the 1990’s, there was anational effort to develop programs to involve faculty to train them to use more varied teachingmethods [9]. Previous faculty development programs include SUCCEED and ECSEL Coalitions[10], FOUNDATION Coalition [11], and GATEWAY Coalition [9]. These entities work todevelop and execute professional development programs for faculty to train them in diverse andmodern teaching approaches.One type of program that has shown positive progress is based upon summer workshops orinstitutes for faculty devoted to teaching practices. One example is the National AcademiesSummer Institutes (SIs) [12, 13]. Beginning as a biology summer institute, this program has beenoperating since 2004. The SIs are intensive multi-day workshops were

Also, a more formal survey will be administered to students and faculty to determine thesatisfaction level with the new course and areas for improvement. A subsequent paper will besubmitted to a future conference to discuss these results as they are generated.References[1] Laugerman, M., Shelley, M., Rover, D., & Mickelson, S., “Estimating survival ratesin engineering for community college transfer students using grades in calculus and physics,”International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 3(4), 313-321,2015.[2] Bichof, G., Rubesa, D., “Correlation between engineering students’ performance inmathematics and academic success,“ 2015 American Society for

the way.The task of coalition building can be described as the task of selling the idea [12]. Sellingthe idea in this context means finding potential allies for its implementation. Thus, a largepart in the management of innovation is the management of attention [30]. The process canbe described as an interplay of several roles that are taken by several individuals. There isthe “champion” of an idea who is usually the person or the team who generated the idea orwas/were early advocates [31, 32]. The champion tries to gain the attention of people in theorganization that s/he evaluates as indispensable for the realization of the idea [12]. These areusually people in the higher hierarchy of the organization. Galbraith [33] distinguishesbetween

Utilizing such materials not only reinforces these principles and skills but also providesstudents with a bigger picture of their major & curriculum and connects their earlier courses withthis, one of their last required core courses.It has been suggested in the literature that providing the students with more control over theirproject (e.g., brainstorming the project topic(s) or defining their goals) is a best practice, both togenerate and encourage student motivation and enthusiasm about the project as well as toimprove student perceptions of the course as a whole [8], [9].
