We should hope so, but as engineering programsare under pressure to demonstrate that their students have knowledge of contemporaryissues, have an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, have an ability towork within political/economic/social constraints, etc., the question that needs to beanswered is: Where does calligraphy fit into ABET’s Criterion 3(a-k) outcomes?Jobs ended his story by reiterating: Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in

Discussions with variouslevels of faculty members, new through emeritus, reveal that each recalls that the transition toacademic life is challenging. Productivity quotas to ensure tenure at universities are increasing; itis critical that the challenging or opaque aspects of transition to an academic career are removedor made transparent. The goal of this paper is to identify the challenges facing new facultymembers and provide tools to ease some of those challenges during the first critical years offaculty development.

activities. At first it was difficultto distinguish between the diverse responses so the expertise of the subject experts wasemployed to help decide the level of transfer for each artefact. However some studentsmerely mimicked what they were shown while others pushed the level of their understandingand experimented to explore the boundaries of their capability. This aligns with theconstructivist belief that knowledge is not transmitted but constructed through hands onactivities or personal experience which generates knowledge. It was also found that certainactivities allowed for a greater depth of experimentation than others. This has an impact onthe pedagogical approach taken by educators and highlights the importance when allowingstudents to
