In addition, this study also revealed thatfull-time faculty were more likely to attend organization meetings and academic andprofessionally related conferences. Full-time faculty were also more likely to join disciplinary,non-disciplinary, and college related organizations. In her conclusion, Schuetz7 suggested that“part-time faculty are less connected than full-time faculty to professional organizations,colleagues, and administrative activities, all of which support and are likely sources ofinformation about effective instructional practices” (p. 43)7.A study of community

prioritization from faculty to faculty member can be very different. Inmany cases they have also chose academics rather than a career in industry for a reason otherthan pure economic gain. So they place value on intangibles such as service, flexibility, andfreedom to some extent. But they also want to make money, they want to be able to dointeresting research and publish the results, and many of them are interested in teaching andperforming service for the academic community or society in general. But there is a sufficientlydiverse set of goals, and what the faculty members choose to do impacts every other stakeholdersignificantly, so that account for the faculty is key in any strategy regarding the positioning ofany plan in higher education.StaffStaff

, disruptive technologies, intellectual property, entrepreneurship, proposal writing,project planning and control, etc.By adopting a simplistic view for a moment one can reason that there is a hierarchy that can beestablished between intelligence, creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship, where the formeris a necessary condition for the latter. In general, intelligence and subject expertise may lead tocreating ideas (ideation). Some of these ideas may lead to innovative problem solutions orinventions. Usually, creation of a working physical (sometimes improved) prototype ends theinnovation process and starts the entrepreneurial process (commercialization). Creativity, ingeneral, can be quantitatively measured as a number of novel ideas. In

Implementation by first-year facultywould require coordination and development of nearly 160 projects involving multiplecommunity partners providing a wide range of services. Before embarking on this majorundertaking of first-hand service learning, the faculty developed major design projects withservice and humanitarian foci –referred to as service-oriented projects– for students to work onin teams. The research analyzes the change in students’ attitudes, and reveals that learningservice through selected project types has an impact similar to that of service learning.
