The low rate of the adoption of best practices inteaching and learning can be attributed to the variation in training among individual educatorsand a lack of time to learn about and implement new teaching strategies.

Four course outcomes were adopted: 1) Develop creative solutions byapplying engineering design, math, science, and data analysis, 2) Construct an effectiveprototype or model using technology and tools, 3) Demonstrate improved power skills(communication, teamwork, information literacy, professionalism), and 4) Employ NSPE Codeof Ethics to examine case studies and extrapolate for other situations.

Furthermore, the LCA reflection assignment served as a valuable component, providingdirect evidence of students' understanding of the significance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) inengineering designs.

By having the students participate in the self-assessment processand reflect on their experiences, each student is able to identify outcomes which have not beenachieved and develop a plan to achieve all ABET outcomes prior to graduation. This proactiveself-assessment prompts students to identify weak points in their education and has the potentialto shape better student outcomes, filling all the ABET student outcomes and preparing studentsto be well-rounded engineers.[12].

The standards were developed along with experts from the university’s Center forExcellence in Teaching and Learning and the School of Education. Anchored in a strengths-based approach to neurodiversity, the standards focus on three main areas: 1) building a cultureof inclusion, 2) instructional design and inclusive teaching practices, and 3) enhancingcommunication and supports for students [41].

inquiries and discussions have brought to light several issues with thereliability and validity of SETs as the primary measure of teaching quality. There is mountingevidence that end-of-semester evaluations are biased and represent an imperfect measure of aninstructor's performance. They may not accurately reflect the true quality of teaching, or at thevery least, they are unfair [6], [7], [8].Transitioning from traditional paper-based surveys to electronic ones in higher education, whilecost-effective, presented certain drawbacks, particularly in terms of significantly reducedresponse rates, which led to skepticism about the validity and reliability of SETs [9], [10].The limitations of SETs have led to continuous calls for a more comprehensive and
