An assessment is presented looking atthe types of projects proposed, how EM was incorporated, when the idea was first conceived,how many times an individual faculty member applied, motivation to apply, and the role offunding in the actual implementation of the project.IntroductionChanging engineering faculty practices in classrooms, labs and programs is challenging and anongoing undertaking within engineering units [1-2]. A major reason for the challenge is thereluctance of faculty to change if what they are doing is familiar and seems to be “working.”Difficulties associated with change are faculty’s readiness

Themain idea is to develop a student-centered environment that helps students to develop a can-do,proactive, innovative mindset; an environment that will light their spark of innovation, and providethem with resources to translate their ideas from paper to prototype. We have identified four majorgroups of relevant skills, namely, problem solving, “big picture”, personal and social skills, and usedseveral different activities to try to boost them. A variety of projects and challenges, and multi-sensory activities were synthesized to create an empirical, authentic, and multi-disciplinaryexperience.
