With the vision of becoming ametropolitan research university of distinction, BSU is transforming from a teaching-based to aresearch-based university. Embracing this transformation, BSU‟s College of Engineering seeksto establish balanced workloads between teaching and scholarly activities among its faculty byproviding appropriate evaluation, rewards, and support. During the 2009-2010 academic year,the college‟s Teaching and Learning Committee conducted a survey with the full-time facultymembers to better understand their perceptions about the current workload ratio betweenteaching and scholarly activities, the current evaluation and reward systems, and
skill and knowledge, S Satisfactory/Functional skills and knowledge, B Basic skills andknowledge, or N No skills or knowledge. In fact, the new scale is more successful in producingdifferentiated responses. Administering the survey each spring, with the assistance of the faculty Page 11.1166.6in senior level courses, ensures a good return rate.The ACI reviewed the instrument of this example relative to the criteria proposed by theNCHEMS.

This model provides a social psychological framework proved to be useful in explainingseveral types of behavior7,8. It suggests that someone‟s Behavioral Intention (BI) depends onAttitude (A) and Subjective Norm (SN). This framework will help predicting the intention forholding a doctoral degree in engineering. The Behavioral Intention (BI) defines the objective toenroll a PhD program in the future. Attitude (A

of universities have also provided facilities for students to submit anonymouscomments on a class. However, these tools are rarely used by students, tend to attractemotional complaints, and do not provide a coherent mechanism for improving delivery of acourse.Some instructors have rolled their own midterm evaluations using LMSs or off-the-shelfsurvey tools. These have often proved cumbersome. Austin and Austin [5]’s LMS lackedanonymous response capability; instructors could see who had answered a question. Thus,if they logged in to view results at a time when only a single student had responded, theycould figure out what that student had written. Second, substantial administrative supportwas needed: Instructors needed to import a Zip file

Students are paired up (with an occasional trio, ifnecessary) and given a generic set of instructions explaining that they will perform a ‘scene’ withtheir partner(s) for their peers in approximately ten minutes. These instructions also include somereminders of things to consider that may help them communicate their scene, including tone,volume, body language, and use of relational space (all discussed previously in course content).Students are additionally encouraged to use readily available props as they deem appropriate.Each group is instructed to keep their scene a secret from other groups as they prepare.
