approach. In the discussion, webuild recommendations for collaborative professional development of faculty and discuss nextsteps.We draw on the literature of professional learning and instructor development, which purportsthe following tenets of effective practice: a) professional development should continue over timeto create change [3], b) professional development should build on the lived experiences offaculty learners [4], and c) professional development should be reflective in nature [5] . Ourcurriculum design features a spiral introduction of materials [6] described in the literature asreviewing concepts over time with greater depth at each iteration [7]. Our effort of embeddingsocial responsibility in the computing curriculum draws on other
and campuses, and evenwithin many individual campuses, that made carrying out some of the major goals of the grantsuch as development of a system-wide faculty dashboard and administration of the grant itselfquite challenging.Additional important factors that contributed to the challenges are: a) considering the CSUsystem is predominantly a teaching institution, faculty Co-PIs tend to have much higher teachingloads. The grant budget underestimated the time required by the faculty. b) The powerdifferential between the faculty Co-PIs and administrators could hinder the progress. This is especially true when there are several tenure-track or tenured faculty without any administrative experience serving as Co-PIs. The faculty can certainly

Engineering Education, 2023 Faculty Development by DesignAbstractBased on fourteen years of work by the McCormick Teaching Excellence Institute in CornellEngineering (MTEI), this evidence-based practice paper presents a framework for planningprograming focused on engaging all our engineering faculty with their own next step towardsteaching excellence.As an R1 school, most of our tenure track engineering faculty are focused on research, but theyare also aware of the growing push towards more student-engaged teaching methods than purelecturing. However, perceived barriers (especially time) frequently limit actual, personal change.We have developed a teaching pyramid that categorizes teaching levels by competence
