This study builds upon that model, exploring a long-termmentorship program designed to help engineering faculty adopt EBIPs effectively. This programpaired experienced educators with faculty, with a focus on collaboration, reflection, and ongoingimprovement.Over 10–15 weeks, the mentorship program included weekly collaborative sessions thatfacilitated dialogue, resource sharing, and problem-solving. A 1:1 or 2:1 mentor-to-mentee ratiohelped provide a personalized guidance, and faculty teaching core engineering courses such asMechanics of Materials and Circuits were specifically targeted, recognizing the discipline-specific nature of pedagogical challenges in these

The electric circuits course is asophomore level course for non-majors that covers concepts related to DC and AC circuits. Thiscourse was offered online for two subsequent years during the summer session. The motivationwas to allow students who desired to get ahead or stay on schedule in their curriculum to do sowhile on internships, co-ops, or research experiences. It was vital that the teaching andengagement standards were not compromised in the transition to online. This institute has asmall

Overall, the findings show that the course is effective in empowering the studentsto be independent designers who have valuable skills to industry.1 IntroductionCreating a practical course is a delicate balance. On the one hand, if it is too practical, studentswill only learn the tools presented and will not be able to generalize. On the other hand, if it is tootheoretical, students will know the foundations of practical tools but will have no practice puttingthat knowledge to use. Most classes in the ECE department at Northwestern University addressthis tradeoff by

The third group is quite similar to many of theattitudes that were listed in the BOK, such as commitment, high expectations, persistence, andthoroughness. The fourth group of characteristics seems similar to the attitudes of fairness,honesty, and integrity.In general, engineering does not seem to readily associate itself with people-orientedattitudes.22,26 The distinction between people-orientation and thing-orientation has been proposedas a potential reason for the low

Formation represents the way in which the relationship was initiated, and in someinstances how it was maintained.
