The experience also providesour new instructors a much higher maturity and experience level before the first semesterbegins and prevents on-the-job training from interfering with the students’ education. The Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering (CME) ensures that theirnew faculty are prepared to teach by administering an in-depth six-week trainingprogram. New faculty are so well prepared that students rarely can tell that they are brandnew faculty teaching their first semester. This paper will describe the CME facultytraining program that effectively prepares teachers to actively engage students in thelearning process to increase their success. We will present the

In recent years, it has been widelyacknowledged that classes designed by utilizing PBL Project - Based Learning are effective inenhancing the problem-solving ability of university students.

In a project based learning environment the learners are “actively engaged in workingat tasks and activities which are authentic to the environment in which they would be used” witha focus on “learners as constructors of their

Additionally, the survey askedstudents to rate how easy or difficult the 16 inclusive team-based learning activities felt, giventhat team-based activities can involve intercultural exchange.
