This paper focuses on faculty relations because, historically, 148 universities have relegated retention issues to staff and advisors. The importance of faculty influence on49 student retention is an under-researched and under-explored area. Specifically, faculty relations can be50 shaped through specific teaching practices instructors can use to increase student retention.

In this course, technical and business issues from the industry will be examined in aunique interdisciplinary environment, with students and faculty from both colleges involved. Theintended audience is multidisciplinary, reflecting the fabric and organization of the industry as itoperates today. The opportunity created by this course is unique in that engineering, science andbusiness students work together to understand and attempt to solve some of the complex issuesregarding an industry whose life-saving products create significant

Even as basic a question as, “What are the best assessment methods foreach chemical engineering program outcome?” really requires qualitative research methods forthe ABET professional outcomes 3d, 3f to 3j. Without constructivist inquiry it is not possible todefine and assess outcomes such as “an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams” (3d) sincethere is no standard definition or metric of “function.” Unfortunately, learning educationalresearch tools is considerably more difficult than understanding appropriate educational researchquestions.Although there are examples of ChE faculty who have been successful in

Typical examples are the “InspiresCurriculum”,9 “Engineering Concepts Curriculum Project”,10 the “Academy IntroductionMission”,11 and the “Texas Pre-Freshman Engineering Program”12. A program to address these issues was started in this department in 1993 with fundingfrom the National Science Foundation. The concept for this activity arose from a conversationamongst chemical engineering faculty members on what influenced them to major in engineering.Almost uniformly the conclusion was that it was an influential teacher at the 5th through 9th

The endresult was to expand the network to include all of the students, faculty, and alumni in thedepartment, thus addressing the concerns raised by the participants. During the Fall of 2008, the venue for the online social network was changed fromFacebook to Ning. There were several reasons which motivated this change. First of all,Facebook lacked the administrative control required to fully control the network. Morespecifically, the ability of inviting specific members and excluding problematic ones wasidentified, and foreseen to be a necessity. Second, Facebook groups have a fixed appearancewhich has little flexibility. One of the benefits of using Ning is that the site
