Conclusion In Korea, universities and colleges have concentrated on ranking and classifying thefaculty by the number of publication in SCI-rated research journal, which lead to indifference toteaching of most engineering faculty. Now we try to find the way how to get balance betweenresearch and teaching. It is time for the faculty in Korean engineering colleges to develop facultyownership for their own career growth and to harmonize teaching and research. Course portfolios can be a very effective method for identifying and validating quality ofteaching. Most engineering faculty members in Korea agreed that the

data in this manner, one corrective action would be to add into the curriculumreinforcement activities in upper division courses. The IEEE-SME exam had a better correlationto GPA than did the core exam by a factor of four. The IEEE-SME correlated relatively wellwith both the core exam and with student GPA.One major issue with both exams is response time in implementing corrective actions. Anassessment at the end of a student’s undergraduate career or as in the case presented in thispaper, in the middle and at the end of a colligate career, means that corrections to a course maytake two years or even longer. Reduction of the feedback latency can be accomplished byimplementation of a per-course assessment process where an assessment is made at

It made me realize how careless I can be sometimes, and howserious that really can be. For example, if I alone pour my used oil into the ground it doesn’t doas much, but when I do it repeatedly along with several others doing the same thing, it becomesa big problem. Not to just look at my actions in everyday life, but to look at how I should act inthe field. It isn’t enough to just design something to the specs. The specifications still allowenergy inefficiency and chemicals to be put into the environment, but what if I go above andbeyond? Instead

If the initial hands-on challenge is too hard, then skills like project planning and troubleshooting will not be properly developed. 3. Lack of confidence, especially in a student’s ability to understand areas that are not in the students' major. For example, a mechanical engineering student’s understanding of programming and/or electronics. 4.

globalization trends encourage furthereconomic and social interdependencies across disparate geographic regions. Given these trends,engineering educators are being challenged to provide engineering students with a variety ofglobal and professional competencies needed for career mobility and success. At the same time,many reformers are looking beyond traditional bodies of knowledge and skill sets to ask whatvalues, attitudes, and dispositions are important for future engineers. These kinds of “affective”characteristics comprise a key – and yet often overlooked – part of identity formation for manyprofessionals, including engineers.
