This study occurs at aregional university within an Industrial and Engineering Technology department that hasexclusive use of a building. The department contains seven degree programs ranging from TAC-ABET programs to non-accredited technical degree programs. During the study period allclasses and laboratories were scheduled Monday through Thursday. Staff only worked Mondaythrough Thursday. Faculty but not students could gain access to the building on Fridays.The objective of this paper is to study the costs, benefits, and educational impacts of changingthe five day academic and building

This can be veryfrustrating as these individuals see themselves as highly-intelligent, well-accomplished peoplewho understand the material that they are attempting to teach to students—often undergraduatestudents. When the teaching struggles result in (a) poor teaching evaluations by the students or(b) a significant reduction of time spent developing his or her research program, the teachingproblems can reduce the chances of the faculty member gaining tenure.
