Often, teaching design-oriented and/ or field-related subjects dorequire “first-hand” knowledge that instructors could only get by having taken part, or beeninvolved in real engineering problems. Relying mainly on textbooks and/ or reference material,as the only source to teach from, is regarded by many, as an oversimplification or a deviationfrom reality.This paper sheds light on the pros and cons of opening-up to off-campus practitioners, andargues for engaging properly selected adjunct faculty in the teaching-learning process, inpartnership with “full-time” regular faculty members. The impetus here is three fold. First, thegeneral belief that well-seasoned and experienced practitioners can
