The faculty portfoliodescribed later in this work serves as part of that evidence.Continuous improvement process development and implementationAt the departmental level, a continuous improvement process based on the strategies listed belowhas been proposed in order to engage faculty in continuous improvement. The proposal is basedon the premise that after reflecting, a faculty member will improve her or his course and teachingpractices. These strategies constitute part of the faculty continuous improvement process shownin Figure 1.Strategy #1 – Faculty PortfolioStrategy #2 – Peer discussion

, which made many faculties becomeunconcern to teaching. They know the fact that teaching should be equitable with research, butthey cannot help putting priority on research. Faculty’s indifference to quality teaching has beenproblematic, which has lowered students’ motivation to study engineering. That leads to theslowing down industrial and technological development steadily. As Ernest Boyer, the president of Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching,asked the higher education community to consider expanding the meaning of scholarshipcriticizing the research oriented trends, the Korean engineering community strived to improve theengineering education level as well as research.

Diversity and Inclusion and Research Partnership Development: Can Seed Investments Really Help Promote Trans-Institutional Collaborations?AbstractA major research institute within a large land-grant university seeks to foster collaborationsbetween research faculty at the land-grant institution and faculty and students at HistoricallyBlack Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). Not only isthe intent to help initiate and foster these research collaborations, but to advise HBCUs/MSIsstudents of the myriad of opportunities available to them to include experiential learningopportunities, undergraduate and graduate laboratory access, summer research programs,available scholarships and exposure to the graduate
come up in a class is “Using intellectual conflict as a teaching method toencourage cognitive development and critical thinking.” [5] It is an engaging and importantmethod, and does meet the need for diverse perspectives, but it can make studentsuncomfortable, especially if they have personal experiences that relate to the topic, or if somestudents propose ideas that others reject, so to some extent this method may be in conflict withrespect for students as individuals, and faculty need to think through this. Another issue might bewriting recommendation letters for a student who you feel is less than stellar. You can reject therequest, but if you take it, honesty suggests that you should say what you know about the student.But there are also
cooperativeeducation activities, this practice has not been widely embraced by faculty members themselves.The need, however, is self-evident for faculty teaching in the applied engineering areas. Buthow are professional relationships established to enable a formalized internship program forfaculty? What are the advantages of internship participation for both the faculty and thecorporation? What are the steps in developing a faculty internship program? How can the “realworld” experience be incorporated into the classroom setting to enhance education? Thesequestions illustrate the critical issues surrounding the design of such a program. Throughcareful planning and design, however, the corporate world and the academic world can form apartnership to create
emphasis on research, particularly in larger institutions, which causesfaculty to move away from student-oriented activities such as advising, student development anduse of active learning.2 Another factor, which has driven costs up, is that institutions havetraditionally spent all they could. The cost of educating a student depended on how much moneywas available, not necessarily the costs of producing an educated student. Finally it is also claimedthat sabbaticals, administrative leave and tenure have also increased costs. Of these, tenure inparticular is blamed because it has come to mean lifetime employment where tenured facultybecome a permanent part of the institution s payroll.5 In 1996, 57.6% of all faculty in highereducation institutions
will focus on what has been done at UD – andwhat else needs to be done – to support faculty development of its NTT faculty. It will alsoreport on other institutions that are working to carve a place in academe for a new type of facultyposition – one that deserves equal access to many of the benefits enjoyed by tenured and tenure-track faculty.IntroductionThe number of faculty positions off the tenure track at U.S. colleges and universities has been fordecades growing at a faster rate than the number of positions on the tenure track. As a result,between 1995 and 2011, the proportion of tenured/tenure-track (T/TT) faculty positions at 4-yearinstitutions in the U.S. dropped from around 53% to 39%. During this same time, the proportionof faculty
