of abilities required to succeed professionally in theinformation age. The top four of these skills include critical thinking, creative thinking,collaboration, and communication [1]. In a typical engineering education curriculum, criticalthinking is addressed effectively. Also, students develop their collaboration skills via project-basedcourses that have become increasingly widespread in engineering education in the last twodecades. Furthermore, communication skills are often addressed through the inclusion of atechnical communication course or by otherwise satisfying the communication component ofestablished general education requirements. Laboratory experiences and project-based coursesemphasize the development of technical communication

The Role of Adjunct Faculty in Undergraduate Engineering Education: A Cohort Needed to Enhance the Practice Waddah Akili Geotechnical EngineeringAbstract:This paper examines the status quo of adjunct faculty in engineering institutions and argues thatadjuncts could enrich an academic engineering program by bringing in their practical experienceand by introducing relevant applications and design venues to the classroom. Adjunct faculty doalso help in setting up linkages with the industrial sector, which often leads to: employmentopportunities for graduates, co-op activities, and potential development of collaborative researchprograms.

2.6. ConclusionThe QFT was demonstrated to be a robust strategy to develop higher order thinking skills,collaboration skills, and to facilitate student-centered, independent learning and research. Thepresent work focuses on Renewable Energy Engineering topics, but the methodology can beapplied to Engineering education in general, and in disparate disciplines and subject areas.Breaking down a long-term goal (e.g. term paper) into frequent and periodic deliverablesenhances student’s accountability, confidence, and learning skills, while also mitigatingplagiarism. Students’ overall view of the cultivated learning environment is well represented bythe positive influence on course evaluations.It is advisable to make students familiar with the
resilience has emerged to define the ability of systems to adapt to unintended hazards andshocks. With the growing number of global weather related challenges resulting from climatechange, resilience engineering has emerged as a key term in the development agenda of worldorganizations and has even been considered to be the engineering challenge of the 21st Century.While the appearance of resilience engineering is recent and has not been widely introduced intoengineering curriculum, it appears to be on the rise as an area of definite importance for currentand future engineers. A review of current literature on the engineering design process inengineering education, sustainability engineering education and engineering resilience wasconducted. The

As we note in an upcomingpublication : “distinction [segregation within and between disciplines] removes individuals fromeasily creating collaborations within their discipline, and even has the ability to create a dividebetween subdisciplines.” This institutionalization of individualism within the academy, whichBennett [7] elucidates can then have the ability to facilitate faculty isolation.Similarly, while not focused on the field of engineering, Leslie D.
