variety of instructional methods can helpstudents to succeed in more modes of learning in the classroom and beyond.In engineering education, there’s also an emphasis on non-technical aspects of engineering.ABET outcomes [6] focus not just on applying principals of engineering, science, and math, butalso addressing social concerns, communicating effectively, recognizing ethical responsibilities,etc. A growing number of engineering institutions are joining the KEEN network [7] andembracing KEEN’s three pillars of fostering curiosity, making connections, and creating value.This non-technical content is even less suited to passive forms of instruction.In light of these developments, the primary investigator’s teaching of statics, mechanics,dynamics

internships in Manufacturing and Quality Engineering. His current work is investigating the implementation of select emergent pedagogies and their effects on student and instructor performance and experience in undergraduate engineering. His other interests include the philosophy of engineering education, engineering ethics, and the intersecting concerns of engineering industry and higher education.Prof. Charles Morton Krousgrill, Purdue University at West Lafayette Charles M. Krousgrill is a Professor in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University and is affiliated with the Ray W. Herrick Laboratories at the same institution. He received his B.S.M.E. from Purdue University and received his M.S. and Ph.D
