Understandingthat success for engineers comes in many forms, it often follows those that are able to apply theirtechnical skills in concert with a strong foundation in other skills that are fundamental to practicing theirprofession. “The practice of engineering involves significant interaction with subjects that fall outsidethose traditionally associated with engineering.” 1 For this reason it is appropriate that educators affordstudents the means to gain “the knowledge and skills that are fundamental to the practice

Unfortunately, most universityfaculty have not had any formal training on classroom management. Consequently, manyare left on their own to figure out how to competently teach and manage their students’behavior and performance1. Often, faculty resort to trial and error experimentation, withsome imitating the techniques used by experienced colleagues or former instructors.Fortunately, successful classroom management skills can be learned and developed.
