University ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 WIP - Building a Stronger Curriculum: A Comprehensive Model for Enhanced Evaluation Abstract This work in progress (WIP) describes a proposal for a 5-faceted approach to evaluation. The evaluation of a course or academic program serves as a critical tool in determining whether the educational objectives are being met and plays an essential role in advancing the pedagogical practices within the course or program. These evaluations typically involve both student assessments and departmental reviews, providing a comprehensive perspective on

Developed within the AMPLIFY Institute, ourapproach emphasizes the importance of introspection and self-assessment as an opportunity toreflect on leadership growth opportunities. Therefore, we provide here a brief overview of theimportance of reflection, the ICVF framework, suggestions for implementation based on ourdevelopment and piloting efforts, and the handout for others to adapt to their own facultydevelopment contexts.Role of Reflection in Bolstering Faculty Leadership DevelopmentUnderstanding why reflection is a powerful mechanism for faculty leadership developmentrequires examining its theoretical

of CRP empower educators to design inclusive curricula and adopt teachingmethods that appreciate and celebrate cultural diversity [12]. Notably, in the field of engineering,the adoption of CRP is gaining traction through university-specific faculty developmentinitiatives, which is an encouraging trend [13]. Engineering faculty are demonstrating motivationand commitment to enhance their inclusive teaching skills and integrate inclusive pedagogy intheir classrooms [14].In response to this expanding need, we have developed and launched a faculty developmentprogram aimed at addressing the gap in inclusive teaching among engineering faculty. Ourprogram seeks to equip faculty with the skills and knowledge to create more inclusive

(2023) successful integration requires the amalgamation of all threedomains. Technological knowledge (TK) involves effectively using digital tools in teaching.Pedagogical knowledge (PK) covers designing lessons, assessing students and adapting teachingstyles. Content knowledge (CK) is the understanding of the subject being taught and ability toteach the subject matter comprehensively. Fig. 1: Tpack framework (tpack.org).Mishra et al.

insuccessfully implementing evidence‐based teaching. Furthermore, while integrating activelearning can be challenging in any STEM field, engineering education presents an especiallyinstructive case due to its strong connections to real-world problem-solving and itsintersection with multiple scientific and mathematical domains. Because engineering studentsoften take courses in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, the broader STEM context directlyinfluences their academic journey and preparation for professional practice. Byacknowledging and addressing the complexities involved, faculty developers and engineeringeducation researchers can capitalize on active learning’s proven benefits, ultimatelyimproving teaching effectiveness and student success across

This paper aims at bridging this gap by introducing a new framework thatincludes the concept of worth as an additional measure. The paper explores the implementation ofthis integrated approach for engineering and science faculty at a private university, utilizingbibliometrics, strategic contributions, and analyses of faculty perceptions across factors likegender, age, rank, and field. The findings underscore the need to balance merit and worth, offeringa more comprehensive reflection of faculty contributions within institutional contexts.This Work in Progress (WIP) Paper will be presented as a poster.1
