was intended to be arefresher of selected curriculum design models and an enhancer of evidence-based teachingpractices. The workshops blended learning theories, formative assessment strategies, activelearning techniques, and effective use of technologies that teachers could experience and takeback to their own class. Each workshop was approximately two hours. The topics covered by theworkshop series include: (1) Team building activity, (2) Reflections on engineering education,(3) Curriculum standards, (4) TPACK design framework [8] and the Backward Design model[9], (5) Raising meaningful questions and engineering challenge, (6) Writing measurablelearning objectives, (7) Formative and summative assessment strategies, (8) The art ofstorytelling

Since we will reflect on our purposeful observations (interviews), a potential result ofthis process is to promote and implement change, making our data collection process acombination of both observation and intervention (Midgley, 2003). While we hope to fully andaccurately portray the system to analyze it, the observer (interviewer) must be careful not toinfluence the thoughts and expertise of the stakeholder (interviewee). If interviewees areexplaining an ideal system as opposed to the actual system that we want to analyze, theeffectiveness of this systems thinking process significantly decreases

Therefore, universities should prepare integral professionals that articulateglobal knowledge, professional knowledge and work experiences, and recognize the needs andproblems of society to create sustainable and effective solutions. Competencies are the set ofskills, behaviors, and abilities that allow people to reflect on an action and know how to act whensituations are faced, even if the situation occurs in a new context [7].
