members do not requireexternal awards for their motivation, they are far fewer in number. We argue that majority ofthe faculty members move up the ladder of motivation only when they receive externalrewards. We verified this premise by conducting a survey of 22 faculty members at aworkshop on engineering education. We asked them to rate the statement, ‘A proper rewardand recognition system must be developed at colleges’ on the Likert scale of 1 to 5 andreceived the rating of 4.54, which underlines the desperate need for an award system.Richardson, et al. conducted a study to find the factors that influence faculty motivationwherein they spoke to 26 faculty members at a college across ranks, genders anddepartments.

faculty members’ particular strengths are in each of these areas. For example,a community college will tend to weigh teaching the heaviest while a Research I institution willtend to weigh scholarship the heaviest. Alternatively, a faculty member whose strength is inresearch may wish to weigh the area of scholarship more heavily while it would be veryappropriate for a teacher at a community college to give more weight to the area of teaching.The College of Applied Science and Technology (COAST) at Weber State University (WSU)has come up with an approach that allows for the weighting of these three aspects of evaluation.It further allows the institution to develop an appropriate range of weights and the facultymember to determine what the weights
