different institutions with interest in applying EM approaches to career development haveteamed for this initiative. The three private institutions vary in size from 1,200 to 10,000. One isreligiously affiliated, and one is PhD granting. All three are members of the KEEN network andall have spent considerable time and resources weaving EM learning into their curriculums. Thenext step is to encourage their faculty to apply an EM approach to their own careers. All threeprovide mentors to new faculty and teaching load reductions for tenure-track faculty. The careerplanning support at these three institutions varies as does the position and rank of the faculty(Table 2). It is understood that titles for nontenure track faculty vary widely across the
,evaluative data are reported from the participants’ end-of-year survey results and an analysis ofthe faculty members student ratings of instruction compared to non-program participants.BackgroundFaculty development in higher education has seen great growth over the last 30 years [1]. Itmakes sense, why hire new faculty if you are not going to train them to be successful? Since1998, first-year faculty members in the Grainger College of Engineering at the University ofIllinois have participated in a multifaceted program designed to help them succeed in theirinstructional responsibilities. We call this program the “Collins Scholars” in honor of W.Leighton Collins, a former executive director of ASEE and long-time faculty member at theUniversity of
Aided Design (CAD), and Alternative Energy Systems.
