Society for Engineering Education, 2012 Parallel Simulation of Many-core Processors: Integration of Research and EducationAbstractProviding undergraduate students with an opportunity to experience meaningful academicresearch has a potential impact on their future career choice. Our approach combines twoseemingly contradicting attributes: (i) to make it exciting, the effort targets a grand researchobjective; and (ii) to make the experience self-assuring and overall positive, the concrete taskhanded to a student is feasible, given their background and time constraints, while stillcontributing towards the grand objective. We believe that this can motivate a wider range ofundergraduate students, including

Tenure and Education: Focusing on Research at the Expense of PracticeAbstractHiring practices for academia have traditionally focused on doctorate level candidates, butallowed for masters level work with equivalent practical experience, especially for teachinginstitutions. Current trends in hiring seem to be increasing the need for a doctorate in order toteach, primarily as teaching institutions begin to apply research-level criteria to their hiringpolicies.It appears that few institutions are willing to ask whether this trend is good, and are quick to useage-old arguments to justify the escalation. The question should be posed if this is a prudentcourse of action, especially in a time when engineering graduates in the United
