incentives offered by the college’s teaching and learningcenter. A sense of community yet autonomy also encouraged faculty to participate. Barriersincluded implementation ambiguity, time required to implement and to prepare, and a perceivedlack of expertise in some of topics involved in the innovation such as ethics. Faculty resistance tochange, the logistical concerns of the course, and characteristics of the university, as well asinterpersonal dynamics also impacted the likelihood of adoption. The results are discussed in termsof implications for faculty developers and teaching and learning centers.Introduction and Literature ReviewIn the past several decades, engineering education has seen a significant increase in the amount ofresearch and

, simulations, or discussions).This expectation brings attention to the need for the development of pedagogical competencesamong both engineering instructors and students in order to implement new learning andteaching strategies and provide relevant educational experiences to all learners [18].Recommended learner-centered strategies in engineering education include problem-basedlearning, hands-on activities, peer instruction, collaboration between teachers, and a multilayeredapproach to assessment [18]. With most engineering doctoral programs focusing on preparingthe next generation of researchers, there are few instances where future professors and instructorsare being adequately trained in engineering pedagogy. Further, engineering faculty may not

] reinforce the challengesregarding the increased competition in research funding as well as the changing fabric of theacademic identity at the Associate Faculty rank, requiring for increased collaboration. Oncefaculty achieve tenure they face a different set of pressures, including questions about identity,impact, leadership, and legacy [2]. Kiernan Mathews highlighted that The Collaborative onAcademic Careers in Higher Education (COACHE), based at Harvard Graduate School ofEducation, finds that the experienced associate professor (at that rank for more than 5 years) isless satisfied with his or her institution and department than is the recently tenured associateprofessor [4].

Minter[1] points out that as universities (and engineering colleges) moveinto the 21st century, they will find more accountability placed upon them by the public, students,accreditation agencies, and employers. Further, the universities will have to justify the costs ofeducation and assure the quality of education being delivered. That would require a harmoniousrelationship between the delivery and feeder functions. In the context of Indian engineering institutions, this is critically required since theemployability of their graduates is abysmally low at 18% [2]. Moreover, engineering academicinstitutions are
