The initial learning is fast since students do not Page 26.737.3spend time in interpreting the steps and avoid the laborious trial-and-error process. Since astudent learns by observing the desired behavior of an expert on the screencast, it aids learnerswith low self-efficacy in exploring the demonstrated behaviors1.

Barnett etal 5 proposed the use of faculty hiring networks as an indicator in the university program ranking.Lopes et al 6 proposed a social network analysis on university ranking based on the internalcollaborations among universities.We propose a methodology to generate rankings of university programs from what we call a“hiring graph”.

The positions they pursue could be permanent as in tenure-track positions ortemporary as the case in visiting positions or other forms of employment. An internationalfaculty member pursuing a career in academia is usually faced with a decision regarding the kindof position he/she plans to take. Those who love research activities will pursue a career ininstitutions that also value research activities more that teaching. Others who love teaching anddesire to keep it their main focus are likely to pursue a career at teaching institutions that valueteaching excellence and without great emphasis on research

and challenges of implementingthe first year in an experimental pilot program. As part of a set of initiatives to transform highereducation at Purdue University, the Polytechnic Institute (PI) was designed to be a multi-disciplinary, hands-on, competency-based experience for undergraduate students in technologyprograms. In Spring 2014, the PI began recruiting students, and in Fall 2014, the programopened its doors to its first cohort. The faculty who had taken a year to design and develop thefirst year curriculum eagerly awaited their new mentees. However, students came in with theirown hopes and concerns, which impacted their desire to join and remain in the program.Students were not alone in their decision-making. They were guided and

Critical analysis of these experiences using a prior evidence-based model ofstories ‘told’ about engineering in the public discourse reveals tensions between the freshmanstudent’s values and career interests and the emergent, dominant discourse he observed in hisundergraduate program.
