What is necessary to create a change, is for the department or college, to have acomprehensive and integrated set of components: clearly articulated expectations, opportunitiesfor faculty to learn about new pedagogies, and an equitable reward system.Introduction“To teach is to engage students in learning.” This quote, from Education for Judgment byChristenson et al, (1) captures the meaning of the art and practice of pedagogies of engagement.The theme advocated here is that student involvement is an essential aspect of meaningfullearning.

Among the key issues are: (1) the overall lack of curriculummaterials and resources, (2) the lack of professional development opportunities to help teacherslearn how to effectively incorporate PBL in their existing curriculum, and (3) pre-service teachereducation programs often do not prepare secondary STEM teachers in PBL instructionalmethods3.In this paper
