The planning processinvolved in such a transition and its effectiveness was investigated by using themechanical engineering department in a leading R1 university as case-study,where a departmental policy of promoting active learning methods inundergraduate classes was newly implemented. Professors and teaching assistantsinstructing mechanical engineering courses in this college were interviewed tounderstand the steps they went through to transition to using more active methodsof teaching. Data collected from instructors-of-record in 5 different sophomoreand junior level courses revealed their

Though Practice 8 was demonstrated in Classroom B,there was little opportunity for it in Classroom A, so it was not included in the analysis.This review informed the decision to focus on practices 4, 6, and 7, which involve working withdata, explaining phenomena, designing solutions, and engaging in argument from evidence. Toanalyze the student data for these three practices, we broke them down into sub-practicesaccording to NGSS Appendix F [1] for grade band 3 to 5 (see Table 1).For each classroom, we coded for sub-practices first with the richer data

In addition, industry partners and speakers are invited. Activities are scheduled to bethree hours long and consist of lesson plans and a guided lesson. The lesson plans are printed andprovided to help students with formation in case they get lost or stuck during the lesson. Mentorswalk the room and help the students individually to make sure everyone can persevere whilechallenges are issued to advanced students to keep them working. The Tech

The objectives of this research helps fulfill thefirst three steps of the PACE plan: 1. Reach young students. 2. Provide STEM related curriculum to small rural schools (providing access to all students). 3. Help students complete a degree by receiving concurrent high school and college credit.On a much larger scale, the contribution of this research could not only help preserve theexisting engineering and technology
