At theindividual faculty member level, one workshop Integrating Curriculum with Entrepreneurial Mindset(ICE) focused on helping an individual faculty member change classroom practice. At the department orunit level, new workshops have been tested that focus on the needs of a specific school or unit. Anexample is a workshop for Montana State University in 2020 that took elements of two other workshopsand structured the material in the context of the institutional focus.

takes excessive faculty members time to preparethe assessment. I think I think exam integrity is a big, big challenge, for engineering for the engineering curriculum. - PeterIn order to minimize cheating, some of the faculty members experimented using video proctoringduring assessment, either using software such as LockDown browser, ProctorU, Impendus ormonitoring students using synchronous Zoom meetings. In some cases, this has resulted instudents’ push back, with faculty members feeling under pressure about their assessmentstrategies. And they were saying like why I'm only using this because many other faculty are giving take home exam and I'm the only one who does like who tortures them…– HannaFaculty

to shifts in culture and philosophicalapproaches to curriculum and instruction. The changes are often impeded by barriers related tostructural and systemic features within the academic system [4], [8]. From an organizationalperspective, individual barriers are commonly associated with misunderstandings and lack ofcommunication, lack of trust and threats to job status and security [9], [10]. Particularlyconcerning to faculty are changes that affect resources and time [10–12]. Lozano [9] notes thatbarriers are also present at the group and organizational level [10]. The change can be impededby the groups culture and norms, intergroup dynamics and group conflicts. At the organizationallevel, barriers to change can include a lack of strategy
