While all seminars were rated highly on average, the first five seminars, which focuson teaching and learning principles and class planning were rated most highly. Questioning,Assessment, and Non-Verbal Communication were rated lowest, although comments did notprovide any specific reasons for the low ratings. Participants were asked “which seminar(s) madethe greatest impact and why.” Their responses included  “Learning to teach, effective teaching, learning styles, and learning objectives had the greatest

, 2008. All of the academicprograms within the college are now either recommending or requiring the course for theirstudents. Currently two large sections (i.e. 70 students/section) are offered each semester andadditional sections are projected for the future. Many of the elements of the course could beadopted directly as embedded indicators for ABET assessment tools. The level of the outcomespecified in the new class in the areas of leadership, professional and ethical responsibility, andteamwork meets the level suggested in ASCE’s BOK2. When coupled with the total collegeincentives, the level of the leadership outcome surpasses BOK2’s requirements.The topics of this course naturally lead to a great deal of student discussion. The typical
