changingdemographics in the United States point to the need for revolutionary changes in thepreparation of engineers (Jamieson & Lohmann, 2012; McGee & Bentley, 2017; NationalScience Foundation, 2014). Engineering education researchers have argued the educationalbenefits of deductive or student centered learning strategies (Felder, Brent, & Prince, 2011;Prince & Felder, 2006). In this paper, we describe one college’s attempts to enhance facultypreparation and pedagogical practices with the goals of improving student engagement andpromoting deeper learning. We offer three specific examples of alternative teaching strategiesas evidence for those who wish to consider moving away from the traditional technical lecture.Problem-Based Learning in

But women’sexperiences of choosing to leave (if temporarily) their scientific careers are rarely random in thisway, and the outward leaking does not model many women’s choices to re-enter a faculty careerlater in life.Our goal with this overall research project is to develop new, more accurate models tounderstand women’s career experiences.

These include time management and effective learning skills -the ability to take notes, read a technical book, prepare for an examination and produce logical,intelligible homework. A desirable adjunct to this is to help the students assess their preferredlearning styles, both understanding how they absorb information and how they interact with Page 5.417.3instructors and other students.
