Chicago Conference Summary Findingsc) Providing faculty the necessary infrastructure for developingproposals for large funding amounts 1) Provide release time support for large proposals such as ERCs 2) Hire consultants to help with writing. Partner with other institutions 3) If there is a space challenge, the institution can buy space and rent out what is not needed, Look for under used laboratories to utilizee) Increasing research productivity, enhancing the impact of theresearch 1) Faculty who are no longer research active: Post tenure review, increased teaching or half appointment, industry-based research/consulting, appeal to the altruistic side. 2) “Launch Committees” – early career management
“principles of sustainable development”1 as primary to the ASCE’s code of ethics to beimplemented in engineering education. Previously, in June of 1999, the Board of Directors forthe American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) approved the following statement onsustainable development in education: Engineering students should learn about sustainable development and sustainability in the general education component of the curriculum as they are preparing for the major design experience. . . . Engineering faculty should use system approaches, including interdisciplinary teams, to teach pollution prevention techniques, life cycle analysis, industry ecology, and other sustainable engineering concepts.2ASEE has aligned
materials systems To develop a strong rationale for gaining a knowledge about engineering materialsSupplies: The variety of materials around us that we encounter dailyStudents often look for a strong rationale for studying a subject. Among the advantages to teaching abasic course in materials science or engineering materials is the fact that materials are all around us.While many people, including technical people, don’t give much attention to materials, we can teachstudents to become materials observers. We should encourage them to look for proper and impropermaterials selection. They benefit from this knowledge as consumers, citizens, and in their careers.Procedures:1. Journal - Keep a journal with which regular entries about
,hardware, data sheets from Texas Instruments, other reference materials [10], and books. Thegoal was to take the initial complex material and concepts and synthesize that content into asound instructional format that can be used directly as class and laboratory lecture material.The collaborated effort resulted in different course and lab modules that can be used directly inclass lecture, discussion, or in a real-time distance teaching environment. The initial labs werereferenced from the COSMIAC workshop material and further refined and developed into moredetailed step-by-step guides that students can follow. All the course materials were tested byfaculty at ODU and FSC before being disseminated through the project LMS platform. Faculty atODU
papers were also published on similar aspects of this subject.When researching for planning methods that target the goals presented in this paper, there wasnot a large amount of currently available information that directly applies. Searching the Internetfor “balancing teaching workload across multiple classes,” a variety of sources will surface thatuse a much different interpretation. In “Balancing Faculty Workload” (American MathematicalSociety 1, 2012), the areas covering teaching, research, and service are the key elements ofconcern when it comes to the topic of teaching workload. Indeed, even in our own Engineeringand Design Department, teaching workload planning is directly tied to promotion and tenure andis focused on those three main

Although some simple mathematical conceptsrequiring competence in high school algebra is required, the majority of the material strives forconceptual understanding of the underlying science of the specific technologies discussed.The course has three purposes:1. Students learn of the underlying scientific concepts of the technical tools used today2. Essays on the impact of specific technologies on society are assigned to students to encourage critical thinking3. Through discussions and technical problem-solving assignments, sufficient scientific literacy will be achieved meriting fulfillment of a non-laboratory

Thestudents took all of their courses for the spring semester, senior year, from a singleinstructor and pooled them into a seamless laboratory project to produce a recombinantprotein at pilot plant scale. The students were able to learn how to design experiments,plan and execute runs, and operate a

The learning environment combines(1) hands-on use of the Intranet for computer-based learning, (2) a team-based project toprototype a real product, (3) virtual design and assembly of the student-created toy using CAD,(4) realistic budgeting and design constraints, and (5) advanced prototyping techniques. The firstphase of the course focuses on learning advanced CAD tools using web-based learning software.Both the instructor and teaching assistants help students in the laboratory. The students design atoy conceptually as they become familiar with CAD tools. In the second phase, each groupdesigns a toy using a budget to buy standard parts such as motors and

Tutorials are smaller, typically of size 40, and involve several academics. Eachtutorial is managed by one academic and one teaching assistant, normally a postgraduatestudent. In addition to tutorials, informal drop-in clinics are also provided. These take placein a large, open workspace and are staffed by senior students who assist students needing helpin mastering the course. Laboratory exercises provide further learning experiences, as dovarious online resources. While completion of all laboratory exercises is required, there is noattendance requirement for lectures or tutorials. Online assignments2 provide early
prepares all pedagogical aspects of a block of the course,including lectures, exams, course outline, etc. In this way, the graduate student is exposed to themanner in which such materials are prepared and the thought processes involved in theirdevelopment, while still having access to someone who has the time and inclination to ensurethat course quality is maintained. Because of the objectives of this portion of the program,serving as a regular teaching assistant (TA) for a laboratory generally does not meet thisrequirement.This activity has benefits to the graduate student that extend well beyond learning to be aneffective class-room instruction.
