substantial body of prior research demonstrates the efficacy of active learning pedagogicalpractices. In particular, student-centered teaching strategies have been shown to promote greaterlevels of student engagement, achievement, and retention. Despite strong evidence in favor ofstudent-centered teaching strategies, the majority of faculty continue to use the more traditionallecture format, or instructor-centered teaching practices, in their own classrooms. As such, thereis a strong need for professional development to increase faculty awareness and use of activelearning pedagogical practices. This complete research-based paper discusses a successfulfaculty development program designed to increase awareness and use of student-centered, oractive

There are many forms of undergraduate research experiences, but a common method is for astudent to work closely with a teacher in research. Students often find these hands-on experiences veryuseful and learn to work in teams, manage projects, and communication skills. In the scope of thiswork-in-progress study, our program, originally rooted in engineering, now draws one-quarter of itsstudents from departments outside the College of Engineering.

Regardless of the reason it is clear thatresearch in the field of education has not produced a history of usefulness for educators.Our particular situation is complicated further in that we have a long time scale, one semester per year,and low numbers, 12-30 students per year.
