Priggereiterates the risks for universities that the earlier article introduces, and does note that inacademe, concerns are rising that these partnerships are altering the academic norm of opendiscovery and publishing and creating a culture that is more market driven, or “entrepreneurial”[1]. These concerns are especially prevalent in STEM fields, which is also the area identified ashosting the

Once again theAdvisory Board of the Leonhard Center has played a key role in bringing this question into sharpfocus and in helping us think through how we can address it. From strategic discussions amongAdvisory Board members and the leadership of the College, we have begun to develop plans toapproach this question via two avenues – a new course that emphasizes key organizational andleadership skills for the global workplace and a more

attitudes toward teaching and research. Establishing experience in industry as animportant criterion in hiring new faculty may be fundamental to changing the existing cultureand to placing greater emphasis on teaching.8 Schools are being asked to enrich the educationof students, and this can be done by increasing the numbers of faculty with relevant industrialexperience. Integral to accomplishing our educational goals is having the participation ofpractitioners in the educational process. It cannot hurt to have faculty with practitionerexperience in the classroom on a daily basis. Engineering education must reflect the conditionsof practice.According to many, the cornerstone of building a strong education curriculum is balancingpractical experience

CurrentlyEF1015 is designed to introduce students to the engineering disciplines and to aspects of theengineering profession. The course uses various types of problems, from multiple disciplines, toengage the new engineering student in standard problem solving techniques. By altering some ofthe problems to include green content, the concerns of green engineering can be presented to thestudents as a common aspect of engineering problem solving, rather than as a separate topic.Through EF1015 and EF1016, the Division is the bridge to all degree granting departmentswithin the

This may be due, in part, to the continual "crises" that portraythe state of higher education.

Sincethis is a totally new program and interdisciplinary in nature, finding faculty with appropriatebackground and interests can be difficult. While the program faculty will grow by acquiring newhires, this fact is not a panacea. Finding appropriate new faculty is not easy. If the new peopleare too practical, they may not be able to be successful in achieving tenure. If they are tooacademic in a traditional field, they may not have the ability to function well in thisinterdisciplinary milieu.How the program is being initiated is an element of great concern.

Herein, ethical becoming is less concerned with compliance and duty and more focusedon exploring how one should live, participate, and interact with others along an “experientialcontinuum.” As one enters new experiences, one encounters different potentialities that, throughcare and concern, are selected for actualization or rejected (see Whitehead [20]). Thisactualization or becoming may refer to an individual subject’s fashioning, or even the making ofcontext-appropriate designs to address an identified problem. Following Dewey [21], since oneof an educator’s primary tasks is assembling the most efficient environment for “growth,” thisframework seeks to address: how does the STEM educator transform their pedagogicalapproaches and

Concerns with course performance often related to thestudents’ ability to grasp the information being taught online, being motivated to put in a fulleffort, and students’ inability to discuss with peers the concepts being taught.
