preparation.2.1.1 Designing effective syllabiSyllabi serve as a contract between instructor and students. New faculty members should ensurethat their syllabi communicate course objectives, learning outcomes, grading criteria, and policiesin a transparent and accessible manner. Providing students with an alternative lecture schedulecan also show an outlining key date for assignments, exams, and other important milestones. Thisclarity enables students to plan their study schedule effectively, manage their time efficiently, andstay on track with coursework.2.1.2 Laboratory Design and real-world connectionDesigning laboratories with stronger connections to real-world examples and theoretical knowledgeinvolves several strategies, including selecting

Department Chair. Theprogram was delivered through the university's online course platform and facilitated by theinstructional coach. To select participants for the program, a promotional email was sent toECE graduate students and some GTAs were nominated by their supervisors and/or thedepartment. Out of the 20 GTAs participating in the program, six individuals with varyingteaching experiences volunteered to take part in this research study by sharing their insightsand experiences in a focus group and in follow up individual structured interviews. All sixparticipants were international students at different stages of their doctoral programs. Theyprimarily worked in laboratories where their roles ranged from being a principal laboratoryinstructor to

. Second,engineering researchers can narrowly isolate experimental variables and follow uniform andwidely-accepted laboratory testing standards. The results from engineering research are well-defined and replicable, and proposed models can be validated. Unlike engineering research,EER typically includes a broad range of uncontrollable confounding variables and a lack ofspecificity and guidance in the selection of appropriate theoretical frameworks and analyticalmethods [5,6].Since engineering faculty are often the initiators of EER studies, it is logical that faculty whoalready teach engineering courses and conduct engineering research may be inclined to pursueEER opportunities. Their motivation may be to either complement their ongoing

set within a liberal arts college. The course meets twice a week for eightyminutes with labs integrated into the class time. The intended learning outcomes are: • Develop a conceptual understanding of the properties of soil, water flow through soil, volume changes in soil and soil strength. • Develop problem solving competence for soil phase diagrams; engineering classification of soils; 1-d water flow in soils; flow nets and 2-d seepage; effective stress in soil for hydrostatic, 1-d flow, 2-d flow and capillary rise; stress distributions caused by various loading shapes; amount and rate of consolidation; shear strength of soil; and soil compaction. • Become familiar with laboratory soil tests and field sampling and
