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
