to be, his passion has always been more on the teachingside. One of Jon’s job prospects that was very interesting to him was in Philadelphia. Thoughthis job was not directly related to his field of study, it was an opportunity to use his skill set in adifferent area. When he contacted a graduate student colleague of both Jon and Chris about lifein Philadelphia, that connection proved to be invaluable. He noted his department had a jobposting for a teaching faculty member. This was Chris’s dream job. In the end, Chris left histenure track position for a non-tenure track teaching faculty position and Jon left his researchcareer for a career in software, which has been an underlying passion of his. Patience andflexibility ultimately led to

The views that have been expressed point towardsthe need to restructure programs, revise current educational methods, provide forprofessional development of faculty and students, and to graduate “well-rounded”engineers who could address variety of challenges represented by a highlycompetitive global market place, and be able to adapt to the ups and downs ofbusiness cycles. The views of the graduates have, by and large, been similar to thoseof the author and to views of some faculty members in Region’s colleges; and areconsonant with developing a more responsive educational environment.It is interesting to note that the evolution of engineering

Initiallycreated to empower junior faculty to connect with funding agencies, industry associated programdirectors and researchers, Faculty Development created a paradigm shift in the program whenmid- and senior-career and non-tenure track faculty expressed strong interest in participating.Trips were then also tailored to mid- and senior-career and non-tenure track faculty to stimulatenew energy and opportunities and broaden current research development. The program has beeninstrumental in achieving connections for all faculty resulting in new proposals, invitations toserve on panels, new collaborations and opportunities for their graduate students. An addedoutcome of group travel has been the enhancement of cross

can be developed such as increasing the importance of teaching in tenure criteria andproviding additional (internal) research dollars for those with high-marks in their teachingevaluations. Indeed, internal seed money for educational research may be the right catalyst toencourage a faculty member to explore an educational research topic (as opposed to submitting a Page 26.1596.6proposal to DUE of NSF as their initial foray into the educational research arena).Another interesting option might be the introduction of more flexible career paths that allowfaculty members at certain career stages to choose between a research-focused track, a

the final draft stage.Despite these shortcomings, the members of the FLC agree that other goals of convening an FLC[1] were fulfilled. We certainly created a stronger sense of community among interdisciplinaryfaculty members, and all advanced our knowledge of the scholarship of teaching and learning inthe process. Additionally, several other project ideas and collaborations grew out of this FLC thatinclude subsets of members as well as other faculty, so the positive results of this effort are notlimited in duration to the initial FLC.Our suggestions for others attempting to define a similar FLC include clarifying the goals of theFLC early in the process, incorporating the 10 qualities necessary for community in FLCs, andincorporating most or

It becomes more challengingto get established when the department or the college does not have the adequate resources tosupport the new faculty, and lacks a formal faculty development and mentoring program oncampus. There are some tricks of the trade—what I have learned from the literature and from mypersonal experience that will be shared in this article so that new E and ET faculty become moresuccessful in their careers.

As the program expands to include grant proposalreview, we will be exploring the similarities and differences between schema development formanuscript and grant proposal review. Sustaining the EER PERT Project: Beyond the completion of the NSF funding period,we will be exploring other ways to support this as an ongoing activity in the EER community.Possible models include fee-based programs: in-person or online workshops, and online,asynchronous training developed and refined through this project. The target audience for theseprograms would be early career researchers, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate
