engineeringeducation. It is a theory of learning founded on the premise that the reflection of our experienceswill construct our own understanding of future knowledge, much like the purposeful, deliberate,and systematic nature of engineering, which requires reflection on past knowledge to constructfuture creations. There are several guiding principles of constructivism30,41,47,63,74:1. Understanding comes from interactions with the environment. A learner’s knowledge comes from his/her pre-existing knowledge and experience, and new knowledge is formed when connecting previous experience to the new content and environment.2. Conflict in the mind or puzzlement is the stimulus for learning and determines the organization and

-summer researchsymposium. This presentation at the conclusion of the summer is a perfect motivator for students to pull theirproject to completion and then submit an abstract to present at regional or national professional society meetings, anactivity that simultaneously provides productivity measures for the faculty member.Programs are typically designed with variations of the following attributes in mind: • State-of-the-art research experiences that motivate students to pursue graduate degrees in engineering. o Broad participation of underrepresented groups o Increased appreciation and understanding of research • Sense of community among REU students, faculty, and graduate student mentors
fear of it hurting their evaluations. The moresenior faculty members could also share honestly without being observed by their supervisor.Frequently these meetings occurred during an off campus lunch. Even as administrators, regularinformal visits with junior faculty have been successful to keep them informed of broaderactivities within the department and college and have provided strong social interactions fordeepening communication and facilitating collaborative efforts to benefit the junior facultymember.Getting tenure (or worrying about not getting it) is almost always on the mind of the newprofessor. The third author has done the following in a program he led. As a department head ina very large College of Engineering, he reviewed the
significantamounts of time, and may not be highly regarded by a tenure-review committee. Therefore, itmay be better to delay participation in such activities until after receiving tenure.Recommendations on Early Career ServiceAs discussed, new, untenured engineering faculty members at research institutions need todetermine how to best balance their time between teaching, research, and service. In most cases,service contributions will be of less concern for a tenure review committee than research andteaching accomplishments. As large time commitments are the primary detriment to performingservice, an untenured faculty member needs to weigh the potential career benefits versus the timespent on a service activity. With these thoughts in mind, the following
