allocated funding to address diversity issues through specificrequests for proposals related to increasing diversity in science and engineering. NSF has alsoincluded diversity explicitly in the broader impacts criteria for all NSF proposals7.As colleges and universities strive to recruit and retain a more diverse student population inengineering, faculty need to become more aware of how to handle diversity issues within theirclassrooms. Therefore, it is important to encourage faculty to think more broadly about diversityissues. As researchers, we believe there are various ways to encourage educators to think anddiscuss the topic of diversity in engineering. Many universities offer campus-wide discussionforums and workshops that address the topic of

Many of these policies have been in place for several years,however, Bird and Debinski8 reported that faculty members have, in general, been slow to usethese policies. Quinn et al.9 found that utilization of family-friendly policies by faculty oftenrequired negotiation between the chair and faculty member on issues regarding eligibility to usepolicies, how to implement the policies at the department level, expectations in terms of service,teaching and research for part-time appointments, and how they will be evaluated during thetenure process.The young female faculty whom was hired for our new civil engineering in 2003 faced thisdilemma of feeling like she had

The affirmation by the National Research Council of the National Academies that innovative teaching in STEM courses requires time that exceeds normal course development, as well as additional funding [7]. Borrego [8] also mentions these same issues, among others, in stating that diffusion of educational innovations in engineering is a challenge that has defied a satisfactory solution for decades. 5.

This survey targeted STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math) faculty and included questions about mentoring, career satisfaction, andcareer relationships.

A report produced as a result ofthe project revealed four critical concerns. Among them, the question of fairness was the greatestoverall concern.

SDSU’s College of Engineering has sent several facultymembers to NETI over the last few years, an indicator of administration support forimproving the practice of teaching in engineering.Studies by Boice15 show that for 95% of new faculty members it takes four to five yearsof trial and error to become fully productive in research and effective in teaching.
