teaching in future courses. Rogers’ DOI was chosenbecause it provides a way of analyzing the stages through which individuals progress whendeciding whether or not to adopt an innovation, making it well suited to studying instructors’decisions about the adoption of evidence-based interactive strategies. The framework helpscapture more nuance in the decision to adopt an innovation and the progress toward change inteaching.SIMPLE Teaching Development GroupsThis NSF-funded project implemented and studied a network of ongoing STEM faculty teachingdevelopment groups within a single university. The discipline-based groups were created in sixdepartments: mathematics, global and community health, computer science, biology,physics/astronomy, and civil
Introduction Even early in the lifecycle of an academic change project, change agents may find that theirrelationship to change theory is far more complex than simply selecting a theory and translating itdirectly into practice. Change agents not only need to select change theories that align with their vision,but also to adapt the theory into a pragmatic framework to fit their social context and meet the myriadneeds of administration, faculty, students, and other academic stakeholders. Further complicating useof theory in academic change projects is the substantial number of theoretical frameworks availablethat can be applied to academic change. These include frameworks that typologize different process-oriented approaches to change (e.g

theyneed to think of more authentic and appropriate assessments? In this example, the instructorkeeps the weekly homework assignments as "concept checks” but then develops projects forstudents assessing the higher-order learning outcomes.In the fourth unit, "Learning Activities,” instructors discuss and explore learning activities thatfoster more student-centered learning environments. While the previous unit might be achallenge for some STEM instructors, this unit is the most challenging for all STEM instructors.Instructors struggle with activities that are authentic for student learning within engineering andSTEM courses. It could be logistically restrictive, for example, to have a course in a constructionmanagement class visit a construction

Lessons Learned when Transitioning Faculty to Active Pedagogy in the ClassroomAbstractThis paper is an Evidence Based Practice paper. The project focuses on an active andintuitive learning technique, flipped classroom. In this technique, the usual student- teachercentered lecture is replaced by a more student driven approach where a student prepares priorto a class, which gives more time for in class discussions and problem solving.

project is to identify how wemight cultivate inclusive engineering cultures in the absence of critical masses of peopletraditionally underrepresented in engineering. Stated another way, this challenges us to considerhow we might actualize more diverse and inclusive engineering environments starting with thosealready present in large numbers. This suggests as opposed to waiting until we have largenumbers of individuals from diverse groups to address the issues impacting them, we start withincreasing the awareness of those from majority groups to the marginalized experiences ofpeople from underrepresented groups as they navigate heteronormative engineering cultures.One potentially transformative way of doing this is by shifting the mindsets of
