There appears to be a need in the engineering education community forshorter EML activities that enhance students' abilities to learn and engage with technical content.Active learning is described in different ways, and some of them include: a) “..anything thatinvolves students in doing things and thinking about the things they are doing”, b) “involvesproviding opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen, write, read and reflect on thecontent ideas, issues and concerns of an academic subject”, c) “increasing of studentparticipation or ‘interactivity’, for the purpose of

Faculty concern helps students get through rough times and keep on working.

In second and subsequent semesters, returning students help on-board new students,serve as sub-team leaders, and reinforce team practices around collaboration, accountability, anddocumentation. In turn, peer-leadership reduces the burden on instructors, freeing faculty tofocus on higher-order project issues. Students are attracted to VIP for a variety of reasons –interest in the teams they join, practical experience, applying knowledge beyond “regular”coursework, etc. However, whether students return for a second semester depends largely onwhether the course credits they earn in VIP can

Some of the most common concerns were as follows:• Faculty often neglected to outline expectations and responsibilities of the GSIs; thus, GSIs felt overworked and stressed.• Teaching development programs, if they existed at all, did not necessarily include training for common tasks such as grading homework, projects, and/or exams, holding office hours, and preparing a lecture.In addition, participants realized that the concerns of GSIs varied with experience.
