research that may result in faculty not achieving promotion & tenure (PnT). Regardless of the rules laid out in policy documents, if there is a negative institutional stereotype about engineering education research, it will come through in the peer- reviewed approval committees. This is of special concern for pre-tenure faculty that may see EER as an impediment to achieving tenure. • Lack of Graduate Students. For an institution that does not have a Ph.D. program in engineering education, there are not engineering graduate students that are in a position to work on research projects. This has two impacts. The first is that this puts additional onus on the faculty to do the day-to-day research

Courses taught includedManufacturing I, Manufacturing II and Heat Transfer. In Manufacturing I, the topics coveredincluded a description of tool machines as the main material removal process in industry, tooland machine selection and precision measurement with calipers and micrometers. InManufacturing II, the focus was on production planning, standard operating procedures, andgeometric and dimensional tolerancing. A
