technology; and teacher education and professional development. Due to her interest and background in teacher education, Dr. Yang designed, developed and coordinated the K-12 Online Teaching Endorsement Program at Boise State. Dr. Yang was a featured researcher of the Association for Educational Commu- nications and Technology (AECT) International Convention and the Young Researcher Award recipient from the American Educational Research Association (AERA). Recently she also received the Effective Practice Award (in online and eLearning) from the Sloan-Consortium. Page 24.1237.2 c

as a part of their ownengineering identity. The PIP uses a continuous improvement process similar to that used inengineering design, but now applied to the individual rather than to a product or process. Withthese attributes in mind, we believe the PIP is a best practice that could be adopted in anyengineering education. Whether it is at the department level, course level, or for special cohortssuch as honors programs, adaptation of the PIP can serve to benefit any engineering student inthe pursuit of her or his degree.6.

under a single college orschool the disciplines of engineering and technology. The curriculums were evolved with asingular focus. As time passed, theoretical instruction became more prominent and some ofthese colleges and schools pushed the technology portion of the curriculum to the peripheral,others simply eliminated technology altogether.The College of Engineering’s Division of Engineering Professional Education (ProEd) and theCollege of Technology’s Center for Professional Studies in Technology and Applied Research(ProSTAR) share a common purpose, mission and vision. Underlying these is the fundamentalpremise that both serve the graduate educational needs of professional working adult learners inthe STEM disciplines; this through credit and

the faculty communities to ensure eligibility offuture funding, but the messaging for this mandate builds on our faculty’s own best practices fortheir research. Our faculty view weekly research group meetings as normative and maybe evencritical for the success of their research programs. More importantly, faculty do not find theseweekly meetings to infringe on their academic freedom, because these weekly meetings flow outof their common communal interest. By establishing faculty community first, these weekly Page 24.1329.7meetings should align with the academic freedom of the faculty and build on their beliefs of whatpractices support good

sufficient condition for an engineeringteacher. A good research scholar can be a good researcher, but he may not be a good teacher.Neither regulatory bodies nor the engineering colleges’ leadership requires teachers having anyexposure to theory and practices of education domain. This impacts performance of faculty andoverall college education, and perhaps results in mushrooming of private tuition classes that haveshort term focus and examination orientation. It is estimated that the overall private tuitionmarket’s annual turnover is double than the budget for education in the ongoing five year plan.All this is resulting in stooping down of the estimated employability of graduate engineers toonly 25% 3.Meantime the global demands from engineering
