Candidates will have an established scholarly and academic record appropriate to a senior faculty member and will be experienced in academic administrative activities. A Ph.D. in a field of computing or a closely related field with academic credentials that would qualify for appointment to a Professorship is required. The duties and responsibilities of this position include department governance, instruction, faculty affairs, budgetary and department management, professional development of the faculty, and external outreach and communication. An Associate Chair and Administrative Assistant assist the Chair in the day to day operational activities. We seek a chair who is a motivator and a visionary. The ideal candidate should be committed to teamwork, to meaningful performance planning and to strategic planning. The department has established a strategic plan and a growing applied research program. Because of the diversity of our department, the ideal candidate should be committed to quality teaching, service and applied research. It is expected that the chair will continue to foster an environment that recognizes and rewards each of these contributions. The Department of Computing and Mathematics is the largest department on the Daytona Beach campus with a total of 42 full and part time faculty. There are 14 full time faculty in computer science, software engineering and computer engineering and 20 full time faculty in mathematics. The Department offers undergraduate degrees in computer science, computer engineering, and a nationally respected graduate program in software engineering. The Department also offers all mathematics courses required for the degree programs of the University and is developing a degree program in mathematics consistent with the University's focus on aviation and aerospace education. For more information about the department, go to http://computing.db.erau.edu Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is a private comprehensive university located in Daytona Beach, Florida and Prescott, Arizona. At Daytona, we enroll about 4500 undergraduate and about 250 graduate students in a variety of programs all related to aviation and aerospace education: aeronautical, aerospace, civil, computer, electrical and mechanical and software engineering; engineering physics; aeronautical science; business; communications; computer science. For further information, see http://www.db.erau.edu. Either send or email or fax applications or nominations, along with curriculum vitae, a statement of professional accomplishments and vision for the future, plus a list of three references with phone numbers and e-mail addresses to: Charles Martin, Ph.D. Chair, Search Committee Department of Computing and Mathematics C/o Ronda Wilson Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University 600 South Clyde Morris Blvd., Daytona Beach, Fl 32114-3900 email: wilsonro @ cts.db.erau.edu Fax: 904-226-6678 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Contact and General Information about FASE FASE is published on the 15th of each month by the FASE staff. Send newsletter articles to one of the editors, preferably by category: Articles pertinent to academic education to Tom Hilburn ; corporate and government training to David Carter ; professional issues and all other categories to Don Bagert . If the article is for a FASE topic where there is a guest editor, the submission should instead be to that person. Items must be submitted by the 8th of the month in order to be considered for inclusion in that month's issue. Also, please see the submission guidelines immediately below.

If you wish to leave this list, send a message to and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write: unsubscribe fase To rejoin (or have someone else join) the FASE mailing list, write to and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write: subscribe fase For instance, if your name is Jane Smith, write: subscribe fase Jane Smith But what if you have something that you want to share with everyone else, before the next issue? For more real-time discussion, there is the FASE-TALK discussion list. It is our hope that it will be to FASE readers what the SIGCSE.members listserv is to that group. (For those of you that don't know, SIGCSE is the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education.) To subscribe to the FASE-TALK list, write to and, in the text of your message (not the subject line), write: subscribe fase-talk For instance, if your name is Jane Smith, write: subscribe fase-talk Jane Smith Please try to limit FASE-TALK to discussion items related to software engineering education, training and professional issues; CFPs and other such items can still be submitted to the editor for inclusion into FASE. Anyone that belongs to the FASE-TALK mailing list can post to it. As always, there is no cost for subscribing to either FASE or FASE-TALK! (Subscriptions can also be maintained through the Web via http://lyris.acs.ttu.edu. From there, click on "TTU Faculty Mailing Lists", and then either "fase" or "fase-talk", depending on which list you desire.) _____ Back issues (dating from the very first issue) can be found on the web (with each Table of Contents) at in chronological order, in reverse order, or through ftp at . _____ The FASE Staff: Tom Hilburn -- Academic Editor Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Department of Computing and Mathematics Daytona Beach FL 32114 USA Phone: 904-226-6889 Fax: 904-226-6678 Email: hilburn@db.erau.edu URL: http://faculty.erau.edu/hilburn/ David Carter -- Corporate/Government Editor 6212 Mil Mar Blvd Alexandria LA 71302 USA Phone: 318-767-2339 Email: dacarter@bayou.com Don Bagert, P.E. -- Professional Issues/Misc Editor and Web/Listmaster Department of Computer Science 8th and Boston Texas Tech University Lubbock TX 79409-3104 USA Phone: 806-742-1189 Fax: 806-742-3519 Email: Don.Bagert@ttu.edu URL: http://www.cs.ttu.edu/faculty/bagert.html Laurie Werth -- Advisory Committee Taylor Hall 2.124 University of Texas at Austin Austin TX 78712 USA Phone: 512-471-9535 Fax: 512-471-8885 Email: lwerth@cs.utexas.edu Nancy Mead -- Advisory Committee Software Engineering Institute 5000 Forbes Ave. Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA Phone: 412-268-5756 Fax: 412-268-5758 Email: nrm@sei.cmu.edu
