AB  - Choosing The Road Less Traveled: Ten Years LaterLisa Bullard, Penny Knoll, Ann SaterbakNorth Carolina State University / Montana State University / Rice UniversityIn 2002 the authors presented an ASEE paper entitled, “Choosing the Road Less Traveled:Alternatives to the Tenure Track.” In this paper, three engineering educators with less than threeyears of experience related how their interests, priorities, and family situations led them to seekout non-tenure track faculty positions. From their perspective as new faculty, they candidlydiscussed the benefits as well as the drawbacks of the paths they had taken. The original paperconcluded by saying, “At this point the biggest unknown is the long-term satisfaction in andevolution of their non-traditional academic roles.”Ten years later, all three remain at their original institutions, and their careers and professionallives have developed in both expected and unexpected ways. With the benefit of thatperspective, the authors share how their professional roles have developed over a decade, howthey are regarded within the department, and their satisfaction with the work and life balance thattheir roles provide. This is an important area of discussion because studies show thatapproximately 65 percent of all new faculty appointments in academia are now non-tenure track,with part-time non-tenure-track faculty appointments making up the bulk of that percentage.Since the original paper ten years ago, Lisa has been promoted to Teaching Professor, one of thefirst faculty members at NC State in the College of Engineering to successfully navigate thepromotion process on the non-tenured Teaching Professor track. She has won multipleuniversity and national awards for teaching, advising, and educational scholarship. Lisa servesas a mentor for new faculty at NC State in both the teaching and advising realms.Ann has been promoted to a Professor in the Practice and serves as Associate Chair for theDepartment of Bioengineering. In addition to receiving several grants for educational materialsdevelopment, she co-authored the textbook Bioengineering Fundamentals. She has served on theASEE Board of Directors and won the ASEE Quinn Award for Excellence in LaboratoryInstruction. In 2011, she won Rice University’s highest teaching award. She also had a secondchild in 2005.Soon after the initial paper presentation, Penny was made “pseudo-program coordinator” of herundergraduate Construction Engineering Technology (CET) and Master’s of ConstructionEngineering Management (MCEM) while still working as an adjunct instructor. In 2004 she waspromoted to professional track tenure Assistant Professor and named the official ProgramCoordinator. She was recently tenured and promoted to Associated Professor and continues tocoordinate both programs. She was the first professional track tenured faculty in her College ofEngineering.
