It is anincreasing concern that the traditional lecture-based instruction is failing to fulfill the needsof development of active learning skills of engineering students in Taiwan. Through a carefulliterature review, this paper first summarizes the crucial events in engineering education thatled to the formation, implementing, and assessing of a team-based faculty

In the fall of 2004, baseline datawas collected concerning both student and faculty attitudes at CSM with respect to servicelearning activities using the “Community Service Attitude Scale” (CSAS). This instrument wasdeveloped and validated by Shiarella, McCarthy and Tucker8, but had not been used prior to thecurrent efforts to measure attitudes within engineering education.Based on the 2004 data, Bauer et al.6 completed and published a comparative analysis of studentand faculty attitudes with respect to community service. This analysis indicated that faculty hadmore positive

Results for each topic area are shown inthe Figures 3-5.In the first case, “brief mentions” are not significantly different across change in expectation, butthere was a strong association between “discussed in detail” (the more this occurred, the morepositive the change in expectation).

They issued a call to arms for a revolution in the culture and curriculum ofcomputer science that will encompass and respect the contributions that women can make to thediscipline.As young women grow older, fewer of them express interest in studying STEM subjects. Theliterature refers to a “leaky” pipeline of women from elementary school through graduate studiesand employment, eventually leading to their under-representation in the STEM professions.36If we are to have faculty prepared to educate the new generation of engineers and technologyprofessionals, we must make encourage and support all faculty, paying particular attention tothose groups most likely to leave before

I felt that my Boeing experience helped me recognize theimportance of having processes in place. It also showed me the importance of continuousfeedback. The result in our department has been a major revamping of our undergraduatecore curriculum.The use of instituting processes and continuous quality improvement has led to animproved undergraduate program.

One faculty member mentionedthat neither they nor their associated graduate students or collaborative researchers have theskills, resources, and time available to organize data in a meaningful way. For some AE faculty,such an organization project would not be worth the effort anyway: “[If] we think the data's not really going to be used, and we're the only ones who's going to use it, that's a lot of effort to go to make all that information and organize it and then it's a waste of time if no one does it.

The survey did not definewhat was meant by formal or informal, so this is clearly an issue that requires somefurther clarification. However, it is clear that an effective mentoring program can at thevery least supplement any formal training in the areas of both teaching and research, andmay well serve as an alternative to more formal development offerings in these areas.Nearly 60% of the respondents provided some form of assistance for the professionaldevelopment of faculty (indicated in the survey as “e.g. getting their PE or obtainingspecialty certification”).

This includes adapting teaching methods to meet the diverse needs ofstudents, bridging gaps in knowledge, and providing support for those who may bedisadvantaged by existing structures. However, faculty participants also raised concerns aboutdisparities in access to opportunities, continued gender and racial underrepresentation, and lackof visible diversity in leadership. The faculty participants’ motivation to enhance their equitableteaching skills is being driven by their concerns for addressing these issues, for both themselvesand within the engineering field, so that all

College isthe price you have to pay to become a professional.” If students perceive their collegework this way, then the faculty is not doing his/her job properly. College Education ismore than an investment. It is an open ended process- it is a journey that should beenjoyed irrespective of the final destination (1).An assertion of students’ self-confidence: Students’ performance on tests andhomework is not the main issue in teaching. The important issue is how well the studentslearn to approach a problem or a situation, particularly a new one.

The model involves moving traditional lecture material outside theclassroom and practical application of newly learned ideas into the class meeting times. In theinverted model, the course concepts, theory, or equations are presented in various media –videos, readings, notes – prior to the class contact time. Application of those new ideas iscultivated during the class time through faculty-directed problem solving
