over twenty hours of trainingand mentoring of one hundred STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)faculty from a comprehensive university and a local community college. The objective of theproject is to introduce a large percentage of faculty at two different institutions to some of thelatest educational research and related pedagogical methods in an effort to create a lastingpositive change in student learning. The grant provides for training of about 30% of theuniversity STEM faculty in a pedagogical approach called Challenge Based Instruction (CBI)based on the principles of “How People Learn” and the STAR Legacy cycle. Facultyinvolvement begins with an afternoon pre-workshop introductory meeting that introduces thefaculty to

Since 1964 theUF Engineering distance learning program has evolved through different technologies, fromsending production quality course tapes to industry sites (~mid 1970s), to shipping VHS tapes ofeach course lecture, each day to individual students (~mid 1980s), to mailing DVDs of each livecourse lecture each day to distance students (1990’s), to a conversion to online video delivery inthe late 1990’s. In 2005, the distance learning program was renamed the UF EDGE (ElectronicDelivery of Gator Engineering) Program. UF EDGE offers online course video delivery
