Departments willfind dual career issues one of the top concerns for the recruitment and retention of faculty in the next ten tofifteen years. In fact, the issue is now rising beyond faculty hiring into the searches for department chairs,deans, vice presidents and presidents [5].In order to gain some insight into attributes of successful dual career searches, a survey was sent to dual careercouples at universities in the United States where both spouses were placed into tenure track faculty positions.Unfortunately, no data base of dual engineering faculty couples exists, and thus, the list was assembled frompersonal
