of 65% of thefinal grade.ResultsStudents initially were not in favor of the flipped classroom format. As shown in Figure 1 below,55% of students responded that they liked the idea worse than a typical lecture. Only 36% ofstudents responded that they liked the idea of the format better. However, just five weeks into thesemester attitudes had already shifted. Only 9% of students said that they liked the format worse,36% said that they liked it better, and 45% said that they liked it much better. This trendcontinued to the end of the semester where 0% of the students said that they like the formatworse. Liked the Format Beginning 5 Weeks End of Semester 60

these elements arewell defined, it is interesting to understand how the principles of stewardship are manifested inPh.D.-holding engineers. Before our work, the Stewardship framework was only applied to sixfields; engineering was not investigated. Past work by our group discusses this framework forengineering Ph.D.s in industry and academic careers14-16.

teachers should teach (1, 2). Further, they address differentlearning styles (3, 4), focus explicitly on communication, teamwork, and leadershipskills (5, 6), and stress on educating students for life by helping them learn how tolearn. (5, 7)“Skillful engineering teachers” are those who are committed to the profession, and atthe same time, do possess knowledge in three domains: engineering knowledge (i.e.,their main disciplinary expertise and its related areas), pedagogical knowledge (i.e.,how students learn, effective pedagogies in achieving learning goals), andpedagogical content knowledge (e.g., how best to demonstrate procedures, relateconcepts, and correct students’ misconceptions within given constraints) (8) .However,expertise in any domain

themtime, productivity, and sanity. It typically takes them 4–5 years to become as productive inresearch and as effective in teaching as they ever become. The other 5%—the “quickstarters”—meet or exceed their institution’s expectations for research productivity and score inthe top quartile of teaching evaluations in their first 1–2 years on the faculty. Boice foundthings the quick starters do that the other new faculty doesn’t do, and he also found thatthose strategies can be effectively taught.Most of us on college faculties learn our craft by trial-and-error. We start teaching anddoing research, make lots of mistakes, learn from some of them, teach some more and domore research, make more mistakes and learn from them, and gradually more or less

,including “evaluate the effectiveness of a designed experiment…verify and justify the solution toa complex civil engineering problem…develop and evaluate new, advanced technicalknowledge…synthesize and explain the relevance and application of new, advanced technicalknowledge…” and so on [1]. This list is admirable in its strong connection to the field of studyand the intended purposes of graduate studies, and is one that likely represents key desired out-comes of any graduate program. However, we suggest that this list does not capture many of theknowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) required for success in academic settings (e.g., identifiedin typical advice to faculty publications [2]).

will usuallybe able to see other reviewers’ comments, and be informed of the editor’s decision onwhether to accept the work. However, compared to reviewing for conferences or fundingagencies, you don’t get to see a range of work, and you don’t get to discuss it with otherexperts.It is also important to find a good mentor [1, 2], a more senior person who will work withyou and advise you. You may be able to be a co-PI on a proposal with your mentor. It isbecoming more common for universities to set up formal mentoring relationshipsmatching senior faculty with junior faculty [3]. But it’s also possible to set up aninformal relationship, maybe with someone at another institution.Students can also be helpful in preparing new ideas. Sometimes

, prospecting via targetedemail, presenting the couple as a package deal, and balancing career with family responsibilitiesThe National Context for the Dual-Career Job SearchDual-career couples are increasingly common in the workforce in the United States.1 This trendis applicable to engineering in general, academia in general, and by extension to STEMacademics in particular. Recent reports demonstrate these trends and their impact on the STEMacademic job seekers and their partners.Within engineering, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) Talent Council surveyedmembership in May 2011 and found that about half of all petroleum engineers were part of adual-career pair. In a December 2011 follow-up survey of members aged 45 and younger, theyfound that
