We know from our own faculty that they do value teaching and student learning. They agree that the non-technical, leadership

These schemes can include seed funding and larger research team awards. Seed funding should be available only once to a faculty member. b. Ensure that adequate space, lab and other necessary research facilities are made available. It is important that impediments to research activity are identified and removed so as to ensure that faculty see that the research agenda is a college priority.Academic Management Initiatives:10.

These attributes becameapparent as we researched other programs to look for ideas and partners. 1. ownership: who has direct responsibility for the program in terms of content, recruiting, logistics, etc. a. internal: college of engineering or department b. external: another unit on campus
