Although the impact of theprocrastination on student learning is widely debated, it has been correlated with a lack ofexternal (or self) regulation, motivation, and performance anxiety. These contributors stand incontrast to the commonly asserted issue: lack of time. A lecture-centric course provides limitedobservations for evaluating actual student

successful program and institution.ConclusionAcademic institutions provide such a diverse set of circumstances for entering educators, that a“one size fits all” solution is not realistic. However, numerous articles in the literature indicatethat institutions that have a mentoring program in place experience a higher rate of facultyperformance and satisfaction. The underlying benefit to the teaching faculty of having anofficial mentoring program is that it presents to the new faculty the image that the system has agenuine interest in supporting and nurturing them. The attitude of “sink or swim” is notacceptable if the goal is to recruit and retain the best teaching faculty for engineering andengineering technology.References1. Bova, B
