comprehension and retention [34, 42, 58, 59]. Even simple strategies, such asend-of-class “minute papers” that ask students to reflect on what they learned in class and whatremains unclear can provide opportunities for students to organize their understanding [60]. Thisapproach is effective regardless of instructor level of experience and across levels of studentability [61]. The reflective process can be effectively integrated into a peer review process [52,54].Identity as writing engineersAs seniors in a chemical engineering degree program, the students in our study have begun toform engineering identities. The structure of our program—as is typical of many—in whichstudents take technical writing early in their degree programs in the English

Pitcher is the Director of Academic Technologies at the University of Texas at El Paso. He has had experience in learning in both a traditional university program as well as the new online learning model, which he utilizes in his current position consulting with faculty about the design of new learning experiences. His experience in technology and teaching started in 1993 as a student lab technician and has continued to expand and grow over the years, both technically as well as pedagogically. Currently he works in one of the most technically outstanding buildings in the region where he provides support to students, faculty, and staff in implementing technology inside and outside the classroom, researching new

grow to over 1100 students from an average of 45 majors per year.IntroductionCommunity-engaged learning came to engineering slower than many other disciplines [1] buthas seen increasing examples and scholarship in engagement [2, 3]. Evidence of the increasingacceptance includes the creation of the ASEE Community Engagement Division. While thereare many examples of success, most are driven by individual faculty or small groups and thereare few examples of large scale implementation of engagement. For community engagement toachieve its potential, models that can be replicated or adapted and integrated into the fabric of theinstitutions must be developed. There is still skepticism about service-learning as noted in the2014 ASEE report [4]. It

CurriculumIntroductionUniversities nationwide, especially those with a research focus, are challenged to improve thequality of teaching and the skills and professionalism of their faculty in the teaching domain. Inthis context, the authors undertook a five-year project, funded by the National ScienceFoundation EHR/IUSE program, to support transformation to evidence-based teaching andlearning practices in the core mathematics, science and engineering courses taken by allengineering students in their first two years at Stevens Institute of Technology. Strategies tosupport faculty change include ongoing discussions of the principles of teaching and learningand discipline-based education research; trained undergraduate peer assistants to facilitate active-learning pedagogies

While our survey was administered after more than five years of our unit’s existence, it provided valuable logistics and roadmap information. We also identified one of the authors of this paper as a source of intentional evaluation and assessment, a critical element for

The introduction sessioninvolved faculty engaging peer leaders in cooperative-style learning exercises and mentoring bestpractices that are subsequently applied in the activities. Weekly preview sessions with“gatekeeper” course faculty covered course content and pedagogical approaches. Ongoingchallenges and lessons learned were documented in a final session with all mentors and facultyinvolved. The number of mentors in the fall 2016 were four, in spring 2017 were

In contrast to our work presented here, EPICS is a large-scale program involving longer-scale projects such as design teams. This contrasts with our work in that toy adaptation can beconducted in one session as a 1.5 or 2 hour activity without the required resources, infrastructure,and partnerships needed to facilitate high school design team initiatives, making toy adaptation amore feasible addition to existing or smaller-scale outreach efforts.Ultimately

Through theirsimilarities (e.g., common purpose of improving diversity and inclusion) and their differences(e.g., the pedagogical, organizational, and curricular approaches they employ), we will learnabout barriers and drivers of large scale change efforts.
