Undergraduate Teaching Orientation Graduate Teaching Orientation Practice In small groups (5-7), participants take turns delivering a five-minute explanation on a Teaching topic of their choice. Peers and one trained facilitator act as students during the lesson, 2 hrs then provide written and oral feedback on the teaching.Table 1: Engineering teaching orientations during the Fall of 2017.As seen in Table 1, the new instructor

and external opportunities to expand scholarly connections. This included sessions on making meaningful sabbaticals, research collaborations, and connecting interdisciplinary researchers via an interactive “round- robin” meet-up event. Funding and Research Development • COE faculty connections with funding agencies, industry, associated program directors and researchers. As part of the faculty development program, we have sponsored a combination of visits to agencies (e.g., EPA, NSF), national labs (e.g. Sandia National Laboratories) and industry. These programs are instrumental in connecting new and senior faculty to agencies resulting in new proposals, invitations to serve on panels, new

was participating in a group noted that he wanted to be aware of the various approachesinstructors were using even if he would not be likely to adopt them himself. Three instructorswere motivated by sharing their experiences and expertise to motivate others to adopt research-based practices. Two of the groups included graduate students who served as the primaryinstructors for either a lecture course or a laboratory. Nearly unanimously, graduate-studentparticipants described plans to pursue an academic career and cited participation in the teachingdevelopment group as a way to prepare for the teaching aspects of that career. Some graduate-student participants planned to pursue teaching-focused academic positions; others wereinterested in

for. I would like my students to be functional when they enter the workplace… Whether it's at a consulting firm, a public agency, a research laboratory, as a faculty member, I'd like them to be able to know about and in some detail the kinds of things that they'd be expected to do when they get there.Many faculty see their roles as preparing students to contribute to their engineering profession ofchoice. Therefore, knowing more about how students transfer their learning to a workplace canpotentially help faculty improve their instructional approaches to more adequately meet theneeds of the discipline. Participants recognized that measuring and assessing learning iscomplex, and doing so within the timeframe of
