about the process in the nine classes it has been used although a few students haveasked questions about what will be done with the forms. About two weeks following thedate when grades are due, the SPIE FORM forms are reviewed by the instructor.A protocol was submitted to the Purdue University, Committee on the Use of HumanResearch Subjects prior to first using the SPIE FORM in class. This is done to protect thestudent ’s privacy, safety, welfare, and rights and also to meet government guidelines2 .The protocol was deemed “exempt” because it is “conducted in established or commonlyaccepted educational settings” and it “involves normal educational practices.” Howeverthere is a stipulation for this exemption that the SPIE FORM has to be a part of
experience of new faculty can be leveraged to build a strongerconnection among students, classroom material, and professional skills requirements. A broadnetwork often built with industry experience can assist the new faculty member in supportingstudents in their job search, bringing guest speakers into class, and building student designprojects around real projects from industry partners. Teaching focused institutions in particularwill reap the benefits of hiring faculty with industry experience, and opportunities exist toimprove recruitment and orientation methods to assist new faculty with the transition.ReferencesAdams, Robin S., and Richard M.

officers—on how to go about seeking research funding. It does notdiscuss individual programs, though it does offer some suggestions for finding them.Rather, it concentrates on finding out about funding opportunities and building a personalnetwork to enable oneself to compete effectively for them.The first step in getting funded is to come up with an idea. The next step is to find anagency that is interested in the area. Then the researcher must make a credible case that(s)he can make a contribution in the area. Sometimes this is through a single-investigatorproposal, but more and more frequently, it is as a member of a team. In the latter case,networking is crucial.2.

identified the following benefits of the Queue system.Save time for both students and instructorsTime is at a premium for students, instructors, and staff. The Queue organizes both students andinstructors to maximize student learning when time is restricted.Group Formation and Peer LearningNumerous studies have shown the benefits of peer learning, but this can be challenging tofacilitate in large courses with several hundreds of students. The Queue allows students toidentify other students or groups who have the same or similar questions. This could be used tohelp students form small groups to discuss their question(s) and then work with an instructor.Similarly, the Queue could also be used to facilitate students answering other students

process.In addition, for new faculty members to communicate with others having just a few years moreexperience than them may help. That group will be able to communicate their experiences andrelate to their concerns. Even faculty members recently evaluated are still mostly pragmaticabout the Process, but their successful navigation of it should provide reassurance to others.Bibliography1. S. Barnicki, C.

professors on the tenure track, balancing research, teaching and servicecommitments is an ongoing challenge. Organizing and running a program like MaterialsCamp falls in the service category, which is generally considered the least important areafor tenure and promotion decisions. Any camp program requires a significant amount oftime and effort from the organizing faculty member(s), and will inevitably decrease theamount of time available for proposal and paper writing, research activity, and coursepreparation.Feedback from several UAB faculty members in administrative positions with P&Tcommittee experience was collected informally, regarding their impressions of theMaterials Camp program, and its potential impact on the author’s career

As new industries and technologies evolve so are theneeds for new educational programs. Historically, new educational programs have evolved tomeet the related needs and opportunities; for example, computer engineering in 1970’s, computerscience in 1980, bioengineering in 1990s, computational science and engineering in 2000s andthe nanoengineering programs of the 21st century.

institutions recognize onlyScholarship of Discovery, teaching-based institutions have started to recognize the other areas ofscholarship as defined by the Boyer’s Model.Scholarship at Gannon University is broadly recognized by three attributes: professional,communicated and peer-reviewed. Each of these attributes may be found at different levels, suchas University, regional, national or international (recognition, review, publication, etc.).Scholarship activity may be stronger in one of the three attributes; but, the body of a colleague'sscholarship should demonstrate all three to some degree.1. Professional — demonstrably pertinent to the discipline(s) of the individual faculty member.2. Communicated — evidence that the work has been made known

engagement, b) includeactive and cooperative learning and c) implement peer instruction. In addition, the fill-insheets have enabled differentiated instruction in the class room, by adding symbolicsolutions to challenge the advanced student, while helping the average and below averagestudent solve the basic problem using numbers. Aside from these an equal number ofproblems are given as homework which have varying degrees of fill-in to inculcate andtrain students in problem solving. Additionally, detailed solutions are made available toimprove problem solving skills, while teaching methodologies. Student surveys indicatethat these fill-in sheets have increased their learning.Bibliography1. Smith, K. A., Sheppard, S. D., Johnson, D. W. and, Johnson
expressing the things they believe about teaching,learning, and their role(s) in the teaching/learning processes. For example, “What are yourbeliefs about teaching? What are your aims for students, and why are these aims important toyou? How do your actions as a teacher reflect your beliefs about teaching and learning?”3Portfolio authors could also adapt guidance intended to help students creating learning portfoliosto their situation, and utilize prompts such as “What have I learned? Why did I learn?”4 (aboutteaching); “What difference has the learning made in my intellectual, personal, and ethicaldevelopment?”4 (as a teacher); “How does what I have learned fit into a full, continual plan forlearning?”4 (for teaching, for professional development
an array of active learning approaches that pique their interest and spark excitement about the possible outcomes for their students. After initial exposure to new activities, contextual questions naturally arise for educators, and a clear understanding of the essential features for successfully implementing a teaching strategy becomes necessary. Reflection activities represent one approach for active learning that educators reasonably have questions about before adopting the approach. Reflection is a topic that can have various meanings. For this project, reflection was conceptualized with the following definition: looking back on the past experience(s), to interpret and make meaning of those experiences in order to plan for the future [1
account for 65% grade. In such cases, students would treatthe portfolio seriously as a class assignment and spend more effort to create it.Comparing the Benefits and Drawbacks of Portfolio AssignmentsWhen students were required to include most of their work into the portfolio, an obvious benefitof creating the portfolios is for students to archive and review their work. This benefit wasmentioned in several studies. For example, students in Upchurch et al.’s study8 thought one ofthe main benefits of creating a portfolio was to archive assignments and to be able to review theirwork. Knott14 reported that students saw being able to keep a record of achievements and jobexperience as one major advantage of creating a portfolio. Heinricher11 reported

University of Washington, Gillmore [2] supports the viewthat adequate instructor reliability rating is achieved in certain circumstances but is Page 14.516.2limited to similar conditions of measurement. On the other hand, SET scores may not beas reliable as they are thought to be, as some studies show that instructors can increaseSET scores by inflating grades or grade expectations [3-7] (even if some corrections maybe applied in order to rectify the results [8]). The fact that the quality of instruction is notnecessarily correlated to SET scores was strongly opposed particularly in the 1970’s [9].Other general concerns related to how SET ratings are
