However, adoption of technologytools for widespread use is often conceived from a turn-key lens, with professional developmentfocused on procedural competencies and fidelity of implementation as the goal (Mills & Ragan,2000; O’Donnell, 2008). Educators are given the tool with initial operating instructions, then lefton their own to implement it in particular instructional contexts. There is little emphasis on theinevitable instructional decisions around incorporating the tool (Hodge, 2019) or on sustainableincorporation of technologies into existing instructional practice (Forkosh-Baruch et al., 2021).We consider the take-up of a technology tool as an emergent, rather than a prescribed process(Henderson et al., 2011).

They are alsogetting more attention in manufacturing engineering technology programs because of thedevelopment of emerging technologies in Industry 4.0 arena. From laptops, computers,cellphones, modern day vehicles, and smart refrigerators, these devices require a certain level ofnetworking to communicate with other devices, whether it be locally or worldwide. Theobjective of networking courses in an electrical engineering program is to demonstrate conceptssuch as local-area networks (LANs), wide-area networks (WANs), network topologies, datatransmission, wireless communication protocols, supporting industry-related devices such asradio
opportunities for scholarly publications, facultyshould look to new and emerging technologies where significant interest exists in industry. 20Limitations exist, however, on using consulting experiences as a means of professionaldevelopment. New faculty should fully understand their institution’s position on professionalpublications resulting from consulting experiences.5 Consulting and industrial experiences areoften documented in practice-based publications such as conference proceedings. These types ofpublications will not carry the same weight as peer-reviewed journal articles when consideringpromotion and tenure at research institutions. Therefore, relying too much on consulting relatedpublications is not recommended for faculty at institutions
