. Page 14.668.2NCETE Teacher Professional Development Positioning of the teacher as developer of lessons facilitates coherence with otherlearning activities occurring in each teacher’s classroom. Specifically, teachers can situate theengineering design concepts into their curriculum by crafting a lesson rather than attempting tofit a pre-packaged generic lesson into an existing and, perhaps, rigidly structured curriculum.The lesson development opportunities provide teachers with an active learning experience,wherein they first experience exemplary engineering design challenges as participants and thencreate design challenges. Formative feedback was provided by peer teachers and professionaldevelopers as the teachers developed the lessons

students to write a summary of what has been covered in the lectureto asking them to collaboratively work on real-world problems and projects. The effectiveness of activelearning strategies compared to the traditional lecture approach, when implemented well, has beenempirically validated and documented in engineering education literature. The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to explore engineering faculty’s use of active learning strategies in their teaching in aMidwestern university’s college of engineering context. Data sources included a survey about the facultyknowledge and use of active learning strategies and follow-up semi-structured interviews that aimed togather an in-depth understanding of their implementation of active learning

faculty learning communities can thrive and sustain themselves with avariety of models: ones that mimic, adapt, or diverge from the tightly integrated model describedabove. Within the engineering education community alone there are numerous successful modelscurrently in use. Many require limited commitment, bottom-up organization and no incentivizingbeyond faculty’s value for the community learning experience. By taking a closer, comparativelook at the breadth of faculty learning communities that exist in practice, we may provide acomplement to the existing learning community literature that helps to make faculty ensemblelearning more accessible to local problem-solvers and large-scale program-builders alike.In this paper we examine five learning

. 2). Prince (2004) defines active learning as requiring“students to do meaningful learning activities and think about what they are doing.” Given thesediscrepancies, the Trefny Innovative Instruction Center at the Colorado School of Mines set outto help Mines develop a shared definition of active learning. We sought to develop a tool thatwould collect large-scale data about classroom practices at the Colorado School of Mines, and totrack these practices over time.The goal of the Trefny Innovative Instruction Center is to help faculty provide students with therichest learning experience possible, so we wanted a tool that would provide one data source thatwould capture the impact we were hoping to make on the campus over time, and that would

those involved with the educational problem at issue. In this paper, we take up the long-discussed problem of struggling students inundergraduate engineering programs. Responses to the problem of struggling students have beenvaried; the following is a coarse literature review of some responses in order to position ourwork. Traditional quantitative retention research has documented the magnitude of the problemand clarified large-scale inequities in access to higher education in STEM based on gender, race,socioeconomic status (for example, Ong et al. and Seymour and Hewitt)2,3. This research oftendraws on a metaphor of the “leaky pipeline” to justify institutional remediation, includingsupport programs for racial, gender, and

The project s research questions are: 1. What does marginalization look like within engineering classrooms where teamwork is a primary feature? 2. How is marginalization legible (or not) to instructors at the classroom level? 3. What are the different ways that instructors respond to incidents of peer-to-peer marginalization? 4. How might the lessons of this work be implemented to systematically alert instructors when

The lessons thesegroups learn about accomplishing change will help determine how important are factors such asfaculty reward systems, work-life balance, and student demographic contexts. Through theirsimilarities (e.g., common purpose of improving diversity and inclusion) and their differences(e.g., the pedagogical, organizational, and curricular approaches they employ), we will learnabout barriers and drivers of large scale change efforts. The information produced by the REDteams will serve higher education, and engineering education in particular, by creating a set ofmodels for change.REDPARNSF funded the collaborative effort
