, and retain the focus on improving teaching and learningat a research university. Some strategies are discussed for effective engineering education foracademics in leadership roles. A survey of academic leaders in the college of engineering at anemerging research university is conducted to inquire about effective teaching methodologies. Theresults of the survey are discussed. Suggestions are provided for academic leaders andadministrators to maintain high quality teaching. Similarly, some of the pitfalls to avoid as anengineering professor are highlighted. The best practices that leaders could bring to classroom orlaboratory teaching are examined.KeywordsAcademic Leader, Leadership, Teaching, Engineering Education, Administrator.IntroductionAt

This comparison is critical inhighlighting the advancements and improvements brought about by the project-basedapproach. The findings from this study offer valuable insights and evidence for the merit ofintegrating hands-on hardware programming in early engineering education, suggesting atransformative shift in teaching computational thinking to engineering students.IntroductionThe concept of computational thinking, fundamentally defined as the cognitive process offormulating problems and articulating their solutions in a manner executable by a computer[1-3], stands as a cornerstone in the education of

Such studies help researchers andpractitioners create a meaningful learning experience for students across various disciplineswhere metacognitive skills (self-regulation) are required as part of the workforce.A significant contrast exists in the teaching and learning approaches used in STEM educationcompared to non-STEM disciplines and in the activities in which students are involved.
