This indicated a weakness in our programming as manyteachers were are at this level at Cornell Engineering and many students had multiple classes atthis level when we first did this assessment. We then made changes and added programs tobetter address the solid teaching level.Examples of using this approach to strengthen programming – addressing the paucity of effortfor solid teachers. 1.

previouswork, we presented the design, execution, and lessons learned of a faculty development programfor instructors of introductory engineering courses developed in a Chilean regional university. Theprogram implemented a collaborative coaching model in which methodological experts led teamsof instructors in designing and creating coursework materials and accompanied theimplementation of the courses through classroom support and weekly reflection sessions. A totalof nine instructors started the program, but six continued during the entire year and ended withsuccessful results. Almost five years after the completion of the program, we wonder: How mightthe faculty development experience have impacted in the long-term the instructional practices

All movement [1, 2] has universities throughout the worlddeveloping campus-wide entrepreneurship initiatives in the form of new centers, degrees,minors, courses, accelerator programs, and student organizations. Many engineering faculty arebecoming involved in teaching entrepreneurial thinking due to the connection betweenengineering design and opportunity recognition, often associated with entrepreneurship.However, dissemination and sharing practices have yet to be fully optimized across engineeringfaculty and their institutions [3]. The dissemination of best teaching practices can be done through a variety of formats.Yet, within the academic setting, journal manuscripts, and conference proceedings are the mostwell-documented

Students have flexibility to choose and enroll in PAEs aligned withtheir interests, shaping a personalized and individualized learning path. This approach allowsthem to gain additional experiences tailored to their undergraduate field or explore areas beyondtheir direct specialization. Besides that, PAEs contribute to the development of transversal skills,broadening students' perspectives and equipping them to approach problems from diverse angles.Notably, a single PAE may attract students from different courses and academic levels, fosteringa collaborative environment without registration

ECNQ (acronym forEngage, Communicate, Names, Questions) was designed and implemented as an active anddynamic approach to 1) engage students in the engineering classroom, and 2) disrupt traditionalteaching practices [14]. Particularly, the ECNQ model establishes four communication strategiesthat eliminate intimidation barriers and foster an intellectually rich and healthy environment: 1)verbally encourage student participation during lecture sessions, 2) communicate with studentsbefore and after class, 3) learn student names, and 4) pose non-intuitive questions to spark curiosity[2].According to the model, it is necessary – as an initiative from faculty members – to encouragestudent participation during lectures which is an approach intended to
