between thestudent and professor. Sometimes the contract is required to specify deliverables.An independent study usually addresses a topic that is not covered in a regular course. Facultycan use them to build up their teaching and research program. For example, an independent studymay be used to introduce a student to a particular research area in which (s)he may pursue athesis (though in some cases, students are not allowed to earn both independent-study and thesiscredits on the same topic). It may also be used to assist another student on a thesis project, aswhen an undergraduate gathers data that a graduate student can use in writing a thesis.Independent studies can also be used to enrich existing courses. A faculty member may want

research emphasis in the WSOE of Engineering at FGCU. Founded inlate 90’s, FGCU is the newest public university in Florida. FGCU can be viewed as a non-traditional university, where the conventional tenure system is replaced by a three-yearrenewable term contract. In 2006 three young faculty, who are also the authors of this paper,accepted faculty positions in Bioengineering, Civil Engineering, and Environmental Engineering.We were faced with the challenge to balance scholarship, teaching and service as new facultymembers at this recently established institution. To overcome these obstacles, we identified asystem that centers on using available resources that the position has to offer and managing ourtime and resources wisely to enhance career

included issues related to recruiting and retaining more minorities in engineering. He believedthe service aspect of diversity did not belong in a teaching portfolio because it did not directlyrelate to teaching. His second category referred to ways to handle diverse groups of people in theclassroom. YI104 chose to not include his diversity statement in his teaching portfolio because hedid not like it and felt that diversity was more of a service responsibility, rather than explicitlyrelated to teaching diverse groups.YI104’s diversity views were greatly influenced by a childhood experience. When he was growingup he asked his grandfather if he knew Tagalog and his grandfather responded,‘you’re American, speak English”. This caused YI104 to treat

Let them meet the specificpeople who are paying them to do this work and have them give some small presentation to themat an early time: the students will quickly learn that they must take full personal responsibility forthe quality of their work.It takes both the right type of industry contract and the right undergraduate(s) to make theresearch experience work. If either isn’t appropriate, the experience is miserable for the student,granting agency, and advisor. It can be difficult for a new professor to turn down a potentialcontract or a student that requests to be involved in a project but it is far more difficult to managean inherently poor match into a successful outcome.

These time related differences inmaturity and experience level between instructor and student led to a power differential withinthe classroom that faculty in academia rarely experience: “…And so, you know, some folks are receptive, some folks have had -- in some of their jobs have had just a load of experience in this and know way more than you do, and others don't.
