Adjuncts typically are “offthe radar screen” of the Dean and Chair, hence receive minimal feedback except from students intheir classes. Adjuncts often have little authority to improve the laboratory/class they teach andmay not be included in curriculum decisions. Supto recommends that “every adjunct shouldhave a full-time faculty member assigned as an advocate and resource” but this often isn’t thecase1. Adjuncts are often left to fend for themselves.Departments and faculty may want to do an excellent job of teaching undergraduates, yet it isoften the lack of resources and not

To address these needs, the instructors brought materials with them to theclassroom to help the teachers. This encouraged teachers to share materials with other teachersand with other schools.

That is, it is conceivablethat potential future delivery might limit the face-to-face interaction to only those activities thatrequire physical presence, such as demonstrations, laboratory work, etc., with the theoreticalcontent being delivered in an online-only format.

In addition, the tours included hands-on learning, where students not only receiveddemonstrations of machinery and robots, but also were allowed to test some of the equipment inthe laboratories. The demonstrations enriched learning for the engineering students because theywere not only able to hear and see technology, but they were able to experience it, too.
