projects in education need to createconnections between research results and the concerns of instructors in the classroom24. Othershave pointed to the need for changes in professional development for engineering educators inorder to increase the connections between research-based teaching practices and classroomuse25,26. There are a multitude of practical questions faculty have about incorporating suchinteractive teaching strategies (e.g., whether to grade or assess student work? what kinds of tasksare useful?). Our professional development model could be characterized as a professionallearning community27. Borrowing from K-12 models for teacher professional development thatemphasize the need for ongoing, sustained professional development

Each of these implementationstyles has advantages and disadvantages. External volunteer attendance sessions allow for a betterrelationship between the peer leader and the attendees.

Testing was also rated on a 1-5 scale, where 5 indicates that prototype verification testingis complete and 1 indicates that testing was not planned or discussed.

At any point in the drawing process, students could submit their work to receivefeedback. Upon submission, the tutor evaluated the student drawing to determine the mostgeneral/important understanding for which the student needed help.
