They discovered the most critical flaw of existing student-focused simulators;students are not required to do calculations as part of the simulation. In addition, many simulatorsare inaccurate or incomplete, and do not adequately support student learning or provide acomprehensive learning experience. The more robust commercial simulators were discovered tobe too sophisticated, designed to meet the needs of researchers and engineers in industry whoenter and extract data, with no focus on teaching the concepts entry-level undergraduates or highschool students must grasp.

While this data is now somewhat old, there is littledoubt that it is still fairly close to the number of hours faculty actually work. In general, facultyput in long hours during the regular academic year.One way to characterize the work that faculty do is to look at their activities in terms of the usualcategories of teaching, scholarship and service.
