While low student enrollments characterize the program/course, theexperience and process involved in the design of COT 706 provide valuable insights on pedagogy, team-teaching, and best practices for student learning.The purpose of this pedagogical research study is to assess using COT 706 course whether a team-taught8-week hybrid format accomplishes the objectives of providing the flexibility in format and skill

This research paper investigates the difference in students’engineering identity, engineering performance/competence, engineering interest, recognition inengineering, and affect towards six professional engineering practices in two differenceengineering departments: a traditional program that implicitly supports engineering identityformation and a non-traditional program that explicitly supports engineering identity formation.Survey data was collected from a total of 184 students (153 from the traditional department and31 from the non-traditional department). Using independent samples t-tests, results show thatengineering identity was higher for students in the
