The Engineering Management Study Abroad program consisted of atwo-week intensive Stevens course, taught by a Stevens professor in Italy. To furtherenhance the experience, students from the University of Mexico, Guadalajara and theUniversity of Naples also participated in the 2013 course. It ended up being one of themost popular study

-centered teaching practices are known to have a positive impact on student success. There isincreasing evidence that using techniques such as active learning in the classroom and working toincrease student motivation can improve student learning, knowledge retention, and persistence (9, 10).Despite the large body of research supporting these effective teaching practices, there are several barriersto faculty’s adoption of them. Such barriers include, but are not limited to, lack of familiarity with thepractices, inadequate time to apply new teaching practices to their courses, and the possibility of studentresistance (1, 4, 7).In order to support engineering faculty in adopting effective teaching practices, we designed andimplemented the “Teaching
