Thealignment of the learning objectives with faculty and student responses is a positive one for us.Second, multiple departments being concerned with items beyond retention is positive, as itmeans they understand the purpose of a FYE program is not limited to enrollment numbers.

Previousinvestigations showed that some impediments include lack of funding opportunities, highteaching expectation and teaching load, as well as lack of quality students to employ for researchand as teaching assistants [5, 6]. Comparison of perceptions of these impediments pre and posttenure among faculty has not been performed.Requirements for tenure vary between institutions, and even between academic units within thesame institution. In addition, guidelines for tenure are often

The need to raise awareness about theenvironmental impact of decisions in manufacturing and product design should be at theforefront of curriculum enhancement efforts. Industrial Engineers are typically viewed as“systems thinkers” and need to analyze the larger eco-system when new designs are putin place. Thus, the systems-approach to environmentally responsible design andmanufacturing has a natural place in the Industrial Engineering curriculum.The challenge to engineering faculty may
