perceived and I think very real discouragement that young engineering faculty receive from… traditional administrators that engineering research is in a laboratory and is traditional in the sense that it involves scientific equipment and established research protocol and again, laboratory based. And there is a kind of a discouragement to not allow this distraction, or it's even viewed as a distraction, engineering education research, as a young faculty member… I was told specifically not to allow, my teaching not to distract from my research nor my interest in the scholarship of teaching and learning to distract from my research.The interviewee’s reflection on his pre- and post-tenure experience illuminate several layers

–entirely online. Included in this category are synchronous models, which attempt to replicate face-to-face classroom experience online, and competency-based models that enable students to move through a course at their own pace. The institution provides advising, tutoring, and all other student support services online, as well.” It should be noted that the idea of self-paced instruction has been discussed in engineering education since at least 1971 when B. V. Koen published a paper on it in IEEE Transactions on Education. In 2001 he and K. J. Schmidt described a web based course (Koen, B. V. and Schmidt, K. J (2001). The professor and the media laboratory: a case study in web-based course

examination question. Students answered individually. Thestudents had prior practice in creating similar system diagrams for other technological systems.Other parts of the course include class activities, laboratories, and homework assignments thatinvolve creating system diagrams. Some of the other technological systems studied include:automotive systems, home appliances, refrigeration systems, and biomedical devices. Thestudents are familiar with this type of question and have had the opportunity to practice makingsystem diagrams in a variety of contexts.To provide some background on this system, the Extended Range Mode for the Chevy Volt is aninteresting mode of operation. The Volt utilizes extended range mode after batteries have beendepleted. In
