classroom management problems and students with abewildering assortment of academic and personal problems, doing what it takes to learn aboutand integrate into the campus culture, and finding the time to do all that and still have a personallife (Adam et al. 2008, Felder et al. 2012; Kember and Kwan 2000). 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.

commented “Schools ofengineering might also do well to consider seriously cooperation with departments of educationin the professional training of teachers…”16 In 1955, the Grinter Report stated that “It isessential that those selected to teach be properly trained for this function.”17 More recently, theCCSSIEE from ASEE in 2009 recommended that “It is reasonable to expect students aspiring tofaculty positions to know something about pedagogy and how people learn when they begin theiracademic careers.”18Over the past decade, the future of engineering and engineering technology faculty preparation inthe US has received an increasing amount of attention, specifically from within the AmericanSociety for Engineering Education.

major with a high level of one-on-one advising. However, a high degree of flexibility also contributes. In the LSE program,iterative revision and recreation of an individualized curriculum and career plan are understoodas signs of success rather than failure or deviation. Students are encouraged to understand anddesign their major as a “whole-person technical degree” that does not require them to pass, toassimilate, to compartmentalize, or to conform to stereotypes. We suggest that this holisticflexibility may disrupt barriers such as impostor syndrome by positioning the student not asimpostor but as designer and creator – even when enrolled in technical courses in which thesex/gender ratio is skewed male.

When these recommendations are usedconsistently across the discipline, students will have a clear understanding of appropriate ethicalbehaviors and future engineers will be better prepared to work competently and ethically in thefield.Fantastic cheats – modern technology-driven cheatingA wide body of research studies indicate that

Successfor the instructor was measured by a significant increase in students’ reported satisfaction at theend of the course. Success for the students included greater satisfaction on their second siteevaluation visit to a LEED certified building than on their first visit where they reportedfrustration and angst.Early career teaching faculty and others may wish to make use of the CIQ as a formativeassessment tool when crafting questions to gain accurate responses that highlight

, designing and redesigning lectures, and learning solutions to the legion ofissues students bring to them in their classes8. The third irony is perhaps the most peculiar and tragic of the three. Many institutions(and the academic departments within them) ask their least experienced faculty (typically, newassistant professors or lecturers) to teach large courses in their first few years8,22. Often thesecourses have many hundreds of students and are, by virtue of their size, among the mostchallenging to teach effectively13,36,62,48. Yet many senior faculty members view teaching thesecourses as a rite of passage, challenges that all faculty members must experience at early pointsin their careers regardless of their ability or interest.

This does not mean that learning and teaching does not go on in Region’scolleges of engineering; I think that a great deal does. But there is every reason tobelieve that introducing a higher level of professionalism would enable young facultyto create and sustain a more powerful form of engineering education for the Region.The author draws on his own experience in the Region, as a faculty member and anadministrator, and looks

Of particular emphasis is the “scaling of teams” which herein isdefined as the process of knowing when to and actually bringing in additional scholarly voices (i.e.,upscaling) or moving forward just with the core team (i.e., downscaling) to support these activitiesas related to various funding opportunities.

In fact, it is not uncommon for engineering students to complete workindividually and then force fit the pieces together the night before a deadline. Some formalproject teams do work extremely well, providing educational benefits that are unlikely to berealized by students working alone. However, those teams that students develop outside theclassroom, with or without the help of a faculty member, can be just as important for supportinglearning, engagement, and other academic outcomes as more formal project teams organized byfaculty or instructors for specific purposes in individual courses.BackgroundAcademic project

In conclusion, since equal is notalways fair, instructors must make their expectations exceptionally clear to ensure that anystudent can succeed and earn an “A.” I believe it is time for educators to polish their teachingphilosophy, create appealing visual models, and share them with their students.IntroductionDeveloping a Teaching Philosophy Statement (TPS) is central in any academic career [1].

For these reasons, awareness of diversity issues, biases, and generalcross-cultural competence are critical professional skills that are not explicitly addressed in mostengineering curricula. Opportunities to authentically expose our students to experiences thatbuild awareness and cross-cultural competence is limited by the diversity (or lack thereof) of ourown classrooms and campuses. Students in classrooms that happen to be less diverse may thusexperience an unintentional impediment to professional development as they prepare for “thereal world.”Technical and professional communication (TPC) is one essential professional skill that is, inmany ways, intertwined with diversity.

perceptionsabout faculty support fall along institutional lines. That is, many quotes illustrating a lack offaculty support come from the large Research institution, while several quotes illustrating greatersupport come from the smaller and/or more teaching-focused institutions. However, it isimportant to note that even within the same institution, a difference between faculty support inlarger classes and in smaller classes was noticed by students. For example, one studentdescribed the differences he perceived between classes at his institution. First, he discussed theLarge or Very Large classes that students take early in their undergraduate careers: General education classes that are held in big auditorium rooms the professor doesn’t know

engineering,complicating any analysis of diversification efforts. In the case of economic competitiveness, thegoal is simply production of the maximum number of STEM graduates. The strategy is puttingmore bodies into the beginning of the STEM education pipeline so more come out the other end.In the case of educational pluralism, the goal is more about economic (and career) opportunity“for all,” and inclusiveness and diversity as desirable social and educational foundations in theirown right. These two diversification logics often fold together in practice—and are oftenconflated by STEM education reform advocates—confusing the conceptual foundations formany STEM inclusiveness initiatives. Therefore, while policy support for broad-based STEMrecruitment
