A look at representative templates for professionally oriented faculty reward systems in other service professions

This is the second of three papers prepared for a special panel session of the National Collaborative Task Force on Engineering Graduate Education Reform that addresses the need for reform of faculty reward systems to advance professional education for creative engineering practice and technology leadership. This paper examines representative templates for professionally oriented faculty reward systems in other service professions in order to identify the commonality which should be reflected any faculty reward system for professional engineering education. As a result, three unifying themes among other professions have emerged which address teaching, professional scholarship, and service/engagement in practice.
