Although Twigg wrote this over a decade ago in the context of students, the quotecontinues to be relevant for formal and informal engineering faculty development programs.In this paper, I draw from the higher education faculty development literature and outline themerits of a faculty development program and how crucial these topics are for new engineeringfaculty members. I examine faculty development topics in the broader context than simplyteaching. Key sources of stress for new faculty members relate to finding time for research,effective teaching, the lack of collegial

In the U.S. in 2004 there were173 ABET-accredited computer engineering and related baccalaureate programs5, and 206ABET-accredited computer science baccalaureate programs4. (Computer Science programs wereinitially accredited starting in 1986 by the Computer Sciences Accreditation Board; ABET andCSAB “integrated” in 2002, with CSAB now existing as the lead professional society forcomputing and software engineering programs.) The early growth of both these programs,however, was at a slow rate:• From 1971 to 1979, the number of ABET-accredited computer engineering and
