research and is frequentlycited as an effective way to link faculty research to undergraduate teaching. Unlike traditionalteaching methods, inductive teaching introduces topics by presenting specific observations, casestudies or problems. Theories are taught or the students are helped to discover them only afterthe need to know them has been established. Bransford, Brown, and Cocking [2] have surveyedextensive neurological and psychological research that provides strong support for inductiveteaching methods. Ramsden[3], Norman and Schmidt [4] and Coles [5] have also demonstratedthat inductive methods encourage students to adopt a deep approach to learning.

These data includeprogrammatic data such as retention data as well as initiative or program specific data. Thesedata are collected in recurring efforts as part of longitudinal assessment and periodic evaluationof unique programs. More resource intensive data collection means such as interviews are usedto calibrate and validate the less resource intensive efforts that are carried out every year. Thesuccess of the FrE program can be attributed to the blending of the scholarship of teaching andthe scholarship of discovery in engineering education.
