. This was a six-year study about current education practices atmajor engineering schools. One of their main points is that education innovation requiresengineering and education expertise working in continual cycles of educational practiceand research. In the Innovation1 report, Recommendation 5 states: “Raise awareness ofthe proven principles and effective practices of teaching, learning, and educationalinnovation, and raise awareness of the scholarship of engineering education.” It is withthis goal in mind that the committee approaches the Best Practices in EngineeringEducation series.Besterfield-Sacre17, et al. surveyed engineering faculty & deans across the country aboutpossible pathways for transforming engineering education. They fit

Itwas shown that students performed better in written examinations and had slightly more positiveattitudes at the end of class when compared with a controlled traditional class6. Additionally, aproblem-based learning program was implemented in civil engineering at University ofLimerick, Ireland7, which provided a new learning experience for students that was wellreceived7. Furthermore, a study conducted at Setubal Polytechnic Institute, Barreiro, Portugalshowed that active learning techniques increase student engagement, class attendance andparticipation8.
