Maximizing Your Productivity as a Junior Faculty Member: Balancing Research, Teaching, and Service Lori Mann Bruce, J.W. Bruce Mississippi State UniversityAbstractThe majority of new engineering educators are confronted with two daunting challenges: (1)wisely select the tasks on which they spend time and energy and (2) effectively manage theirtime and energy in order to maximize their productivity. In this paper, the authors suggest seven“tricks of the trade” designed to help a new faculty member achieve their tenure and/orpromotion requirements while balancing their research, teaching, and service workloads. Theseseven strategies are aimed at
society; and 3) toincrease students’ awareness of cultural differences by considering their own culture fromanother’s perspective and thereby develop a global view of research.Introduction Research has shown that research experiences play a critical role in introducingundergraduates to the culture of graduate school and research [1]. Research experiences exposeundergraduate students to the creativity of the research process and enable them to apply formalcourse knowledge. Additionally, undergraduate research experiences encourage students topursue graduate education and have been considered effective in attracting and retaining studentsin a variety of science and engineering careers. According to Dr. James McCullough, formerDirector of
case studies are presented fromthe student perspective, focusing on the educational and professional benefits to students whohave worked on these projects. Keywords: Industrial Projects, Undergraduate Research, Pharmaceutical Industry1. Introduction Undergraduate engineering and technology students benefit from “real-world” experienceswhich are usually obtained through internship and co-op experiences. Through these workexperiences, students have the opportunity to apply their technical skills to industrially-relevantproblems, gain exposure to company culture, and build a foundation which helps providemotivation for future learning in an academic environment. While these “real-world”experiences are highly valuable to students, they are
