among students toward the subject matter [9].Undergraduate education faces substantial challenges, notably observed in expansive universitylecture classes [10, 11]. These challenges stem from increasing class sizes that make itprogressively arduous for college instructors to motivate students for class preparation andparticipation in discussions. To address this issue, integrating student-led group lecture deliveriesinto the curriculum has been proposed as a potential solution in this study. The importance ofstudent engagement, especially within group interactions, is instrumental in cultivating essentialskills crucial for academic success and holistic development [10]. This emphasis on activestudent involvement spurred further investigation

puta lot of effort in reducing the dropout rate of part-time engineering students, particularly focusingon dropout that occurs during the freshmen year. With this objective in mind and knowing that thestudents’ experience with the first calculus course is an important variable that may lead a studentto abandon his career plan, we decided to implement active learning methodologies [6] to teachthat course to part-time students. As [7] states, active learning methodologies may directlyinfluence social integration and indirectly affect the student’s dropout decision.In this paper, we introduce what we call Guided-Lecture Team Based Learning (GL-TBL), whichis a learning methodology whose core relies on the well-known Team Based Learning (TBL

Under the current model, faculty are often asked to retrofit theircourse for a particular student after the course has already been developed, which can be a verydifficult undertaking [43]. While some faculty members desire education on how their teachingstyle affects learners, such educational resources are often difficult to access [63]. Withoutresources on how to provide an inclusive education, faculty are often unsure what access needsstudents may have (especially those with disabilities and even more so with invisible disabilities)and how those needs could be met [63].PurposeResponding to this paucity in the current body of knowledge, this paper seeks to

Food Engineering CoursesAbstractThe How People Learn (HPL) framework1, 2 was used to redesign two food engineering courses,Introduction to Engineering Design (EI-100) and Food Chemistry (IA-332), to further promotean interactive classroom while integrating multiple formative assessments by means of Tablet PCtechnologies3, 4. The HPL framework highlights a set of four overlapping lenses that can be usedto analyze any learning situation. In particular, it suggests that we ask about the degree to whichlearning environments are knowledge, learner, community, and assessment centered1, 2.

This change fromoptional to mandatory resulted in a significant increase to the size of the class and a fundamentalchange in the ways students were informed of and enrolled in the class. In

rhetorical knowledge, critical thinking, and reading for first-year compositioncourses, composing, writing processes, and knowledge of conventions. The first-year 1composition curriculum emphasizes the rhetorical situation (writer, audience, purpose, andcontext), rhetorical appeals (logical, ethical, and emotional), and genre awareness in the writingprocess [1]. Most first-year composition courses are taught and/or administrated by English orCommunication departments.Although engineering undergraduates learn academic writing in first-year composition or othergeneral education writing courses, they often struggle to transfer the writing knowledge fromthose courses to engineering courses [2].
