Moving beyond the idea that performing service takes time, below Ioffer thoughts on which types of service can be particularly beneficial to a new engineeringfaculty member’s career, and which may be harmful to a career if they are not done.University Service:University service activities generally fall into one of two categories: (1) activities needed to bedone to keep the department/college/university functioning and (2) activities designed toimprove the student experience. Clearly, both of these categories are important in their ownways. With regards to the first category, it is likely that someone on campus will be agreeable toserving on a committee or to

The time horizon is generally immediate instead of long term.The correct definition of pleasure is the difficulty issue for this approach. Pleasure basedethical systems sometimes form the basis for compromise, rightly or wrongly. In a democratic society, utilitarianism (number 7) seems to take precedenceamong items 1 through 9, perhaps because it defers the fundamental issue of what is“good.” Utilitarianism approaches form the basis of modern public administration.

The instrumentation needed for technical training is not generally available in an undergraduate learning environment.Based on institutional strengths in research and teaching, UIC Bioengineering and BiologicalSciences faculty have met these challenges by:1. Organizing an undergraduate course track in neural engineering that spans three departments and two colleges.2. Developing a capstone course for this track, in which prerequisite knowledge is synthesized and applied in a model approach to problems in neural engineering. Page 7.77.3

The three models are 1) reality, 2) mental models, and 3)engineering/math models.
