examine the practice of ranking undergraduate college and universityengineering programs and document whether those rankings track with the pedagogicaldevelopment of the discipline. On the one hand, one can successfully argue that overall researchexpenditures at the graduate level aid undergraduates by giving them access to cutting edgeresearch in their chosen discipline. On the other hand, the availability of research funds does notguarantee undergraduates access to research opportunities. Therefore we make the claim thatstudents in programs where the pedagogical development of the discipline is occurring willgenerally receive a better educational experience. It is our contention that faculty who drive theeducational resource development in

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Tricks of the Trade: Developing Research Funding AbstractBuilding a research group is an important determinant of career success. Maintaining acadre of students and assistants depends upon many factors, but perhaps none is soimportant as funding. Raising money takes time, a fact often bemoaned by professionalsacross the spectrum, from educators to politicians to missionaries. This paper presentsadvice from faculty who have been very successful in obtaining funding, including somewho have served for a time as NSF program officers. They advise that it’s important toserve on review panels to learn how the system works. Find out what each
