some teaching practices are more effective than others when teaching science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects; however, there are very fewinstances where these teaching practices are measured within university constructs. Along withprevious research, there has been a nationwide push for the adoption of research-based teachingpractices in STEM classrooms. We conducted a verbal survey interview with engineeringfaculty, using a modified “Teaching Practices Inventory,” to determine the teaching practicesthat are actively utilized in their respective classrooms [6]. Each faculty received individualfeedback and advice related to his or her responses and collective data was used to determinewhere improvements can be made on a
