faculty teaching them. Our paper adds to the faculty development literature byinterviewing faculty members about their opinions and beliefs about good teaching (Buswell &Berdanier, 2020; Keltchermans, 2009). This differs from prior literature because it does notengage with what faculty do and do not know (e.g., Borrego et al., 2010; Borrego et al., 2013),but instead interrogates the underlying structures onto which they map knowledge about teachingand learning. Further, we differ from Buswell & Berdanier (2020) in that we directly askedfaculty about their beliefs regarding teaching and learning and we interviewed faculty at a singleinstitution and at a variety of career stages to elicit their conceptions of good teaching.

career – one taken in their first year,and one taken later in relation to their major field of study – but ideally, every student shouldparticipate in one HIP each year in college. Many other researchers have addressed the benefitsand application of HIPs as well [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. A common outcome studied across high-impact practices is undergraduate student retention and academic performance (grade pointaverage). For both measures, the result is positive: students who participate in HIPs areconsistently retained in the programs at a higher rate than those who do not, and HIPs have apositive impact on student performance.Kuh acknowledges in his 2008 article that: “These practices take many different forms,depending upon learner

However, the rapidly changing technology paradigm favors companiesthat bring new and sometimes transformative concepts to market. Companies especially needentrepreneurial-minded engineers who will drive change to make this possible. This is alsoevidenced by many established companies creating infrastructure to build internal “startups”.The Tech Intrapreneurs Program (TIP) is designed to produce intrapreneurs, people that areentrepreneurial within an existing company.
