The Challenge of High Faculty TurnoverMaintaining a consistent assessment process in order to meet the ABET Criteria, as well asattaining student outcomes, maintaining course continuity and connectivity to other courses andprograms can be especially problematic in programs that have high faculty turnover. Forexample, at the USCGAs Electrical Engineering (EE) program, mandatory re-assignment andpromotion of personnel, we typically call “rotators,” creates an annual faculty turnover of about10%. Note 60% of the program’s instructors are permanent. Similarly, schools that hirednumerous

A unique feature of this program is theinclusion of all grade-levels, K-12, within a given district.Additionally, this program is modeled after a National ScienceFoundation GK-12 program, which was originally funded overten years ago. The lesson presented here targets grades 5 through8. Teachers who participate in this program attend a two-weeksummer workshop which is taught by
