? Thinking about your strategic plan should first be done in terms of your life long ambitions or values. TheFranklin Quest Company,5 developer of successful planning materials, encourages people to “get control of theevents of your life that matter” by first identifying your governing values. It is essential to understand that theseare your life priorities and not weekly goals. In his book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,4Stephen Covey recommends “beginning with the end in mind.” Look at yourself in terms of how you wantfamily members, friends, work associates, and other associates to feel about you at the end of your life.Consider how you want to be viewed in your profession. Will you strive for excellence in teaching or
teaching as your research area, there are publications and professional engineering societieswhere you can publish your work and become an active member.The most important thing to remember is that receiving promotion and tenure is your responsibility, not yourdepartment heads or any other faculty member in your department. Getting tenure by teaching is just as difficultas getting it through research; thus, do not use teaching as a back door into your department. Always keep onething in mind, if your teaching is good even if your peers do not appreciate your work, your students will. Figure 1 Recommended Format for Promotion Document General Information

The goal was to make it easy enough sothat someone with little or no programming experience could sit down, read the instructions, andwithin 10 minutes have a working Neural Network.

educational enterprise.To keep engineering courses relevant, faculty often bring in current topics to their undergraduateclasses. In the ideal world (or department), faculty engaged in research will teach undergraduatecourses in the same discipline area. Bringing in research work performed by undergraduatestudents into undergraduate courses has the important benefit that the coursework is still fresh inthe undergraduate student's mind. The key benefit a faculty member has when integratingresearch results from undergraduate students is by observing how the undergraduate researchstudents learn the necessary research material based on the foundation concepts originally usedin the classroom. From these observations, the faculty mentor can determine the
is correct to boot.No matter how intuitive software products become, we have to teach the basic concepts thatunderlie the discipline. We do not want to have our students become “symbol pushers” any morethan we what them to be merely “button pushers.” We want them to understand thefundamentals and we want them to be able to apply those fundamental concepts in a variety ofcomplex situations. The place of Electronics Testbench in this scenario is to be the study guide.The whole course is structured in the form of a practice quiz. The beauty of this approach is thatit contains all the advantages of standard computer aided instruction (CAI) and eliminates itsmajor disadvantage. Old CAI had a “one track mind.” The learning process in
