Education Reform in IndiaAbstractIn this Work-In-Progress, we aim to initiate a human-centered design thinkingapproach to engineering education reform at the National Institute of Technology(NIT) Raipur, India. In using a human-centered design approach, we will developmutually collaborative solutions with, rather than only for participants, whileopening up a broader space for innovative thinking, dialogue, and reflectivepractice. Today’s global, knowledge-driven economy is giving an impetus to theengineering educators to produce more and quality engineers with a mindsettoward global innovation and an international outlook. Unfortunately, mostengineering faculty are not well prepared for this educational reform. This is alsotrue in India, a

Recent findings showed that these coursetransformation projects did help in improving student achievement and faculty active teachingpractices [9]. We have also found that it has helped faculty, particularly new faculty members,develop their teaching as they transition from graduate school or industry jobs to academia.Students also found that the active learning approaches that the instructors integrated in theseredesigned courses were useful to their learning [9, 10].

Based on these findings, the we propose a high-level conceptual framework ofgroup development specific to the development of collaborative communities aimed to supportresearch goals within engineering education. To confirm preliminary results, we are solicitingfeedback on the proposed conceptual framework.The field of Engineering Education is a relatively new discipline that has been growing innumber of researchers and students in recent years [2, 3].

Simplybased on probability, this approach provides the highest chance that at least one member of thecouple will progress to a negotiating position in a search. For cases where only one matchingposition exists, there were differing opinions regarding when a candidate should announce thepresence of a partner.From the administrators’ perspectives (Dean, Chair, Program Manager), the response was, “theearlier the better” because dual career hires frequently require collaboration across departmentsand/or schools (engineering, arts and sciences, business, education, etc.) and budget decisiontimelines are in parallel with or earlier than final hiring decisions.In contrast, the other faculty panelists had a
