society. Why will a Practitioner find utility in this approach? Most of the engineering education practitioners use natural sciences and deductivemethods both in their research as well as in their teaching meaning that they need toobserve and present their findings in a logical and bias-free context5, 61, 14. This applies toboth the classroom as well as the laboratory. There is very little, or no space at all, forresearcher-based personal, inductive or intuitive interpretation 36, 61. Conversationalstorytelling and the SBL method become engaging only when it is storyteller-based.Meaning both the teacher and the student. It is all about interpretations and emotions13, 33.As for engineering education this means that the method is

The presentation and accuracy of these solutions weregraded in real time.The flipped classroom in this study was a senior level heat transfer class of 65 students, whichalso included a laboratory component to reinforce the learning of the classroom. The professor,who was experienced teaching the course, had become concerned about the level of learning andperceived lack of engagement on the part of the students. The flipped class method seemed to bea possible solution, since it had given indications of better understanding of course material.5Because this was a senior level class, the professor recognized that when the students graduatedin a few months, they would need to be able to take initiative and have knowledge to apply totheir heat

onespecific example, this participant talked about choosing to teach classes that relate to hisresearch interest and background so that he can optimize both his teaching and researchinterests. “…the courses I tend to choose to teach are courses that are related to my background, related to my interest, either laboratory or hands-on. The senior-level course is a new course that I had developed, the one I teach in spring, and that was based on my interests -- started out as just materials, and gradually evolved toward the role of materials in construction and constructability, and so the senior course I teach is on reinforced concrete construction, and we talk about constructability issues, not just how
fresh Ph.D. graduate has a lot ofhands-on experience in research and experiments or simulations; however, a fresh graduate hasvery little exposure to the fundamentals of teaching. To become a successful tenure-track faculty,a new professor needs to provide excellent teaching, groundbreaking research and outstandingservice to the department/university. Through Ph.D. level research the candidate learns to be asuccessful researcher by building laboratory experiments, performing simulations and publishingarticles in top-notch journals. An aspiring tenure track faculty candidate has the right motivationto provide outstanding service to the university by serving on thesis committees, taking activepart in faculty meetings, bringing in new ideas and

This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including laboratoryexperiments.

EngineeringIntroductionGraduate student instructors are essential to the teaching team at many research institutions.They often lead laboratories, discussion sessions, and/or hold office hours; and are the primaryliaison between students and faculty. As such, they not only influence student learning, but theycan also be agents of change and improve student retention [1]. Therefore, the training of studentinstructors is critical to enhancing the student experience as well as the classroom climate.Additionally, meaningful assessment of student instructor professional development is criticalfor ensuring quality of such training.To support their key role in the teaching-learning environment, the College of Engineering (CoE)at the University of Michigan requires training of
