Abstract
Engaging engineering faculty at a large research university in continuing education is a challenge because faculty choose to invest their time and talents in other activities which are perceived to have higher benefits. This paper describes strategies that can be employed to increase the benefits of continuing education activities to make them more attractive. These strategies include reducing the faculty time requirements and increasing the rewards. The paper illustrates how these strategies have been applied to the activities necessary for the design, production and delivery a graduate level credit course taught to distant students.
