On Faculty Reward Systems
The faculty reward systems are extremely important in the education of future engineers. In a typical faculty reward system for many research universities, teaching is not considered as important as research activities. In this paper, the current faculty reward systems are critically reviewed with suggestions made for further improvements. Although there are encouraging signs, it is our belief ...
متن کاملEvolving the Narrow Language Faculty: Was Recursion the Pivotal Step?
A recent proposal (Hauser, Chomsky & Fitch, 2002) suggests that the crucial defining property of human language is recursion.

متن کاملBuilding and Sustaining a Diverse Faculty: Implications for Faculty Advancement and Reward Systems
Even though academic research is often viewed as the preferred career path for PhD trained scientists, most U.S. graduatesenter careers in industry, government, or ‘‘alternative careers.’’ There has been a growing concern that these career patternsreflect fundamental imbalances between the supply of scientists seeking academic positions and the availability of suchpositions. However...
متن کاملFaculty Research Supporting Learning in Evolving Dynamic Environments
In dynamic decision environments such as direct sales, customer support, and electronically mediated bargaining, decision makers execute sequences of interdependent decisions under time pressure. Past decision support systems have focused on substituting for decision makers' cognitive deficits by relieving them of the need to explicitly account for sequential dependencies. However, these system...
