, Dr. Leilani Arthurs AbstractFew studies have examined engineering faculty use of observation protocols to evaluate teachingin the classroom including those that specifically focus on the Classroom Observation Protocolfor Undergraduate STEM (COPUS). Toward this end, this ongoing pilot study exploresengineering faculty’s experiences utilizing the COPUS tool. Paired faculty teams trained in theuse of COPUS conducted multiple peer observations of instructors teaching both undergraduateand graduate classes within the College of Engineering at a large Midwestern research intensiveinstitution. Upon completion of the paired faculty classroom observations, researchers conductedfocus group interviews with the

the portfolio has two parts, the collectedevidence and the reflective memorandum. For them, the reflective memorandum is the mostimportant component of the portfolio and they would like to use it as a reflection tool, howeverthe current document format does not invite such reflection. The current form requests too manydetails about the course and does not provide a space where the faculty member can write in heror his own words. Faculty members would like to share their findings with their peers afterfinishing a course, and would like the opportunity to also hear about the experiences of others,and further to be able to reflect on and learn from it.The final report will be discussed by the school administrators, and each Department Head

framework for critique by our peers so that we can incorporate their feedback duringthe pilot. We also hope to raise awareness of this project to encourage additional colleges toadopt the framework in the future.We define research-based teaching practices as pedagogical strategies that have been tested usingeducational research methods and published in peer-reviewed literature. Future faculty aregraduate students and post-doctoral fellows who aspire to faculty positions that include teachingresponsibilities, however, current faculty will also be invited to participate in the DLCs.The motivation for this NSF-funded project is that research-based teaching practices have beenshown to improve student learning compared to traditional methods like

-Centered Designclass has been very rewarding for Dalrymple, especially after overcoming the initial discomfortin critiquing Whiteness as a Black immigrant. She especially enjoys having her experienceworking with communities valued in an engineering context.S. M. Lord is a White woman with over two decades of teaching experience. Her interest insocial justice stems from experiences of marginalization as a woman in Electrical Engineering inthe 1980s. During graduate school, she took several courses in Feminist Studies in response toher male peers constantly asking, “What do women think?” These courses gave her invaluableexperiences and some language and theoretical understanding of concepts such as privilege,sexism, racism, structural inequality and

project groups, and each group develops a consensus list ofcharacteristics of exemplary and terrible group members. These characteristics become thecriteria they later use for peer assessment.Over the course of many workshops in several years, we have collected these lists from hundredsof groups and have begun analyzing them for common patterns. We discuss encouraging resultssuggesting that even lower-division undergraduates list characteristics that align well with theconditions that the group learning and project management literatures identify as contributing tosuccessful learning and project completion, respectively.We conjecture that much of the workshop’s value lies in two distinct outcomes: (1) helpingstudents articulate and place

their teaching. Faculty noted 1) theimportance of soliciting additional student feedback beyond traditional student evaluations at theend of the semester; 2) the need for more data regarding student retention and transfer ofconcepts learning in class; and 3) the potential for soliciting additional peer feedback fromcolleagues and educational researchers. At the same time, some faculty were satisfied withcurrent approaches to teaching evaluation and did not perceive anything to be missing. Findingspoint to the opportunity to collect more in-depth, qualitative feedback regarding faculty teachingeffectiveness. In particular, expert consultation and creating more spaces to solicit writtencomments from students might help faculty obtain evaluation
