diverse setting of India that will be tested and the resultsdisseminated. The overall objectives of this project are: 1. Identify stakeholders and their barriers in teaching engineering at NIT Raipur. 2. Co-design solutions for addressing barriers in conjunction with stakeholders. 3. Develop a curriculum for a faculty workshop that addresses the barriers to teaching engineering effectively at NIT Raipur, including skills in pedagogy, course design and delivery. 4. Conduct seminars and workshops for engineering faculty at NIT Raipur to address barriers in teaching engineering effectively.2.0 MethodologyHuman centered design (HCD) is adopted in this project for understanding needs and valueperspective of stakeholders
specific required deliverables, weekly meetings logistics, and examples ofindividual projects. Evaluation of the success of the Summer Gateway Course Redesign WorkingGroup as determined by the completion of projects and assessments and feedback fromindividual faculty participating in the program is presented. Then a comparison is made betweenthe first and second offerings of the workshop. Finally, the future direction of the program willbe discussed.ECliPSE OverviewThe primary goals of the ECliPSE program are to raise faculty awareness of their personalimpact on students’ learning outcomes and attitudes; to incorporate more active and student-centered learning earlier in the curriculum; and to improve the classroom environment andstudent learning

In thisimplementation, the instructor designed a new module to encourage students to evaluateadvancements in technology with an economic perspective and critical thinking in addition totechnical analysis in an Electrical Power Systems course that covers fundamental principles inthe power and energy discipline.The need to develop low-emission and alternative energy resources is driving

regular contributor to the Improve with Metacognition blog. Dr. Cunningham teaches a range of courses across undergraduate levels with spe- cialization in dynamic systems, measurement, and control. In his teaching he seeks to apply what he has learned from his research, spurring student reflection and metacognitive growth, so that they may become more skillful learners. Skillful learners are capable, independent, and adaptable thinkers who are able to succeed wherever their career paths lead. Dr. Cunningham has industry experience through 7 co-op expe- riences as an undergraduate student, 2 sponsored projects as a graduate student, and as a consultant after joining the faculty at Rose-Hulman. He holds B.S., M.S., and
in the Southwest United States in the midst of an NSF-funded RevolutionizingEngineering Departments (RED) project that had been, in the four years prior, working to bettersupport diverse student success by collaboratively redesigning program curriculum andinstruction. This RED project aims to develop faculty’s capacity to identify and build on studentassets, create realistic design challenges in core courses, and integrate support for writing in thediscipline. The core strategies for this change initiative included implementing facultyprofessional development workshops, integrating a learning scientist and writing instructor intothe department, supporting faculty in conducting collaborative engineering education research,and developing a
