Likewise, they had ~10 minutes toexchange thoughts at the parking lot just prior to beginning the experiment when theirexcitement was building. In between each trial, the graduate researcher instructed each group tothink critically out loud about the previous trial and how their role affected it. As a result

Aproject course, therefore, that offered a high degree of such interaction, as well as lab spaceavailable for the undergraduate use was very popular. In fact, a case could be made that thepopularity of the project was an expression of student interest in collaborative learning preceptsin contrast to the predominant lecture format.Several factors support the notion that the sounding rocket is an ideal basis for an active learningprogram.

1these concepts. Practices such as interactive engagement through cooperative and collaborativelearning, just-in-time teaching, case-based teaching, service learning, peer instruction and concepttests are some of the most common EBIPs used to facilitate student learning and engagement [8].However, the practices used in classes are typically at the discretion and expertise of the faculty[9]. Therefore, the questions of "What evidence-based instructional practices are currently beingused in first-year engineering courses? How do engineering faculty epistemological beliefs aboutteaching and learning influence what practices they use and their reasons for using particularpractices?" remain.

Retention rates amongcollege students are frequently employed as a metric for gauging institutional accountability andsuccess. Moreover, these rates are increasingly utilized as a basis for allocating resources.Gaining insights into the factors that influence college student retention has become imperativefor institutions of higher education. The ongoing issue of low graduation rates among students inengineering programs remains a significant cause for concern within the higher educationlandscape.

However, when asked about the project, Charlie did not make any explicit connectionsbetween the project and test usage. Instead, they included the project because it was an outcomeof a collaboration with an engineering education researcher, and Charlie decided to keep itbecause they found it different for their students in a thermodynamics course and the studentsliked it.“The credit for the project all goes to [engineering education researcher].
