, reviews assessment data for eachelement, and offers recommendations to engineering schools wishing to establish their ownprograms for new and future faculty members.I. IntroductionThe default preparation for a faculty career is none at all. Graduate students may get sometraining on tutoring, grading papers, the importance of laboratory safety, and the undesirability ofsexual harassment, and new faculty members may hear about their benefit options, theimportance of laboratory safety, and the undesirability of sexual harassment, but that’s about itfor academic career preparation at most universities. This is an unhealthy state of affairs. Being a college professor requires doing a numberof things that graduate school does not teach you to do

. Then new teams, inwhich each team member had expertise regarding a different learning activity, were formed andcharged to rank the five activities from least- to best-aligned with formal cooperative learningprinciples. In a separate learning activity, student teams postulated the values and philosophy ofan engineering instructor who incorporates cooperative learning in his/her classes.Student teaching and research philosophies and their elevator speeches went through at least oneiteration cycle, with students receiving feedback from classmates, the course instructors, and, inthe case of the teaching philosophies, peers from the Laboratory for User-Centered EngineeringEducation (LUCEE8) at the University of Washington (LUCEE is devoted to

ways.For the field of engineering education, there has not been an embracement in the use of onlineeducation. Following an extensive review of engineering online programs, Bourne, Harris, &Mayadas31-32 found that a large number of them were available for master’s level, but there werefew bachelor’s degrees. A reason often noted to not developing engineering courses online is thechallenge of replicating hands-on laboratories over the internet, even though a great deal ofmodule development has been done in this area31-32. For these same engineering educationresearchers, they recommend that field of engineering learn more about methods for blendedlearning (in-class and online), different pedagogies for teaching and learning in onlineengineering

The activitiesin the cross-curricular program included: a) learning about portfolios in general, b) evaluatingother portfolios, c) writing a professional statement, d) finding artifacts, e) deciding whichartifacts to include in the portfolio, f) writing annotations for the artifacts, g) getting peer andprofessional feedback, and h) presenting the portfolio to others. The interaction amongst peersand the teaching faculty member provided ample opportunity to deeply explore the issuesstudents faced, the component activities, and how those issues and activities interacted during theportfolio creation.Six students participated in this study.
