; entrepreneurshipBACKGROUNDExamining faculty development in practice, it is natural to look at it logically. Important questions related tothe logic are why, how, and who. Why it is being conducted? What is the aim of the development activity?How is it being conducted? Do the means of faculty development suit the objective, and is there evidencethat the means is effective? Who is doing the developing, and who is being developed? Is it being drivenby faculty themselves, or by peers, older faculty, or administrators? Are the people engaged in facultydevelopment even aware that this is what they or doing, or does it happen so naturally that they areunaware?Engineering education literature on faculty development reveals that often its purpose is the adoption ofpedagogical

Dr. Giancola’s current work focuses on developing methodological processes to embed evaluation into human services programs, such that program development can be driven by reliable and valid information and impact findings can be properly interpreted. Much of her work employs theory-based methods, not to replace rigorous research designs, but rather to supplement, in order to better understand implementation and effectiveness. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 ADVANCE Women’s Leadership at the University of Delaware

spring of 2009-2010, an introductory environmental engineeringcourse was re-designed to include four new environmental laboratory modules that use aninquiry-based “open” experiment for enhanced student learning. This research was fundedthrough the NSF Innovations in Engineering Education (IEECI) program to develop modulesutilizing the pedagogy of problem-based learning and case studies to teach new environmentalsustainable design concepts. Problem based learning (PBL) and case studies are novelapproaches for laboratory modules. In PBL and case studies, students are assigned real-worldproblems to discuss, research, and solve as teams.

We have to explain them in a manner where the average personwho doesn't know a thing about goal programming can understand. This is the Achilles heel ofmany engineers, they can explain in great technical details to their peers but when it comes toexplaining an idea or concept to a non-technical group or individual they do not know how torelate. The portfolio also helps to improve on our organizational skills.

Some engineering solutions require that students creatediagrams/graphs that are the solution being submitted. Many learning management systems(LMS) are not able to provide automated try-again feedback on these types of solutions andtherefore the effectiveness of try-again feedback is minimized for graphical solutions. Graphicaluser interfaces (GUIs) are interfaces where a computer allows a student to interact with graphicscontrolled by the user through underlying code. GUIs can be programmed in many computerlanguages. This work uses Matlab GUIs to present students with shear and moment diagramproblems that are interactive with the graphical solutions. A

Furtherlimitations in particular relate to the study lacking prolonged engagement with participants orpersistent observation in which the knowledge transfer process might be examined in differentcontexts within engineering.

None of these languages are ideal for small embeddedsystems, which require the reliability provided by object-oriented programming without theoverhead of a high-level language (such as Java).
