, simulations, or discussions).This expectation brings attention to the need for the development of pedagogical competencesamong both engineering instructors and students in order to implement new learning andteaching strategies and provide relevant educational experiences to all learners [18].Recommended learner-centered strategies in engineering education include problem-basedlearning, hands-on activities, peer instruction, collaboration between teachers, and a multilayeredapproach to assessment [18]. With most engineering doctoral programs focusing on preparingthe next generation of researchers, there are few instances where future professors and instructorsare being adequately trained in engineering pedagogy. Further, engineering faculty may not

These peer observers have extensive teaching experience, use activelearning strategies in their own classrooms, and are the recipient of teaching awards. They areknown in their departments for leading teaching and learning efforts, with some also involved inthe scholarship of teaching and learning in engineering education. Similarly, the Dean and thedepartment chairs recruited six-faculty instructors to be observed. Both observers and instructorsvolunteered to participate in the pilot study.The six peer observers were affiliated with the

The DLCs will be anopportunity for beginning and future faculty to engage in learning about and critiquingdiscipline-based education research through formal workshops facilitated by faculty in thediscipline. The framework will provide curricular resources to help faculty facilitate theseprograms, thus, lowering barriers to
Careers in Higher Education (COACHE) in which our university participated between2006 and 2011. The Harvard-based Collaborative on Academic Careers in Higher Education,COACHE, is a consortium of institutional leaders focused on the identification of cost-effectivesteps to improve faculty outcomes. University leaders across the nation utilize the COACHEFaculty Job Satisfaction survey as a benchmarking instrument to evaluate job satisfaction andfaculty well-being.NC State administers the survey to faculty campus-wide on a triennial basis. The leadership,including the College of Engineering dean, employ it to explore measures of and changes infaculty satisfaction over time.

education. Collaborative reflection has also beenfound to be useful for improving teaching practices [3], and as such this paper presents an initialstep towards that direction. Currently, most reflection efforts at the School of Engineering aredone by individual faculty members in isolation, yet moving towards collaborative reflection is adirection we intend to move toward.The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) states in criterion 5 foraccrediting engineering programs that faculty must ensure that the program devotes adequateattention and time to each curriculum component, which is consistent with the outcomes andobjectives of the program and the institution [4].
