approach to supporting both faculty and students. Through this intentional redesignthat embraces college strategy, we seek to improve the quality of engineering education for ourstudents and quality of work-life balance for our instructional colleagues.Contribution to Engineering EducationDespite decades of evidence articulating the benefits of hands-on learning, its adoption inengineering has been slow and limited in scope at many institutions. Given the complexdynamics in institutions, we posit that our redesign plan will support transformation in our owncollege and offer a model for other institutions to follow. Our intended changes will include 1. Professional staff collaborating with faculty to implement evidence-based

©American Society for Engineering Education, 2024 The Implementation and Assessment of the Effectiveness of Peer Teaching Instructional Technique in Lecture and Laboratory CoursesIntroductionPeer teaching is based on Bandura’s social learning theory, Piaget’s cognitive development, andVygotsky’s social constructivist learning theory [1-2], in which knowledge is sociallyconstructed by consensus among peers. The basic principle of peer teaching is that teachingsomething to others is an effective way to learn it [2-3]. Peer teaching involves students acting asboth teachers and learners, assisting each other in gaining knowledge and understanding throughinterdependence [4]. By teaching others, students

They are also examples of both active learning and collaborative learning[2] , which have been shown to increase student learning and conceptual understanding of basicconcepts (as reviewed in [2] ). Therefore, they are an important and necessary component of anyhigh-quality engineering education program.In traditional in-person engineering education, projects and labs typically utilize existinglaboratory equipment and manufacturing capabilities of the school. In recent years, however,there seems to be a growing demand to make these interactive projects and laboratories availablefor remote participants, either as a part of an online
