to be, his passion has always been more on the teachingside. One of Jon’s job prospects that was very interesting to him was in Philadelphia. Thoughthis job was not directly related to his field of study, it was an opportunity to use his skill set in adifferent area. When he contacted a graduate student colleague of both Jon and Chris about lifein Philadelphia, that connection proved to be invaluable. He noted his department had a jobposting for a teaching faculty member. This was Chris’s dream job. In the end, Chris left histenure track position for a non-tenure track teaching faculty position and Jon left his researchcareer for a career in software, which has been an underlying passion of his. Patience andflexibility ultimately led to

An examination of students’ perceptions of instructional environmentsAbstractTo provide significant learning experiences for undergraduate engineering students, educatorshave resources in the literature, colleagues, and personal experiences to supplement their coursedesign process. This study aims to capture the stories of graduate students who are looking backat their undergraduate experiences and describing the features that made a specific courseparticularly impactful. Specifically, the goal of this study was to explore the educationalphilosophies enacted in the most impactful

can be developed such as increasing the importance of teaching in tenure criteria andproviding additional (internal) research dollars for those with high-marks in their teachingevaluations. Indeed, internal seed money for educational research may be the right catalyst toencourage a faculty member to explore an educational research topic (as opposed to submitting a Page 26.1596.6proposal to DUE of NSF as their initial foray into the educational research arena).Another interesting option might be the introduction of more flexible career paths that allowfaculty members at certain career stages to choose between a research-focused track, a

, function to privilege and perpetuate certainunderstandings of the field. Autoethnographic techniques are used to construct three accounts ofthe student’s encounters with an upper level administrator, various members of faculty, and anacademic advisor. Critical analysis of these experiences using a prior evidence-based model ofstories ‘told’ about engineering in the public discourse reveals tensions between the freshmanstudent’s values and career interests and the emergent, dominant discourse he observed in hisundergraduate program. These tensions are described in terms of: i) The prioritization of nationaleconomic recovery and growth over the life and career goals of individuals; ii) A predominantfocus on the quantitative and technical aspects of

To meet increasing societal demands, civil engineers are required to be effectivemaster builders, skillful stewards of the environment, innovators, managers of risk, and leadersof public policy1,2. These characteristics are especially relevant to graduates entering careers inengineering. Effective application of well-constructed scholarship of instruction techniques inhigher education curriculum, play a valuable role in preparing engineering graduates to meet thehigh calling of these demands.
