With a particular focus on training students to fulfill the shortage ofengineering professionals in the country, there are significant undergraduate enrollment demandsplaced on a limited group of faculty. This results in lower division courses that have 250+students in a single lecture hall with a primary instructor and only 3-4 student teaching assistants.In spite of this, faculty remain committed to excellence in

model was used to drive the reform of the course Introductory Dynamics. This course was redesigned to achieve three goals: (1) improve students’ low engagement and enthusiasm, (2) improve instructors’ experience and reduce their high workload, and (3) maintain and elevate the current standards for content. Introductory Dynamics is one of the core second-year mechanics courses in our engineering curriculum, serving approximately 800 students per year. Course revisions have led to the adoption of a spectrum of evidence-based practices such as context-rich, collaborative problem-solving sessions, and classroom response systems. These efforts have improved student satisfaction with the course and have

Differences exist among codes to reflect unique areas of technical focus, and codesare updated periodically in response to changing social and professional values.

Faculty are used to being the “experts” and due to the lack of priority and/ortime are not properly motivated to become experts in the development and delivery of effectivehybrid courses.

surprising that Davies study of the vocationalpreferences of dip.tech students found that only 27% of the engineers and 11% of the appliedscientists said their aim was to become a manager [19]. Whether they thought managementwas part of what an engineer does is not clear because Davies separated management andteaching out as a specific career options.Andrews and Mares also interviewed industrialists, and those who commented, took autilitarian view of what should be studied [20]. Their results led them to suggest that thesyllabus (content) should fall into four main divisions –language and communications,technical studies, social studies and optional (e.g in the humanities and creative arts).
