Tablet PC usage in upper level courses and in other departments hasbeen mixed and slower to develop than in the entry level courses taught by the Department ofEngineering Fundamentals. A similar trend has also been the case in other schools with TabletPC programs.Some preliminary research and anecdotal evidence indicates that simple introductory seminarsare not sufficient to provide faculty with knowledge and resources to effectively use Tablet PCsin the classroom. The authors, both members of the Department of Engineering Fundamentals,developed both a two hour introductory seminar for faculty on use of Tablet PCs, and a followup summer workshop entitled: “Tablet Faculty Learning Community” (TFLC).

This paper offers a model for effectivefaculty mentoring and support programs developed by the authors for the SoutheasternUniversity and College Coalition for Engineering Education (SUCCEED).What is the typical situation for new faculty? Sorcinelli1 reports on a variety of single-year andlongitudinal studies in which untenured faculty in their first 3-4 years report higher stress levelsthan tenured faculty. She identifies five triggers for stress in new faculty: (1) not enough time,(2) inadequate feedback and recognition, (3) unrealistic self-expectations, (4) lack of collegiality

This paper draws on data from a larger in-progress design-based research study onthe development of cross-course ePortfolios through an optional experience designed for second-year mechanical engineering students. Through a lens of expectancy value theory, an initialanalysis was done on seven faculty interviews to shed light on some of the reasons whyePortfolios have not been widely adopted in engineering education.

and taught. That is to say, a good faculty development program can cutseveral years off the normal faculty learning curve.Hutchings8 states that engaging in a cycle of inquiry and improvement allows teachers toidentify and investigate questions that they care about in their students’ learning. Thisallows them to implement this knowledge in the form of new curricula, new assessmentsand assignments, and new pedagogies, which in turn become subjects for further inquiry.This cycle of improvement becomes a powerful way for faculty to grow as professionalsover time. This is work that can be done independently by engineering faculty, but havingthe support of other faculty encourages such work. Formal faculty development centers

The interviews were transcribedverbatim and analyzed using MAXQDA software. Based on our field notes, we developedbroad, a priori coding categories to apply to the interviews to identify ways that teamwork andcommunication skills are taught 31. These categories included Structured Activities, Ad HocActivities, and Reliance on Others. We also include the category “Don’t Teach” for faculty thatstated they do not believe they teach such skills. After applying the broad codes to allinterviews, we developed more

In thisstudy, we are interested in developing a preliminary understanding of the views about teacherempathy among engineering faculty. The research question that guides this work is, how doengineering faculty members define, understand, and value teacher empathy?

While peer review is considered “good” practice by both faculty andadministration (when conducted properly), a formal well-structured program for peer review has neverbeen set into practice.
