demonstrate that overallknowledge is not diminished when peer instruction is the primary form of learning.IntroductionThe authors, along with many other engineering educators, have been strong proponents ofactive learning. Active, collaborative, cooperative, and problem‐based learning have beendemonstrated repeatedly to be more effective than lecture alone [2]. Students are 1.5 times lesslikely to fail in courses that use active learning [3]. When one of the authors was granted aFulbright Scholar Award to teach a biochemistry course in Uganda, the plan was to reproduceteaching methods used in the United States such as clicker questions, think-pair-share, and teamactivities which would be easy for the students to adopt [4].

for Effective Program Assessment of Competency-based EducationBackground: Effective programmatic assessment (PA) is essential for accreditation ofprofessional degree programs leading to licensure. Accreditation organizations for HigherEducation Institution (HEI) programs such as the ABET may stipulate student outcomes.Programs seeking accreditation from ABET must present clear proof of a rigorous process thatuses student work products to assess student outcomes attained. The value of PA results offersentry points for institutions and/or departments to initiate discussions on the status of studentlearning and to make informed decisions on program improvements. The concept of PA is welldescribed in the literature; however, studies on

This method is particularly valuable forunderstanding student thought processes, which is essential for developing effective teachingstrategies and learning environments [5]. Moreover, student beliefs and attitudes they haveentering specific courses can influence their achievement of learning outcomes, making itimportant for educators to explicitly address such preconceptions [6]. One such course in whichstudents may enter with preconceptions is Statics. Statics is a foundational course in engineeringcurricula, serving as a prerequisite for several courses across various disciplines [7], [8].Recognized as a

We administered quantitative and qualitative surveys before theworkshop, immediately after the workshop, and after the teachers implemented the materials intheir classrooms. The surveys indicate that the experience improved teachers’ attitudes towardthe subject, including their comfort in teaching the subject, their enjoyment, and their perceptionof the children’s enjoyment. This effect was particularly relevant for teachers who were notinitially engaged, either because of a lack of experience or lack of knowledge.

A college, as a collection of departments with differentdisciplinary cultures and expectations, may face many of the same challenges as a coalition.There is a trend in colleges of engineering towards increased multidisciplinary education, as forexample, with the capstone design experience. Furthermore, research funding patterns arefavoring more collaboration across disciplines and linking research with education. Thisdirection will require academic units to work more closely together to deliver quality educationin a cost-effective manner. The communication between academic units about education issues,however, is usually minimal. We believe that
