isnecessary. First, both Phil and Andy are mechanical engineering faculty with a main area ofinterest in thermal/fluids. We both very much enjoy teaching and working in thermodynamics,fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and power generation within this discipline. The specific coursesthat we have taught in common are thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, thermal fluids laboratory,viscous flow, and turbulence. Outside of academics, we both enjoy being adult leaders in theBoy Scouts of America and have each served as Scoutmaster. We enjoy history; specifically, Page 14.399.5our interests overlap in American history and the history of science and engineering

facultymembers would be an efficient way of achieving the goals of both participants. Facultymembers are required to publish in their area of research while effectively teaching classes. Newfaculty members find it especially challenging to meet these demands. It is common foracademic librarians to be assigned as a liaison between the library and faculty. Librarians have avested interest in seeing these faculty members succeed as researchers and teachers. They havethe responsibility to see that the information needs of the faculty and students in their assignedsubject areas are met. Meeting the information needs of faculty members enables them tosuccessfully perform their research. Meeting the information needs of students can enhance theirlearning

successful university-based researchprogram, the faculty member needs to look at their role as more of a research entrepreneur rathertha n the focused researcher that would be found in an industrial research laboratory. A successfulresearch enterprise will require the faculty member to; 1) create the vision and direction of theresearch enterprise, 2) manage a large group of stude nts and professional staff, 3) bring infunding to support the enterprise, 4) produce academic products and services, and 5) market theacademic products to both industry and their professional community. All of these activities arevery similar to a young entrepreneur trying to start a new business, only in this case, the productsare new ideas to be sold in the academic

Technology and Associated Pedagogy in the Classroom: Related to 1. And 2. is increasing use of technology within the classroom. Although technology has always been a part of laboratory courses, only recently has it begin to compete with chalk and marker boards in lectures. Although offering advantages, there are disadvantages to slides, projectors, smart boards, web sites, distance learning, etc. when it comes to the discipline, effectiveness, and convenience of learning (and teaching). Chalk and marker boards may be “low-tech.”, but they rarely lock-up
