Based on our experience during the 2018-2019 cycle, wedecided to undertake the following adjustments in preparation for our Spring 2020 programassessment: 1. Instead of each individual faculty selecting an ACM CS2013 learning outcome to use as a PI for the student outcome, the department agreed to vote on a set of accepted PIs for each student outcome. The intent is for the faculty to select a PI from this department- approved set. The Assessment Committee will coordinate this PI selection process to ensure sufficient

development by preventing kinesthetic learning and making it difficult for them to move around the room to directly engage the class. 2. The course format did not reflect the pedagogical techniques it introduces: the lectures are largely traditional PowerPoint presentations and lack significant active learning. 3. Many, if not most, engineering faculty have not had any significant formal teaching training nor been exposed to the topics of the course. The course for the first four offerings was only taught by a total of two instructors. Therefore, a major opportunity existed for improving overall engineering instruction – and, by extension, student learning – at Villanova if the course was reformulated to provide

The use of adjunctfaculty has been identified as an appropriate way engineering programs can incorporateprofessional practice issues into the curriculum.4-6BackgroundIn 1986, the Panel on Undergraduate Engineering Education issued a report onEngineering Education and Practice in the United States: Engineering UndergraduateEducation7 addressing many of the issues facing the future of engineering education.

Perrier and Barnes used mixed methods todetermine the essential tools and services required for research data management. They usedfocus groups, together with a rating exercise, to provide valuable information for libraries toidentify key areas and to prioritize areas for development [5].A few quantitative studies identified differences among research domains, disciplines anddifferent faculty ranks.

Faculty acceptance is key to the success of onlineprograms, so understanding these attitudes and perceptions is critical if online programsin engineering are to proliferate4.To help understand the role of perceptions in the adoption of new technologies, theTechnology Acceptance Model (TAM) was developed by Davis9 and has since beenfurther modified, expanded, and refined as the TAM211. The TAM theorizes that theintention to use a particular system is composed of two primary factors: perceivedusefulness and perceived ease of use. Perceived usefulness is defined

Faculty are generally exposed to these best practices through university teachingcenters of excellence sponsored workshops. Unfortunately, these workshops are not mandatoryand faculty tend to rely upon their immediate peers for information. On the other hand, relyingon immediate peers only advances knowledge that is accessible in proximity.Methods: A new forum for best practices dissemination titled, “The Remote Teaching OfficeHours for Faculty” was developed.

Our own research confirms these findings at the University of Michigan (U-M,a large, public research university) where we recently observed a random sample ofundergraduate, lecture-based engineering classes and discovered that the use of active learningand effective student questioning was surprisingly low [2]. To achieve wider adoption ofeffective teaching practices at our college of engineering, we are working to develop aninstitutional change plan. This paper describes one part of that change plan: a series of facultyfocus groups we conducted to explore factors that influence faculty motivation to adopt effectiveteaching practices.We use the Expectancy-Value Theory (EVT, [1, 6

Thisdepends heavily on the nature of the students involved in the organization. Perhaps oneof the most critical roles the faculty advisor is assuring strong student membership, aquality officer group, and continuity of officers. With a good group of officers, advisingis easy. Then the key is to develop and maintain a good officer set. It has been ourexperience that good academic students make good officers.

TAs fulfill the role ofsecondary instructor, supporting a course via laboratories, recitations, grading, and otherteaching activities. Whether faculty or TA, primary or secondary, instructors employ a range ofinstructional approaches to engage student learning and interact with students to develop rapport,answer questions, and further scaffold instruction. Although there remains some confusion inthe literature regarding terms, faculty support generally refers to teaching technique (bothteacher-centered and student-centered) while faculty interactions refer to more informalexchanges with students which include both curriculum and course-based interactions as well asconversations about career and other intellectual matters.

Despite such enormouspotential for negative impacts, helping developing engineers consider ethical aspects of theireventual professional work receives inconsistent treatment in undergraduate programs. Becausefaculty members develop and deliver curricula, studying their perspectives is an important wayto understand how the undergraduate education system might emphasize ethics to a greater (orlesser) degree. The current study helps to address this issue by drawing on a large nationalsurvey administered to engineering faculty.
