help them focus on important information and developing concept maps tohelp them make connections to course concepts. When this level of understanding is mastered,students have formed a connection to the material that allows for them to apply it in differentcontexts when necessary [25]. Regarding the difficulty level of the engineering program, thisportion of the ISE-2 workshop aimed to encourage the faculty to engage in active teachingmethods in order to best serve their students throughout the rigorous nature of the departmental-level courses. Strategies for engaging students with the material to best establish a deep level ofunderstanding, with the ultimate goal of satisfactory course grades, were presented and suggestedfor implementation
be enhanced throughinstructional interventions [13], [14]. For instance, in a study of undergraduate drama majors,students drew concept maps of what they viewed as a successful team and engaged in reflectiveself- and peer evaluations as part of their team project; their team skills showed improvement[15]. Likewise, in marketing courses, Lancellotti and Boyd investigated team exercises [16]. Justas engineers may question the value of sacrificing class time to team skill development overdisciplinary content, they sought to understand if such sessions had value. They found that teamexercises increased students’ satisfaction and acceptance of differences, and ultimately improvedteam performance.Commonly, students are called upon to work in teams

Having two eight-week-longcourses in Engineering Math and Physics allowed us to cover just enough material to movestudents to Applied Mechanics course sequence as early as in their second semester (MET 201,Applied Mechanics I).In our two passes (currently, the project is in year 3) so far at our redesign of EngineeringPhysics together with its two Engineering Math support courses, we have found it, via formaland informal class assessments and concept maps, to be advantageous to limit the number ofconcepts covered in our 8-week preparatory course and to constantly foreshadow the role thatthese key concepts play in our subsequent 8-week Physics I course.

The scope of the project includes12 EML-focused chemistry learning modules that include process-oriented guided inquirylearning, real-world context, and hands-on activities in high-enrollment courses. Four chemistryfaculty members are collaborating on this project that could truly transform introductorychemistry for all STEM majors.Creating Value in Biology Courses with a Systems and EML Approach This project is a seed grant that will focus on implementing the Entrepreneurial Mindsetwithin an existing immunobiology course through concept maps, conceptual models, processmaps, and stakeholder/feature analysis. The seed grant will test the feasibility of using these fournovel activities in more STEM courses and also
benefit more from spreading five hours of386 studying over one week then the same five hours all at once. Elaboration has been used to help students387 dive deeper into content and build understanding [120]–[122]. Concept mapping has been advanced as a388 means to increase learning before exams [45].389390 Practicing what the Instructor Preaches391 Instructors displaying active practice of each of the four domains helps students who are struggling to392 adopt such domains. For instance, instructors can display growth mindset in the classroom, giving an393 example of how they want students to adopt such behavioral patterns [123], [124].
