Consider‘recruiting’ in Africa. Companies compete for too few graduates, create turnover for each other,and escalate wages for their industries to the point that growth stalls and/or they decide to leavethe country or region for lower-wage greener pastures. Competitors are finding that only bycooperating to optimize for a larger labor pool – one that will benefit not only the country, theuniversities and the graduates, but also their

Engineering Education, 2014 Faculty of Practice: Female Faculty Boundary Spanners Offering & Gaining PerspectiveAbstract Universities seem to be reviving their interest in engaging industrial concerns and newlyspecialized fields of study. Among engineering schools, there is an increased dialogue aroundthe desire for greater connections with industry with the goal of seeking richer understanding ofactual engineering practice. In the classroom, pedagogies of engagement and active learningoften demand “in context” learning scenarios to provide students with authentic engineeringexperiences guided by those experienced in education. This quest for collaboration andauthenticity is also seen in calls for funding

facilitators. The topicsof CCAC-LC included climate science/mitigation, climate adaptation, climate justice,interdisciplinary collaboration in teaching climate change, narrative approaches to teaching, andstudent climate anxiety and engagement/action. One of the objectives of the learning community,and its primary deliverable, was for the participants to produce a climate change module orcourse revision that engages in a significant way with climate change and constitutes at least 10%of the material covered in the course.It is not easy to bring changes to a curriculum, be it developing a new course or adding a newmodule into a course. Faculty must often artfully juggle a heavy workload that involves somecombination of teaching, research and/or service
factors and conditions that lead engineers to feelhappiness at work and examines how feeling happy at work impacts engineers. It draws onthe body of literature published in the past ten years on this topic and includes a meta-analysis of the literature itself, identifying the geographical regions and industries thathave been researched during that time period. The antecedents of happiness for engineersat work are varied, and include factors such as amount of responsibility, level ofcompensation, and relationships with co-workers. It demonstrates that happier engineersare more productive, producing better products with fewer mistakes. Very little researchhas been done on this topic, and the literature is highly international—half of the
growth. This perspective isfundamental to deep and lasting learning that persists after the final exam [2-4].In this paper we show that ungraded classrooms have significant potential as a vehicle toenhance engineering education as it models the learning and development of experts. We do thisthrough presentation of student response to ungraded classrooms in terms of both studentopinions and in comparison, of graded instruments.The ExpertConsider a practicing engineer, who is a subject matter expert of renown in industry andrespected by academic peers.

Prince and Felder(2006, 2007) provide extensive evidence that a variety of inquiry-based instructional methods areeffective for promoting conceptual understanding as well as additional educational outcomes. Theframework adopted for the activities presented in this study drew heavily on the Workshop Physicsmodel, the defining elements of which (Laws et al., 1999) are shown in Table 1.
