benefits that higher education offers citizens, communities,and our society, there is also considerable skepticism. The Chronicle of Higher Education hasrecently pointed to the lack of quality teaching which the public and students value but oftentimes is not a priority and not rewarded equally to research at many higher education institutions(McMurtrie 2023), ineffective use of teaching evaluation processes (McMurtrie 2023), extremecosts of higher education that keep increasing, etc. The public’s declining faith in highereducation is a concerning and a pivotal moment in the history of higher education. Publicexpectations of higher education are good teaching and meaningful learning to lead to well-informed citizenry and a skilled workforce

Teamwork skills are alsohighly related to leadership skills [2,5] which are important for engineers in industry [4,5,6].Students are given an opportunity to practice leadership skills through teamwork in engineeringcoursework [7,8]. Teamwork itself is a practical skill for engineers, and it teaches many othertangible skills such as leadership, conflict resolution, and communication through itsimplementation [2,5,9,10]. Lab reports are commonly used in engineering education to teach avariety of skills, including but not limited to, technical writing, communication, time and projectmanagement, and teamwork. These various skills are developed when engineers write ab

(Adams et al., 2016) found that there wereno significant differences on recall of the three laws of motion between the groups. They alsofound that there were no significant differences on measures of physics reasoning (selected fromthe Force Concept Inventory) or measures of spatial cognition (mental rotation and perspectivetaking) between groups studied. In fact, they concluded that there were no significant differencesin physics learning between groups, which indicated that although the educational game (Portal)was developed to teach students physics’ instinct and

separate, and even independent of each other” (p. 2). The student learningcontexts considered in this framework include social context, academic context, and institutionalcontext. Social context mainly refers to personal relationships, group memberships, and inter-group connections. The academic context primarily involves opportunities for reflectivejudgment and critical thinking, constructivist classroom teaching methods, interdisciplinarycourses, experiential learning, and integrative conversations with faculty in all domains. Theinstitutional context refers to rewards structure and campus culture. The framework suggests thatthese three contexts, students themselves, and learning outcomes are interconnected andintegrated.In this paper, we

2national laws and departmental cultures. Coupled to the diversity of specializations within asingle discipline, this landscape is richly complex.Explicit instruction necessarily involves more top-down organization, driven by faculty leaders[9]. Faculty leaders must obtain resources for ERC courses, workshops, and other teaching-vehicles, then assign instructional duties to faculty, and allocate resources to them. Explicitframeworks can be more coordinated, but they may decrease individual instructors' real orperceived sense of responsibility for enculturating students to professional norms. Theeffectiveness of ERC instruction will also be affected by students' perception of its importance.Explicit structures for training may lend gravitas to ERC
