As pedagogical beliefs have been proven to be significantly impacting teaching behavior [15],faculty professional developments could focus on changing instructor beliefs about active learning. Onceconvinced about the effectiveness of alternative approaches to traditional teaching, faculty memberswould be more open to trying various active learning strategies.The fact that collaborative learning and problem-based learning were the most commonly usedapproaches and the

such as grade inflation, excesstime planning and grading for the instructor, perceived fairness in when or to whom it is offered,lowering of academic standards, and a belief that during a semester a student has ampleopportunity to achieve the grade they truly deserve. A further contention is that extra creditassignments can induce a moral hazard (Wilson, 2002). In this situation the fear is that byoffering students extra credit they perceive less risk in performing poorly and will not study asthoroughly, as they will have the option to make points up in the future. The proponents of extracredit tout its ability to give students a second chance, rectify an exam which may have been toodifficult, or explore topics in further detail than scheduled

There are several possible reasons for this.First, offering a minor degree is a conservative first step into plans to eventually offer a major inone of these fields. Secondly, graduates with minor degrees are more attractive to aerospaceemployers, compared to those who do not have any aerospace related qualifications (even if theyhave an engineering bachelor’s degree in another field). This becomes more important if there isa large number of aerospace industry or government employers in proximity to the academicorganization.

Epistemicpractices are vital to student success when learning discipline-specific skills and knowledge [3-5]. Epistemic practices are systems of processes for generating and evaluating knowledge used todevelop epistemological understandings. In this case, an engineering design framework serves asan epistemic practice to better understand calculus concepts [4].
