Eley reported that the School of Medicine recently developed new promotion and tenure guidelines broadening previous conceptions of service, education, and, to some extent, research, "although research has been the most entrenched." The new guidelines recognize levels of accomplishment at the regional, state, national, and international levels, with benchmarks for success at each level recognizing work in a broader context than had been the case. For example, he cited a pediatrician faculty member who had worked with the state of Georgia to put school nurses in about 150 elementary schools.

The Inventure Prize at Georgia Tech is one example of an effort to catalyze creative thinking through project-based design.1 These are the kinds of skills that engineering education needs to instill, Balfour concluded, since engineers have other ways, such as computer-based learning, to master the fundamentals of their disciplines. LAW The evolution of legal education is similar to that of engineering, according to David Santacroce, associate dean of experiential education at the University of Michigan Law School.
