Universidad del Turabo in Gurabo, PuertoRico. The SFIP is a five-year, externally funded, faculty development program that began in thesummer of 2012 and runs until the summer of 2016. The intention of the program is to diffusethe use of innovative and effective teaching practices in a manner that will promote lastingchange in the entire engineering and physics faculty of Universidad del Turabo. The programtargets new as well as experienced faculty members. The SFIP takes place during the month ofJune and provides a stipend to participants. It is divided into an intensive one-week trainingworkshop that is followed by a three-week immersion where each faculty member transformstwo courses. An expected transformation is the selection and adaptation of

Students are often identified as the primary beneficiary of these collaborations.Students benefit from exposure to professional practices, as well as non-engineering constraints(e.g. economic, legal, regulatory). Furthermore, students are able to develop a professionalnetwork.

At most institutions, it will require a significant paradigm shift in faculty behavior. It is unclear how to effect such changes; there are conflicting opinions on whether faculty are motivated by intrinsic or extrinsic factors.
