crucial for them to quicklydevelop their scholarship foci, and research plans to allow them to achieve tenure.A successful tenure program requires a balance of teaching, scholarship, and service; however,developing a robust research and scholarship agenda while trying to maintain the excellence inteaching and a broad service agenda is a challenge. In addition, teaching-oriented colleges oftenlack research laboratories, have a very limited number of graduate students, and offer little or nostartup funds to new faculty. Because of economic constraints, both administrators and facultyare being asked to do more with less support [6]. Simply put, the “action figure” portrait oftoday’s engineering/engineering technology professor[7], who has to do it

Thesechanges included providing more feedback to students, allowing them to resubmitassignments after an initial grading, reading assignments in front of the class,reading, summarizing and discussing technical papers in addition to otherlaboratory exercises. The results are evaluated by grading a number of student finalprojects from the pre and post

In each session, a panel of three tenured faculty (one senior and two recently tenured)spoke about what was required for success and answered junior faculty questions. Following thethree sessions, the junior faculty had lunch with senior administrators and a discussion with theengineering dean.A particular problem in new faculty integration is bringing women into departments in whichfew or no women currently work.

Unfortunately, most universityfaculty have not had any formal training on classroom management. Consequently, manyare left on their own to figure out how to competently teach and manage their students’behavior and performance1. Often, faculty resort to trial and error experimentation, withsome imitating the techniques used by experienced colleagues or former instructors.Fortunately, successful classroom management skills can be learned and developed.

These subtle opportunities are documented in the paper.ABET criterion and outcomes used to evaluate engineering and engineering technologyprograms now emphasize the use of standards, especially in the design process. This is a newchallenge for the engineering educator. Given that new engineering educators teach theirstudents about standards, it is necessary to become familiar with available information that mayhelp students as well as typical best practices for academic libraries. Acquiring access tostandards is the first step in using standards. The next step is to acquire skill and learn how tocritically read and apply them.The literature
