Although hired in large part dueto our vast industry experience, colleagues have not always been anxious to embrace our input ascredible. This further exacerbates the emotional challenge noted earlier associated with a loss ofexpertise moving from a well established industry career to that of a new engineering educator.In this case though, we have the expertise but we’re not allowed validation by our peers,essentially negating the most positive attribute we have to offer, at least in the first few years.Suggestions in the Area of Instructional ApproachAs is presently done in many engineering technology programs, the educational institutionshould

Academic Careers AbstractFor students graduating with a Ph.D. in engineering today and opting for an academiccareer, the path to eventual promotion and tenure is likely to be long and difficult. Whilenew Ph.D.s may understand the importance of continuing to do cutting-edge research,establishing a solid funding record, and obtaining strong teaching recommendations,there are many other factors important to career success of which they may be unaware.For example, they may have little knowledge of how formal promotion and tenure rulesmay be interpreted by their colleagues, what an annual performance evaluation reallymeans, how to establish a good network of mentors with whom to discuss importantcareer decisions

Regulations put forth by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia,specifically prohibit Georgia Tech from having a College of Education, so there is no unit oncampus with the mission of teaching students about pedagogy, or preparing them for a career ineducation. Further, there has been a historic institutional paradigm that equates success withplacement of Georgia Tech graduates in technical or research positions.
