Faculty members often face the difficult task of trying to balance the several activitiesthey need for professional advancement * such as research and undergraduate teaching * with a host of newactivities their colleagues, students and the public expect them to accomplish. These can include curriculadevelopment, interdisciplinary collaboration, work with industry, development of continuing education programs,community outreach, and mentoring of other faculty members and students. As engineering colleges developinstitutional missions, they have an opportunity to recraft their faculty reward system to better synchronized facultyrewards with their new, or re-affirmed
