]. Research-based teaching practices. (RBTPs)encompass a long list of instructional practices that have been shown through research to be effectivein improving student achievement, engagement and persistence in STEM fields. These RBTPs include“the use of cooperative learning; problem-based learning; peer-led team learning; process-oriented,guided inquiry learning; and project-based learning over lecture-based teaching” [15]. Endeavors tofind solutions to complex societal problems often require collaboration between industry andacademia. This can be further formalized and integrated into the engineering classroom to providenew ideas for industry, incubate entrepreneurial interests in students, and provide a guaranteedpathway to an engineering career

It is imperative that instructors take into consideration students’ concerns when establishing the grading policy. Students need clarity and specificity in this regard; it is an important component of the course and should be properly addressed at the start. The course grading policy should take into consideration some likely questions such as: How often are tests given

Until the study of engineering literature is recognized to the extent of being installed in the regular curriculum, so that the student may understand it to be part of his require course and think of it in these terms, there is a sound psychological reason for his regarding it lightly.”53In the mid-1920s, growing public concern about the perceived erosion of quality in engineeringeducation programs prompted SPEE to undertake a multi-year study of the problem. In 1926,SPEE issued its report, which recommended, among other things, that engineering schoolsinclude more courses on “humanistic” subjects and economics.54 The issue continued to fester inthe late 1920s and early 1930s.55 Even President
