CRITERION 6. FACULTYA. Faculty QualificationsThe Department of <strong>Electrical</strong> Engineering has six full-time faculty members to include thedepartment chair. In addition, one of those faculty is an endowed Chair. We also have a jointappointment faculty member from Physics and a part-time instructor. Since our last visit, wehave two full professors, three associate professors, one assistant professor and an instructor(not including the joint appointment). Many faculty members participate in professionalactivities such as presenting talks in local, national and international conferences, serving aschairs of sessions for such conferences, and serving as the members of the editorial boardsfor professional publications as well as holding leadership positions in the IEEE. Some of thefaculty members are also involved in consulting and writing books.Two new faculty have joined the department since 2006, they are:2008 Gleb Tcheslavski, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Professor2007 Koji Hirano, MSEE, InstructorThe faculty is the heart of our program and consists of six full-time professors all with Ph.D.degrees in electrical engineering. Please consult Table 6-1 for specific data. The faculty iswell-distributed in expertise to cover the foundational areas of our program and we includeoverlap between the undergraduate and graduate coursework to provide advancedcoursework for seniors as part of their elective course choices. The basic curricular areas ofthe program have previously been listed, which we call the paradigmatic areas, but we revisitthem here: circuits, electronics, signals and systems, electromagnetics and computers.Faculty coverage of them is shown in Figure 6-2.The state required teaching load in the EE Department is twelve load units per semester. Inaddition to teaching in the classroom, most faculty members supervise graduate andundergraduate students in such courses as individual studies, research, thesis and dissertation,and seminar. Teaching load varies from two to four classroom lecture courses per semesterdepending on activity in research and graduate supervision.New faculty members lighter teaching assignments to give them time to establish theirresearch programs and adapt themselves to the department. Faculty have the option to buyoutfrom a course during each semester to a minimum of one course. In the last five years wehave used about three adjunct professors to cover all our courses. New faculty are given startupfunds, space for their laboratory, and reduced teaching loads. They are also givenpreference for summer support.Faculty performance evaluation is conducted every calendar year. The evaluation is a criticalelement in the assessment of the success of the program in meeting its educational objectivesand in the determination of future objectives. The primary purpose of faculty evaluation is toassess contributions of faculty members to the program, and more broadly, to the mission of32
the college and university. The process is vitally important for tenure-track faculty. Theperformance evaluation constitutes one consideration in the determination of salary increasesshould they be authorized, but other factors such as alleviating salary compression andrelative inequity and departmental effectiveness, may also contribute to the determination ofmerit increases.Figure 6-1. EE Faculty topic/course coverage diagram.The program has between forty to fifty students in the upper division at any time and this iswhere EE faculty begin primary interaction with them. In the lower division, faculty have aninitial encounter in the engineering introductory course (ELEN1100) and in ELEN2411Circuits I. This interaction is minimal since this is only three courses across four semesters.In both introductory courses, however, students are encouraged to attend and join the studentsection of the IEEE and participate in other department activities. Each faculty membermakes themselves available to students as needed. At the end of each semester, the universityconducts student evaluations for every course using a 3rd-party online system. Theevaluations play a major role in determining salary increases and promotions.After students get to the upper division, they begin to interact with the faculty morefrequently and for the rest of their time at the university. It is during this stage that thestudents establish very strong rapport with the faculty. Formal advising is done by the entirefaculty and is easily accommodated due to the small number of students.33
