students' experience with the activities.4.5. Overall Insights of AWPThe benefits respondents listed from participating in the AWP focused on having a betterunderstanding of POGIL and more confidence in their ability to write and implement POGILin their classroom. They also appreciated getting feedback on their work and collaborating withothers in the same discipline. Specific comments included: I feel like I have a MUCH better understanding of what POGIL activities should look like and how to go about writing them. It was also great to have one fully completed POGIL activity and one that`s almost ready to be submitted. Collaborating with colleagues that are interested in the same discipline, and at times in the same
project.BMC As a TemplateIn order to develop a framework that gives a detailed description of the project developmentprocess for an engineering or technology course, the Business Model Canvas was used as a basestructure. The Business Model Canvas (or BMC) is a tool used by industries worldwide to createan initial business model [6]. It is a blank framework that is comprised of nine individual “blocks.”The nine blocks include: ● Customer Segments - The customer(s) the company is trying to reach. ● Value Proposition - The product for that customer(s). ● Customer Channels - Ways in which they will connect with the customer(s). ● Customer Relationships - Focuses on the processes of getting, keeping, and growing the customer base

Carless and Boud argue that achieving thesethree feedback literacy competencies maximise the chances that a student will actually learnfrom feedback and take action.While there have been attempts to build on this model in the feedback literacy space, such asChong’s Ecological Perspective [7] and Wongvorachan et al.’s digital feedback literacymodel [8], these models have not become as ubiquitous as the original feedback literacymodel. An investigation of these models find that they tend to take the original feedbackliteracy model in its entirety and add additional dimensions and information too it (see Figure2). These dimensions

The primaryresearch questions were: How did the instructor’s perspectives and behaviors change as theyimplemented oral exams in their courses? How did the instructors act on a growth-orientedmindset?MethodsWe invited six teaching professors from the departments of Mechanical and AerospaceEngineering and Electrical Engineering to participate in the study. To protect the confidentialityof each individual, pseudonyms were used in lieu of using their full names in data analysis (SeeTable 1). Instructor Department Course(s) that implemented oral exams

utilize the app with students and providing more concrete suggestions may have increased the number of faculty who took advantage of the offering.• Another unique element of this initiative was the partnership with the local organization who offered the mental health first aid training. This is the first time that the TLC partnered with a local organization. Another lesson learned from this experience was to look locally, beyond the university, to find resources relevant to faculty. We were extremely impressed with the quality of the training and the presenters and would not hesitate to work with them again for other relevant programming. Bibliography[1] S. Cutler and A. Coso

components of critical consciousness as criticalreflection, motivation, and action using Diemer et al.’s (2015) definitions because they providethe clearest explanation of each component and limit the use of alternative descriptors orlanguage that are not directly aligned with Freirean thought.Theoretical Expansion of Critical Consciousness Several scholars have used Freire’s (1970) work as a foundation for their work,highlighting the benefits of his scholarship but also identifying limitations in its theory andpractical application. Literature across fields confirms several ways in which criticalconsciousness is defined and operationalized.

To achieve this goal, data were collected which fit under any of the following criteria: (i)hindrances experienced by engineering faculty in adopting EBIPs, (ii) support that was given ormeasures the faculty took that helped implement EBIPs, and (iii) what type(s) of EBIP the facultymember utilized.
