Strategies thathave been found to be effective for learning in engineering classrooms and promoting community-building amongst students include cooperative learning activities, model-eliciting activities,problem-based learning, inquiry-based laboratories, and learning communities.3 The use of studentself-assessment tools can help students to increase self-efficacy and confidence in theirengineering-related abilities.11 Many universities are currently utilizing multi-pronged approachesthat include improvements to mentoring and academic advising, the development of a communityof belonging, and improvements to teaching in the

Moreover, ignoring teachers’knowledge and beliefs can be perceived as a threat to a teacher’s expertise and his/her ability toengage students in meaningful learning. 8, 9 Effective PD accounts for the fact that meaningfulinstructional change takes time and that increased duration of PD leads to positive changes inteacher knowledge and practices. 1, 2, 10 In fact, the quantity of time a teacher spends
