graduates, co-op activities, and potential development ofcollaborative research programs. Unfortunately, adjuncts are marginalized by the academicsystems in place today; and their contributions to the academic process are undervalued. Next,the paper reports on the success story of an adjunct, a practitioner with good credentials, who“teamed-up” with a “full-time” faculty, in an attempt to bring the practice to 4 thyear students in ageotechnical/ foundation engineering class. The success achieved in meeting course objectives,as a result of practitioner’s role, was attributed, in large measure, to proper planning andcoordination that preceded course delivery. Plus, the willingness, experience and abilities of theadjunct in addressing the practice in
Society for Engineering Education, 2019Adaptable and Agile - Programs to Meet Emerging Workforce NeedsBackgroundMuch has been written regarding the shifting nature of the workforce and the skills needed tocontribute to the workforce of the future. Common themes include increased technologyadoption, data analytics, changing distribution and value chains, and changes in patterns of work[1] and [2]. Much has also been written on the need for colleges and universities to adapt tochanging demographics and evolving needs of business and industry [3] and [4].The traditional engineering disciplines have served the workforce well and have alloweduniversities to provide known pathways to students seeking engineering degrees.

Education, 2020 Online Professional Development for Embedding Industry Credentials in Engineering CurriculaIntroduction As the number of industry credentials embedded in engineering curricula increase, facultymust obtain these credentials to facilitate integration of the affiliated learning objectives inexisting coursework. While short-term, intensive professional development workshops have beenused as “bootcamps” to quickly teach faculty the body of knowledge associated with thecredential, these training sessions require time and often travel expenses. Additionally, thefaculty must complete any necessary testing to obtain the credential in a timely manner.Professional development for these credentials and
