Such insights from faculties’ perspectives exclude the students' learning outcomesfrom taking courses that adopt CUREs, indicating future research into this area is needed. Fromthese results, we found that faculty see a future in the implementation of CUREs in theengineering discipline and recognize the value of research experiences in undergraduateengineering courses.This relatively small sample (n = 21) of CUREs reveals a high potential for future applicationand advancement of CUREs within engineering courses.

In the past decades, with thediversity of the needs of society and the students’ career paths, the professional requirements havebeen significantly different from ten years ago. The standard-based curriculum could not matchthe needs for a while.Typically, most higher education institutions adopt a standards-based curriculum.

Hennessy, stated clearly thegoal for online learning: “While the gold standard of small in-person classes led by greatinstructors will remain, online courses will be shown to be an effective learning environment,especially in comparison with large lecture-style courses” [6, p. 3]. It is important to note thatmost educators hold the traditional classroom setting to be the standard to which online coursesshould be compared. However, John Hennessy differentiates large lecture courses from smallseminar courses. The difference is significant, since the

increasedinvolvement with the material. As you become more comfortable with active learning exercisesand group work, you can expand their use in the classroom. Conversely, if you are not comfortablewith a particular exercise, the students will pick up on that, and the exercise has a much lesserchance for success. In summary, the introduction of active learning does not have to mean the abandonment oflectures and the formation of a large number of self-paced challenging group exercises. Not onlycan it be insinuated into the traditional classroom format, I believe that it has a better chance forlong-term success if it is introduced in this fashion.Bibliography1. T. A. Angelo and K.
