wide spread knowledge in problem solving,management of resources, and process planning. Project Management is a key skill required byEngineering Technologists, who work in project-driven manufacturing companies. An IndustryAdvisory Council for a university in Louisiana expressed the need for project managementtrained graduates, and worked with Engineering Technology faculty to develop a post-baccalaureate certificate program focused on technical project management. In addition, theIndustry Advisory Council worked closely with Engineering Technology faculty to develop anew course on “Technical Project Management” that can combine with other courses offered bythe department and college to prepare project management certificate graduates.This

quality efforts have been focused onenhancing the quality of our graduate engineering programs, this knowledge is also being appliedto gap courses. As part of the WPI’s new strategic plan, one of the elevate impact initiatives isfocused on pioneering competency-based online education with a focus on engineering educationat the graduate level. This focus and investment has allowed us to reexamine the gap coursesand identify areas for enhancement. Efforts are currently underway to transition those coursesfrom traditional lecture-based courses to competency-based courses. While we expect the moveto competency-based graduate courses to be a large undertaking, we expect the gap course effortto be minimal since the courses had already been modularized

It isour intent to keep these sessions positive, friendly, informal, and open.We (the authors) have planned, coordinated, and facilitated most of the sessions to date. Whilesome of our meetings involve socializing and free discussion, we also draw on suggestions fromthe participants for discussion topics. Such topics have included survey results of participants’work situations, information-sharing about the college’s administrative stance on teachingfaculty, teaching assistant supervision, and ideas for professional development.

At that time, the underlying foundation for ProSTAR’s professional educationactivities was a Master of Science degree with a primary focus in technology leadership andinnovation skills including tools for process improvement and quality management.In addition, this program incorporated other innovations beyond its delivery system, scheduleand fee structure. To be consistent with its goal of developing practical skills and knowledgeimmediately, or at least quickly, applicable to business and industry, its plan of study2incorporates a base of essential core studies, flexible and easily tailored courses to insurerelevance to emerging technologies, and

Someresearchers have worked on motivation of faculty members in the context of following non-traditional teaching practices. Colbeck, et al. found that faculty’s goals for teaching and beliefsabout their own professional skills influence their use of non-traditional teaching practices 9.Finelli, et al. have analyzed factors that influence faculty motivation to adopt effective teachingpractices 10, 11. They have gathered inputs from a sample faculty at their university and areplanning a faculty professional development initiative to influence the teaching practices ofindividual faculty, and an administrative change plan to impact college

The objective of the game is for teams to barter with each other inorder to become the first team to piece together the 4 cards. First, each team is given 3 minutes tosort its pieces, determine which pieces it needs to make complete cards, and develop abargaining plan. Teams are then allowed to start bartering for pieces. People can barter on theirown or as a team. When the time is up, whichever team has the most number of completed cardswins.Step 1: Identify observable attributes to evaluate. To determine the specific criterion to evaluatein each game, interviews may be conducted with hiring experts who have experience

In addition, while the faculty member provided participants with feedback related to the course content, the executive was able to offer feedback and input on the quality of the presentation as it related to the company’s realities. A preparation meeting between the faculty member and company executive who would be co-leading the webinar was also a useful way for the two to align their plans, better understand their respective roles, and for the faculty member to be further educated about some of the specific challenges facing the company. Over time, the faculty members became much more attuned to the specific dynamics of challenges facing the
