The exemplar faculty advisor mustalso reflect on their practice, and deeply understand all aspects of the baccalaureate curriculum.Advising must help the student look beyond a semester-to-semester roadmap of isolatedcoursework and should help the student plan his or her trajectory through the program in terms ofacademic work, career planning, workplace engagement, and community involvement, all ofwhich are critical steps on the way to becoming an engineer. In this paper, the theoreticalframeworks for academic advising are presented; the concept of an advising syllabus isdescribed, and results from our own professional development program for engineering facultyadvisors are discussed.The Need for Improved

These are individuals who have not only completed a Ph.D. but also have chosen to go against the grain and pursue an academic position when positions in industry abound and generally pay better [3]. Given these characteristics, a faculty development curriculum should be designed to be challenging and stimulating. This provides

Angle of ReposeOne of the most fundamental difference between liquids and powders is that unlike liquid, whena powder is poured, it forms a heap. The heap makes an angle with the horizontal axis. Thisangle can be of any value, but by definition, can not exceed a maximum value called the angle ofrepose. If the angle of inclination of the heap increases beyond the angle to repose, the heap willcollapse to form a heap with sides which are less steep. It is generally believed that the angle ofrepose
