professional development program was focused onseven sub-disciplines in engineering: aerospace, biomedical, chemical, civil, construction,materials, and mechanical. The year-long professional development program providedinformation to faculty about educational research on teaching practices, ways to implementactive learning strategies, and created a supportive environment for faculty to discuss theirteaching practices in the classroom. In this paper, we detail the program structure/content,evaluation methodology, and present a summary of data analysis. We conclude by discussingkey takeaways and lessons learned from the program.

Next student teams were asked to improve on a basic bicycle design. About eightminutes were given to this task. After hearing student solutions, many of which were the“obvious” such as gears, suspension, etc., several additional ideas were offered in the PPT, manyof which were not discussed by the students, such as bicycles for other functions like mowing thegrass or bicycles as art.
