Many of these conversations happen in the sidelines atconferences, and specific examples in literature indicating the impediments to tenure are rare.Specific concerns, real or perceived, include and are not limited to, lack of funding opportunities,focus on applied research, difficulties in publishing results, high teaching expectation andteaching load [7].The requirements for tenure vary among institutions, and can vary from year to year within

Keepingthat in mind, 19 variables were selected, and Figure 3 makes it clear that these features were wellliked by the majority of the students. For example, around 90% of the students thought that thissystem provides better quality visuals and helps them review and remember material more easilythan the traditional textbook system. Most importantly, around 90% of the students believed thatthe outcomes of the web-based OER materials exceeded those of the traditional

4123 class managed to control costs quite well. Using hangers instead of rebar was onearea of cost savings. The hangers were purchased for $0.13 each from a local dry cleaner. Theywere a heavy-gage galvanized hanger, with a cost less than $5.00 to provide one hanger to eachof the 33 students! Concrete materials were generously donated by the Civil Engineeringdepartment. Due to the small scale of the beams (4”x3”x16”) and the fact that students workedin groups of three ensured the material costs were so minimal, the Civil Engineering departmentdid not mind donating these materials. Steel forms from the Civil Engineering department werealso lent to our project, allowing us to save time and money by not constructing a one-time useform for the

It provides feedback on the appearance, scale, material, andconstructability. This process can also be adopted as a teaching strategy in a classroom,especially when considering that a hands-on learning experience increases student engagementand information retention.
