This course was chosen because two sections of the course were offeredand taught by the same instructor in the same semester for the same cohort, which reducedvariables that could have confounding effects on the student perception and learning betweensections. In addition, engaging students in these types of classes is potentially more challengingas students often perceive it as not a “core” course in their engineering major2. This studyaddresses the enduring question “does the use of recent educational

Capstone team projects which have become a standard part of (nearly) every en-gineering and computing program have been especially successful in helping to achieve this goal.The second intended goal of such activities is to help students learn the technical, conceptual mate-rial by engaging in suitable activities with their fellow-students rather than just listening passivelyto lectures. At the same time, many engineering and computing faculty have serious concernsabout introducing such activities to any serious extent in their courses; primary among these con-cerns is the potential negative impact of such activities on topic coverage.

Upon discussing and debriefing students’ solutions,the instructor had students develop their own cases based on their own leadership experiences orpast or current events. The instructor provided additional information on what needs to beincluded in the case (e.g., people involved, setting, problems, etc.). The students are also chargedto develop open-ended assessment questions that allow readers to engage in quality reflectionsabout engineering leadership. Once students developed their cases, they share them with theirpeers and solve each other’s cases

throughout thesemester. Alongside the redesign of learning activities, instructors have also made efforts to rethinkthe organization and delivery of course content. For instance, unlike deductive teaching, inductiveteaching employs a bottom-up approach where students are first introduced to specific observations,data, cases, or complex problems before being taught general principles or rules. While activelearning strategies aims to enhance student engagement in learning and do not necessarily requireinstructor to organize and deliver course content in a more inductive manner, an inductive teachingmethod intrinsically relies on active learning strategies for effective facilitation.
