Paper ID #16112Integrating Civility into the Classroom: Practicing and Teaching Civility toPrepare Students for Career SuccessProf. Ralph Ocon, Purdue University Calumet c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Integrating Civility into the Classroom: Practicing and Teaching Civility to Prepare Students for Career SuccessAbstractThe focus of most engineering and technology programs is to provide students with the technicalskills required for success in their future careers. Often overlooked, but equally important forcareer success, is training on the “soft skills.” In particular, faculty need to

classroom management problems and students with abewildering assortment of academic and personal problems, doing what it takes to learn aboutand integrate into the campus culture, and finding the time to do all that and still have a personallife (Adam et al. 2008, Felder et al. 2012; Kember and Kwan 2000). It becomes more challengingto get established when the department or the college does not have the adequate resources tosupport the new faculty, and lacks a formal faculty development and mentoring program oncampus. There are some tricks of the trade—what I have learned from the literature and from mypersonal experience that will be shared in this article so that new E and ET faculty become moresuccessful in their careers. Some of the key issues

programs are growing.Brent and Felder’s 2008 ASEE paper on a professional development program for graduatestudents at their university described a program to help graduate students develop skills ineffective teaching, and a workshop to help prospective faculty find the right academic job andlaunch their careers. Their pedagogy component includes material on teaching assistant roles andresponsibilities, responding to crises, and handling cheating, as well as elective material specificto each teaching assistant’s needs, including grading, using technology, facilitating laboratories,and working with diverse teaching and learning styles.10Several universities offer optional teaching certification programs for teaching assistants whowish to delve

this ratherunpleasant situation, how may young faculty members of the Arab Gulf Region,overcome these difficulties and survive in this maelstrom of indecisiveness anduncertainty? What is the role of the institution in assisting young faculty inovercoming the initial hurdles at the start of their journey?The paper addresses issues and concerns that beset the majority of young engineeringfaculty in the Arab Gulf Region at the start of their academic career, and argues thatthe introduction, early on, of “well thought out” professional development strategiesof engineering educators would raise their self-confidence as teachers and help inequipping them with the tools they need in disseminating knowledge in theclassroom.

It is our responsibility to share the developments we learn with the public. Keeping others informed is vital for social, economic, and political spheres.’Integrating cross-disciplinary activities into undergraduate courses takes considerable time

perceptionsabout faculty support fall along institutional lines. That is, many quotes illustrating a lack offaculty support come from the large Research institution, while several quotes illustrating greatersupport come from the smaller and/or more teaching-focused institutions. However, it isimportant to note that even within the same institution, a difference between faculty support inlarger classes and in smaller classes was noticed by students. For example, one studentdescribed the differences he perceived between classes at his institution. First, he discussed theLarge or Very Large classes that students take early in their undergraduate careers: General education classes that are held in big auditorium rooms the professor doesn’t know
