Self-Reported Motivation to TeachOur second research question explores the factors that non-tenure-track engineering faculty believe motivatethem to teach. Studies of non-tenure-track faculty from all disciplines have shown that non-tenure-trackfaculty are motivated to teach by interaction with students, the classroom environment, and the ability tostrike a satisfactory balance between work and personal responsibilities.

et al., [5] performed an exploratory on a non-traditional first year college student’sexperiences with messaging about engineering by an administrator, engineering faculty, and anacademic advisor. Their ethnographic research revealed tensions between the career goals of thestudent and the prioritization of national economic strength, an emphasis on quantitative andtechnical aspects of engineering practice over social or qualitative aspects, and a focus on theimportance of producing a large number of engineers to bolster the workforce over theeducational goals of the students. The messaging is created and reinforced by individuals atdifferent levels of the university system. This work underscores the need for criticalintrospection by
