Discusses various activities at Nashville State Technical Institute to encourage women to enter engineering technology. These include receptions, in-service discussions, rap sessions, employment of women faculty, female recruitment, and publication of a special issue of the Institute's monthly publication ("Print-Out") for women. (JN)

Presents the advantages and disadvantages of an adjunct professor program within an engineering faculty. (SL)

Proposes that a resident engineer program would be an effective way to prevent a future decline in the quality of engineering graduates. (SL)

Describes recommendations related to engineering faculty pipelines by the American Society for Engineering Education task force. The recommendations are: (1) enlarging the faculty pool; (2) enhancing the graduate school environment; (3) enhancing the faculty environment; (4) attracting non-traditional faculty; (5) working on foreign faculty…

This article discusses the sources of future faculty, the ability to draw members of underrepresented groups to faculty positions, and problems related to the increase in foreign graduate students and faculty. (YP)

Discusses an engineering faculty pipeline. Provided are the statistical figures showing: (1) gender differences; (2) engineering doctorates by race and institutions; (3) foreign faculty; (4) citizenship of engineering doctorates; (5) doctorates who attended a two-year college by race; and (6) plans of foreign citizens receiving doctorates. (YP)

Presents findings from an American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) questionnaire survey which examined the impact of faculty shortages on the quality of engineering education, what faculty are needed to maintain or restore quality to engineering programs, graduate student enrollment, and trends in faculty recruitment and retention. (JN)

A non-traditional career path passes through industry or government before proceeding to an academic position. Discussed are effective uses and advantages of various non-traditional faculty members. Some industrial programs that help universities fill faculty positions are described. (YP)

Presents results of a survey designed to assess impact of faculty shortages on quality of engineering education, determine additional faculty needed to maintain/restore quality to engineering programs, determine increase/decreases of graduate students, and identify engineering areas in which it is difficult to attract faculty.
