To facilitate this approach, the curriculum was developed around key concepts andquestions, rather than around lectures and information dissemination. By creating general areasof inquiry that span across disciplines, multiple faculty could provide the perspectives of theirown disciplines to inform a broader understanding of the topic relevance. For example, on thetopic of environment and society, the engineering faculty led the discussion and

For example, Busch-Vishniac andJarosz (2004) suggested that integration of team experiences to the curriculum of engineeringthat traditionally had been left to senior year, in earlier years would improve the reputation ofengineering and help students enjoy the academic experience more. Similarly, Gunasekera andFriedrich (2009) argued that the dominant theory-based and not value-oriented pedagogies inSTEM “alienate those students who learn best in creative, cooperative settings that considervalue and emphasize design and synthesis” (p. 162).Intentional instruction about teamwork, particularly when it emphasizes diverse teams andinclusive work practices, offers students professional skills they need to be successful, while

We should be intentional about usingassessment results in an actionable, impactful way. The tenets of CIPF deem both assessment ofteaching and student learning essential. Assessment is an imperative and integrative componentof critical pedagogy that addresses classroom diversity. If assessment is used properly, it cantransform the hegemonic relationship between students and instructors.
