orientation8, 9. According to the recentresults published by the National Survey for Student Engagement (NSEE), there are four performanceindicators for student engagement: academic challenge, learning with peers, experiences with faculty andcampus environment10, 11. While there are several ongoing efforts to improve engagement in engineeringclassrooms12-18, this paper reports the results from the implementation of a blended teaching model at SanJose State University.“Tailored Instructions and Engineered Delivery Using Protocols” (TIED UP) is a media-rich blendedmodel used for teaching engineering concepts. Developed at Tuskegee University, this model is reportedto be effective in improving student grades and their engagement in the classroom19. This

learning and in students asindividuals.Estes and Welch3 used teachers from movies and television shows to ease understanding ofLowman’s model. However, some of the movie and television examples are becoming dated anddo not resonate with new faculty. Additionally, determining one’s place in Lowman’s modelremains difficult. As evidenced by the authors’ experience writing this paper, debating where anindividual sits in a category, while entertaining, is not a simple task. This paper describesdevelopment of a rubric to assess teaching in both of Lowman’s dimensions and applies therubric to contemporary movie and television teachers.In this paper, the authors present a summary of Lowman’s Two Dimensional Model of EffectiveCollege Teaching1.

to see the educational innovations of passionate and talented educators, but howdo these innovations get adopted? It is hard for even the best educational innovations totransfer to a colleague’s classroom16 It is less likely for an innovation to be adopted by adifferent university. As a result, many engineering educators are re-inventing the wheel andexcellent innovations are underutilized.If educators had unlimited temporal resources this would not be an issue. But manytransformative educational practices require teams of people to develop and test. Others arethe result of a personal passion and decades of building, coding, writing, and/or tweaking.Educators do not have the luxury of dedicating years of effort to a project that affects

for the actors to develop their own contextthrough improvisation.In TPC, Open Scene is used differently. Students are paired up (with an occasional trio, ifnecessary) and given a generic set of instructions explaining that they will perform a ‘scene’ withtheir partner(s) for their peers in approximately ten minutes. These instructions also include somereminders of things to consider that may help them communicate their scene, including tone,volume, body language, and use of relational space (all discussed previously in course content).Students are additionally encouraged to use readily available props as they deem appropriate.Each group is instructed to keep their scene a secret from other groups as they prepare. Then,each group is given
