Description of the studyThe research methodology was a case study involving a four-day faculty development workshopheld at the University of Idaho from May 31 to June 3, 2005. The workshop was attended byapproximately 32 faculty members and 3 graduate students. Participants came from three re-gional schools: University of Idaho, Washington State University, and Lewis-Clark State Col-lege.

Although undergraduates maydevelop meaningful relationships with a few key faculty members, those faculty have littleinfluence over student completion of degree requirements.At the graduate level, contact with faculty is more intense and relevant to degree completion. Afaculty member serves as the supervisory chair, helps students develop their own researchagendas, and provides critical introductions to the discipline. Much of a student’s professionaldevelopment and career trajectory depend on positive relationships with faculty in theirdepartment. While graduate students are required to take

. For example, an educationalinstitution may routinely recruit junior engineering faculty from a core group of researchuniversities that produce good numbers of qualified graduates whose research interests align wellwith the research programs of the hiring university. But if the research universities in that coregroup have a poor record of graduating female Ph.D.s in engineering, then the hiring institutionshould either broaden its recruiting activities to encompass more female-friendly graduateprograms or risk a Title IX violation. As with students, an educational institution may not useemployment tests or other criteria that have a disproportionately adverse effect on members ofone gender, unless such tests or other criteria validly predict

This ensures specific experiences but in a sense the team is less empowered.One way to avoid this risk is to leave the design decision-making to the students. Then, theadvisor’s role can be to support the project planning and technical development (as a consultant).How best to have an advisor involved in the project?
