There arethree instructors in the study: Instructor A, Instructor B and Instructor C. Instructor A is the leadinstructional designer and learned FC and active learning from the Transforming STEMTeaching Faculty Learning Program (FLP) hosted virtually by the University of California,Berkley. Instructor A has publications in iterations of the flipped classroom model [20], [21].Instructor C received a grant on diversity-centric learning and project-based learning.

of engineering fundamentals, to enhancetheir capacity for problem solving and communication, and to develop specific engineering-related skills. Here, we describe the efforts of a team of undergraduate students in creating asilicone venous valve model and experimental flow control setup, and in demonstrating the basiccapabilities of the overall experimental system. We describe the process of designing andbuilding the venous valve models and test setup and lessons learned by the students through thisexperience. In addition to providing invaluable experience for the students involved, this projecthas provided a visual demonstration of the function of venous valves, and provides a platform forfundamental research on the effect of venous valve

This information is utilized todiscuss the implementation and effect of a pedagogical board game, "Teaming Tribulations."This game is intended to simulate the arguments that might occur within a design teamdiscussion in a zero-stakes environment. In Teaming Tribulations, students are asked to create aquick design in response to a simple prompt. They then share their designs during the judgment-free "Concept Generation Phase." In the next phase of the game, "Concept Selection andDebate," they must debate with their teammates to select the best design to submit for theirfictional group project

Teaching, lacking such metrics, does not have the same broad recognition ofscholarship (and effort towards training) that research does. When teaching is recognized, it isoften a local award—such as a departmental or college honor—than something that istransferrable between institutions. In fact, many stories exist (and have existed) for decadesabout teaching awards being viewed in a negative light by the tenure and review processes asthey indicate time that might have been spent on technical pursuits (that next paper, that nextexperiment, or that next grant proposal) which are
