used in both an engineering communications course and an engineering ethics courseat a research institution. In this assignment, the Social Impact Analysis (SIA), students are askedto identify and research a current engineering design, product, or concept that is (or soon will be)impacting society. Prima facie, this assignment promises to help acquaint students with thecomplexity of deploying new technology in society (domestically or globally). The actual andpotential impacts of these technologies raise a host of ethical issues that are students must beaware of and engage. However, as analyses and discussions become more nuanced (in light ofcomplexity), they can also become more abstract and, therefore, less practically important tostudents

There were initially concerns by the instructor that he was not “doing his job”if he was not the one feeding information to the students. This highlights an issue thatcan hinder faculty adopting more interactive learning styles: the faculty must recognizethat his or her value as an instructor is not necessarily just as the source of informationconveyed via a lecture – that type of specific information can be provided in part throughreadings and assignments out of class. Rather, the more important value of the instructoris as one who leads students to discover knowledge and to engage in deeper thinkingabout material, and that this discovery and engagement can occur more

While a college degree can lead tomany benefits [6], the rise of online course providers such as Coursera, edX, MITOpenCourseWare [7] call into question whether the same knowledge and skills can be acquiredmore economically and effectively elsewhere [7-10].

We initiated three programs to facilitate newfaculty integration: a junior faculty advisory board, engineering-specific new faculty orientation,and a women in engineering research network.The junior faculty advisory board’s function is to advise the dean of significant issues facingindividual junior faculty or the entire cohort. The board is composed of at least one junior facultymember from each engineering department.

Dissatisfaction in such nonacademic affairs can be a serious detriment to progress at work, while hearing how others are dealing with the same issues can provide unexpected solutions to issues. Some of these concerns, such as which restaurants are good, may best be discussed outside of the new faculty meetings, with people who have lived in the area for a longer period of time. Other problems, such as how to help transition children to the new area, profit from discussion by others dealing with the same situation. ‚ What projects can we collaborate on?

Reflections largely dealtwith the various motivations of workshop attendees and their perceptions of the workshopexperience. While some concerns (e.g. time scarcity) remained constant throughout, thereflections also began displaying a greater sense of self-authorship by the mid-point of theworkshop. The changing motivations and perceptions of faculty workshop attendees have directimplications for how new faculty can be prepared for professional development activities; inparticular, experiences as workshop "students" can help

Faculty frustration is lower because students are responsible forinterpreting their own efforts. More and more faculty at The Citadel are implementing the dual-submission homework policy to the perceived improvement of their teaching effectiveness. Aspecific concern from a faculty member was that she would lose site of the struggling student.However, this is not an issue as it is still apparent to the faculty by reviewing the gradedsubmission. This approach reinforces to the student that completing homework is solely for thebenefit of the student.ConclusionThe results from this

The faculty are heavily involved inassessment of each course they teach [31]. One method of monitoring and tracking specificoutcomes very closely by the faculty is by using a checklist called the “course-outcomes trackingsheet,” shown in Figure 2 [31]. These tracking sheets provide a formal mechanism for identifyingnon-compliance with desired curricular outcomes. In addition, we needed to provideopportunities for the stakeholders in our enterprise (students, faculty, industry and alumni) toidentify issues of concern. Another method is to use an X-File.
