the main areas in which the untenured faculty have served as leaders for theiruntenured peers is by sharing their experiences regarding the procedures for contractrenewal and tenure review. Discussions between the untenured faculty on dates,procedures and the timeline of the tenure process are common. At the University ofPittsburgh, tenure stream faculty must complete a contract renewal evaluation at thecompletion of their first year. The primary components of the renewal dossier aredevelopment of a teaching philosophy, the curriculum vitae (CV) and a plan and schedulefor professional development activities to achieve tenure. The first author receivedguidance on preparing the renewal dossier from a former untenured faculty member wholeft for

Linking theory and calculations from the lecture to somethingconcrete to which the students are routinely exposed provides relevancy and can successfullyreinforce key aspects of the topic. This paper illustrates the integration of a practical exampleinto a chemical engineering curriculum, with the example pulled from a Mass and EnergyBalances course.The problem involves calculation of the power required to vaporize the liquid in an electroniccigarette (e-cigarette or vaporizer). Solution of this problem requires a coupled mass and energybalance and requires some knowledge of vapor-liquid equilibrium. Obviously, someassumptions are required to analyze this problem. Even with these assumptions, a reasonableestimate of

Student graphical comprehension increased with increased grade level, mathematicalaptitude, and English aptitude, and was correlated to graphical form (e.g., student comprehensionof line and bar graphs was greater than student comprehension of tables). Student graphicalcomprehension was independent of student gender.Yolcu [5] investigated graphical comprehension of middle school students via a standardizedStatistical Literacy Test (SLT). Based upon the statistical literacy framework developed byWatson [6], the SLT seeks to test and measure three tiers of statistical knowledge: (1) readingdata from a graph, (2) making inferences between data points, and

productiveengineering environment.DiscussionEngineering is a profession that requires a vast amount of technical, math, and scienceknowledge. Consequently, there is little space left in the curriculum for courses that specificallyfocus on leadership and professional development. Prior literature calls for a stronger focus ondeveloping leadership skills throughout engineering education [6]. However, there exists littleknowledge of how leadership or professional skills can successfully be integrated into technicalengineering classes. Out-of-class activities, such as research experiences and REUs seem to havesuccess in integrating both professional and technical learning outcomes into one setting.Students in this study reflected that they were simultaneously
