The University of Kansas launched its adaptation of the embedded expert model in the2013-2014 academic year, beginning in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) andexpanding in 2014-2015 into the School of Engineering. The embedded experts are postdoctoralscholars with Ph.D.’s in the discipline that are hired by a unit (department or school) for threeyears to collaborate with faculty members on the incorporation of student-centered, active andcollaborative teaching practices into four-to-five undergraduate courses.

Engineering Education, 2013 The Impact of Clickers on Your Classroom and Your CareerAbstractStudent response units or clickers enhance student learning by providing immediate feedback toboth students and the instructor. This feedback can be an extremely valuable resource forteaching. In addition clickers increase student engagement with all the material within a class.Not surprisingly, every year there is more quantitative evidence of the value of clickers andricher descriptions of how clickers can be used.This presentation adds to that evidence and those descriptions, but the paper’s focus is a broaderperspective. First, the paper discusses how and why clickers can qualitatively change theclassroom. Second, how the change can positively

Many engineering educators employ software such as CATME [1] toregulate team formation. These programs, which typically focus on demographics and skill levelswith the goal of creating productive teams, tend to work at the individual project level and maynot necessarily account for students’ participation in a series of multiple projects.
