professional development opportunities for our AMPLIFY fellows. These opportunities are designed to continue the amplification of your work, gain feedback from your colleagues, and receive additional funding to support your local and nationwide efforts in engineering education leadership. We invite AMPLIFY fellows to participate in the following:

• Individual Reflection: The first professional development opportunity involves an individual reflection and retrospective look at your progress and the impact of the AMPLIFY project. (Due April 16, 2025)
• Participation in AMPLIFY Showcase: This professional development opportunity invites you to showcase your work and ideas through an extended abstract and presentation at a virtual event this Spring semester. The virtual event is centered around gaining recognition for your efforts and seeking input from the community to support your growth.
• Participation in 2025 ASEE Conference Special Session: The final professional development opportunity invites AMPLIFY Showcase participants to contribute to a special in-person session at this year’s annual ASEE conference, taking place June 22–25 in Montreal.

Start Reflection

Individual Reflection

This individual reflection aims to understand and celebrate your unique journey through the AMPLIFY Project. While we ask about your project's progress, our primary goal is to reflect, learn and amplify your experiences. There are no "right" answers or expectations about project completion. For your reference, a copy of the survey questions can be found here.

AMPLIFY Showcase 

The 2025 AMPLIFY Showcase, is a virtual opportunity where engineering instructional faculty from across the country come together to share and celebrate their innovative educational leadership projects at Hispanic Serving Institutions. This multi-week, virtual professional development opportunity provides a platform for professional growth and marks a celebratory conclusion of the AMPLIFY Project and Institute.

To join the AMPLIFY Showcase, AMPLIFY fellows will:

• Complete the reflection survey and select a date to showcase. 
• Submit an extended abstract documenting your ongoing educational innovations (4-page limit) by the assigned showcase schedule date.
• Lead a 10-minute presentation of your extended abstract, with 10 minutes assigned for a breakout discussion, peer-feedback and questions with AMPLIFY fellows, and institute facilitators.
