The authors argue for integrating Boyer's four domains through the pursuit of public scholarship.

James L. Oblinger, Chancellor of North Carolina State University, argues that higher education must continually evolve new methods of teaching and learning to support students' lifelong skills and impending careers. Part of ensuring students' success lies in finding alternative learning models, such as the Student-Centered Activities for Large…

This second part continues the search for ways of overcoming the three limitations of the current intellectual and professional division of labor and its knowledge infrastructure, which were shown to be at the root of the present economic, social and environmental crises. A complementary knowledge strategy is proposed to counterbalance the trade…

People have different learning styles that are reflected in different academic strengths, weaknesses, skills, and interests. Given the almost unlimited variety of job descriptions within food science and engineering, it is safe to say that students with every possible learning style have the potential to succeed as food scientists and engineers.…

Driving innovation and continuous improvement with regard to ecological, environmental and human sustainability is essential for win-win globalization. That calls for research on strategic and monitoring planning to manage globalization and technological and scientific change. This paper describes a new basic function of the university institution…

This article is based on research carried out in an European Union Fifth Framework project on gender and qualification. The research partners, from five European countries, investigated the impact of gender segregation in European labour markets on vocational education and training (VET), with particular regard to competences and qualifications.…

The data in this report were compiled from the National Science Foundation's (NSF's) fiscal year 1992 Survey of Scientific and Engineering Expenditures at Universities and Colleges. They refer to science and engineering (S & E) expenditures for separately budgeted research and development, which include all funds expended for activities…

In an increasingly technological environment, traditional teaching presentation methods such as the podium, overhead, and transparencies are no longer sufficient. This document serves as a guide to designing and planning an electronic classroom for "bidirectional" communication between teacher and student. Topics include: (1) determining…

While it may seem redundant to be considering the library as a humanistic workplace, since most libraries are probably at the upper end of the quality of workplace life, there is always some room for improvement, making the topic worthy of exploration. The most important consideration in a humanistic workplace is how people are treated. There is a…

The Division of Science Resources Studies of the National Science Foundation (NSF) reports statistical data related to science and engineering for each state in the United States. This report contains an overview of data related to cumulative distribution of the United States research and development performance by state in 1995, the relationship…

This case study examined the effects of the BUILD Coalition program which provided incentives to faculty who developed innovative approaches to engineering education. The program was one of eight Engineering Education Coalitions sponsored by the National Science Foundation to seek ways to gain greater legitimacy for teaching within the faculty…

One of the biggest problems students face in team projects is social loafing, a situation in which students may view team projects as a free ride. Social loafers let others do the work, knowing that the professor will only grade the completed project. This research examined the performance of students grading other student team members on a group…

This report presents findings of a survey of engineering college faculty at eight participating institutions in SUCCEED (Southeastern University and College Coalition for Engineering Education) concerning their use of various instructional methods, their prior involvement in instructional development programs, and their perceptions about…

The focus of this workshop was to reaffirm the important role that two-year colleges often serve as institutions of choice for minority and other underrepresented student populations. In addition, two-year colleges are particularly well positioned to contribute to pre-college education through scientific literacy programs, teacher enhancement…

The National Technological University (NTU), a consortium of approximately 30 American engineering schools which has been in operation on a continent-wide scale since 1985, uses telecommunications to broadcast engineering education courses to corporate sites across the country. Courses are produced at member institutions and are distributed to…
