The types and kinds of information sources vary depending upon the area beingevaluated, namely whether one is looking at teaching, scholarship, or service. One sourcenormally common to all three of these is a self-report from the faculty member describing his orher accomplishments in each of these areas over the period for which they are being evaluated.Another common source of information is peer review.

The goals of the fall segment were as follows: (1) to give the students the opportunity todocument their summer research experience, (2) to teach the students how to make a professionalpresentation, and (3) to teach the students how to document a project in a poster and a formalarticle. As is common in technical communication courses, all of the class periods were devotedto lessons on technical communication.

Life as an engineering faculty member requires thewriting and review of two major documents in their own lives: the thesis and the dissertation. Eventhe youngest assistant professor has been closely connected to writing a spectacular document andwhat it means to do so. It would be an interesting study to see how many faculty members nevermade a comment on the theses and dissertations of their own students.Faculty members should think beyond the technical assignments that are given to students to issuesthat are raised in their own writing and
