I have been looking forward to seeing you all on this special occasion where we will be discussing the future of our students: the next generation of engineers. Today I am truly honored and excited to see so many of my colleagues and fellow professors here who are dedicated to this noble mission: to promote and ensure the excellence in engineering education. As the conference chair, I had the privilege to learn a lot about you, your work and contributions in your fields and your organizations. I am very proud to know that we have so many talented and dedicated individuals from diverse backgrounds coming together to achieve the same goals. I am sure together, we can make a

the combined effect of forces.While there are new ideas which are emphasized in engineering dynamics, instructors in thissubject inevitably find that some of students’ difficulties are rooted in ideas from Statics, such asfree body diagrams and working with forces. One of the most fundamental concepts in strengthof materials is that of internal loads and its relation to external loads. This idea is wholly withinthe domain of Statics, yet a concept inventory for mechanics of materials currently underdevelopment rightfully points to this as one of its core concepts1. Second, Statics, together withthese courses, forms the basis for much engineering design and practice. Again, instructors inengineering design2 lament the difficulties students

dramatic, challenge associated with succeeding as an engineering educator is thechallenge of knowing how to prioritize, so the right kinds of tasks get onto the “plates” in thefirst place.In Boice’s study of several first-year faculty members who had excelled in teaching, research,and publishing, he found that these faculty members had the ability to “balance” their workloads[2]. That is, they (i) set realistic time limits on teaching preparation, (ii) spent about 4-5 hoursper week on scholarly writing, and (iii) spent about 4-5 hours per week networkingprofessionally (on and off campus). In this paper, the authors provide seven strategies, or tips, fornew engineering educators (NEEs) that can help them manage their time and tasks, as well
