For many newfaculty, there is no existing research group to join, so the faculty member starts from scratch. Inaddition to these external challenges, often the PUI is not set up to support the faculty inobtaining external research funds, as this may be a relatively new activity there.Locating facilities for research is difficult at a PUI. Faculty must find a way to useundergraduate teaching laboratories for their research, or need to locate funds to outfit a new lab. Page

It is therefore imperative to establish a steady pipeline of undergraduates in which the more senior ones train the newest members to minimize the time the professor must spend teaching young undergraduates basic research skills (including laboratory, writing, and administrative skills).II.

expertise would enrich students’ learning andbrings them (the students) closer to the realities of the workplace. (1)Employers, by and large, are generally satisfied with the basic technical preparation of today’sgraduates, but find them largely unaware of the vital roles that engineers play in bringingproducts and services from a “concept stage” to the marketplace. An important reason for this“drawback” is that faculty members, today, often lack industrial experience and/ or any othertype of practical experience. This is particularly troubling when faculty members, straight out ofgraduate school and have absolutely no experience “under their belt,” are assigned to teachpractice-related courses. Often, teaching design-oriented and/ or field-related

MINDS Many new faculty may face challenges related to effective teaching techniques. Student perception of good teaching may often be different from the instructors' opinions. Finding the technique that merges the two perspectives can be challenging and vital. Project-based learning has been documented to be a guaranteed procedure for increasing students' interest in the taught topic, while developing skills that also often reward the instructor with good student evaluations. We present the lessons learned in several capstone courses taught by three instructors at three higher education institutions. Different procedures are used.
