Noe 12believes that the career management process involves career exploration, development of careergoals, and use of career strategies to reach the goals, and studies the relationship betweendifferent aspects of the career management process and employee development behavior andperformance. Sorcinelli, et al. address the top challenges facing faculty members, institutions,and faculty development programs 13. Greenhaus, et al. examine the conditions under whichcareer goal-setting contributes to effective career management 14. We posit that

intent(both in this paper and in the program we describe) to elevate the academy’s understanding ofthe value of teaching faculty, to promote inclusivity, and to provide encouragement to teachingfaculty themselves.Literature ReviewThe proportion of teaching faculty at U.S. universities has been increasing steadily since the1970s.2 In 2013, at doctoral universities, teaching faculty represented just over half (52.9%) ofthe faculty workforce, up nearly five percent from 2005.3 Although in 2013 over half of thoseteaching faculty were part-time, more recent trends in 2015 indicate a shift toward hiring morefull-time teaching faculty.4Teaching faculty are not heterogeneous in type of job responsibilities or career aspirations.

Undergraduate GPA and GRE scores, asadmissions criteria, further clouded the discussion by our desire as an academic unit to maintainhigh standards for admission.Other factors contributing to professional working adult learner success include, but are notlimited to, years since last degree, undergraduate field of study, reasons for undergraduate GPA(if low), GPA of classes taken more recently (post-undergraduate), GPA in the first two yearsversus the last two years, demonstrated application of undergraduate assimilated knowledgethrough successfully greater career opportunities, recommendations from supervisors and thirdparties and the potential students statement of purpose.

industry closely parallels the method for rubricdevelopment in academia. This section describes the need for rubrics in industry, and explores amethod for developing a rubric to assess the professional skills of engineers. The rubric isdesigned to evaluate professional skills in the context of playing team-building games during anengineering hiring process. First is a brief background on the need for rubrics in industry,followed by a proposed process for developing and using a rubric for assessing professionalskills in this context.Understanding the Need for Rubrics in Industry Growth in engineers’ careers relies on promotions and hiring based on evaluations at alllevels. Many companies have clearly defined values that guide company
