It is something that engineering education needs and should have, but it takes time, andspending too much time on teaching can be harmful to a professor’s career unless there is admin-istrative support.One simple, very real reason why some managers of engineering education emphasize researchat the expense of teaching excellence is that research is easier to measure.
