doctoral degrees and professional licensure.For engineering programs, minimum degree requirements and amounts of professionalengineering experience are not stated. The criteria allow faculty of different academicbackgrounds and experience levels to work together in an engineering program, in order tobest meet the needs of students and the objectives of the program. Thus, faculty withstrong research credentials are appropriate for teaching courses focusing on theoreticalengineering fundamentals, while faculty possessing significant design experience areappropriate for teaching design and professional practice courses.Other Professions and Their Use of Practicing ProfessionalsIn discussing the role of practicing engineers in engineering education

An area often overlooked is formal safetytraining as safety is often viewed as an impedance to research or addressed only when correctionis needed (Cooper 2016). Typically, only minimum safety training is provided at the universityor college level with introductory on-line modules or videos. This approach addresses safetycompliance issues more than actual application risks. Taking time for safety education isimportant for understanding safety applications, risks, and building a culture of safety.
