In 2003 he joined the faculty of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of British Columbia as junior chair of the NSERC sponsored research program in Virtual Machining. His work at this time focused on the modeling of cutter/workpiece engagement geometry to support process modeling for aerospace machining applica- tions. He is currently on the faculty of the Engineering and Design Department at Western Washington University where he is director of the Manufacturing Engineering program

This style of instruction does not accurately reflect anengineer’s job requirements, which often include multi-disciplinary problem-solving andworking in groups. Under recent ABET guidance, there has been an increased push for project-based learning that integrates complex, group problem-solving to better align with employer’sneeds2. There is a large body of research related to how to best select individuals for

The overall goal is to develop dis- ciplinary communities of practice across the college of engineering. The approach is being promoted through semester-long faculty workshops and then through a semester of supported implementation of faculty classroom innovations. Changes in faculty beliefs and classroom practice should positively im- pact student performance and retention. He was a coauthor for the best paper award at the FIE convention in 2009 and the

). They concluded that the use of theseassessments in practice is likely a waste of resources, though solely based on the “meshing,” oralignment of teaching with learning style preference, hypothesis at the center of their review.However, a reason these learning style models are popular among faculty is they provide aheuristic basis for varying teaching methods, such as in-class activities, assignments, andassessments. No research has been conducted to demonstrate increased student performance as aresult of application of the Felder and Soloman (n.d.) learning styles model to teaching, but othermodels have demonstrated evidence of improved performance (Kolb 1984, Brokaw and Merz2000).

In order to document and understand the nature of thechanges we embarked on this research project. We interviewed 10 faculty from Engineering andLiberal Arts. The interviews were coded and analyzed through inductive narrative techniques.The results point to some profound themes. Most striking is that the practice of reflectingtogether on our own teaching led to more in-class active learning and an enhanced learningenvironment. This in turn led to faculty reporting deeper learning for students. Some faculty alsoreported changes in their own personal realm that resulted in a sense of greater well
