little experience in scholarship but wouldenjoy working with a faculty member on research and publications. There are small steps that newfaculty can take in their classes that will help students be better prepared for scholarship. Forexample, conversion of a class project report from a generic format to a journal paper formatintroduces students to a logical and structured way of presenting information coupled with a processof multiple revisions. Results of using such an approach in a third year technical class are presented.The students’ efforts resulted in a professional-looking paper and a sense of pride in the finalproduct.

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Optimizing Your Teaching Load AbstractThe teaching responsibilities of faculty members are worked out with their respectivedepartments and/or colleges. Teaching loads are usually fixed, but individual facultymay have options on how to meet that load. They may choose more or fewer differentcourses, multiple sections of an individual course, a combination of undergraduate andgraduate classes, or a combination of face-to-face and distance-education classes. Onthe assumption that new faculty can learn from the experience of others, a survey wasadministered to faculty from across the country, primarily in engineering

We used the model with engineeringfaculty at five institutions. The groups focused their work on the design andimplementation of research-based, interactive teaching strategies.The focus of this work is using ongoing faculty development as a means to broaden theuse of research-proven instructional practices in engineering courses. Jamieson andLohmann explain the need for pedagogical research to connect with the needs ofinstructors 1.
