Techno-pedagogical training provides faculty members with the skills requiredto design and deliver effective instructional materials and activities with the means adoptedby the students. At present, the focus of upskilling is in four major clusters (a) contentknowledge; (b) pedagogical knowledge; (c) pedagogical cum technical content knowledge;and (d) technology cum pedagogical knowledge, as shown in figure 1.

By the end of the AWP, 27 authors had drafted 71activities in 17 areas of CS. Fifty-eight activities were revised and approved by the programas ready for classroom testing. Almost all of the authors planned to use the developed activitiesin their classes (88%) and share them with others (78%), while 75% planned to develop moreactivities. Almost all (88%) felt that the writing process impacted how they teach with POGILactivities. Thus, the AWP is an effective model to support faculty and produce quality activities.1.

Our goalis to train and certify our faculty in the latest technologies, enabling them to guide students indeveloping integrated smart manufacturing systems that utilize industrial robots and PLCs fortasks like material handling, painting, assembly, and CNC machining. According to studies byDeloitte and The Manufacturing Institute, the skills gap in manufacturing may leave an estimated2.4 million positions unfilled over the next decade [3].

In the teaching portfolio,the faculty member documents 1) evidence of student achievement of learning outcomes, 2) howthe learning environment is used to motivate learning, and 3) the faculty member’s efforts tocontinuously improve as a teacher. The portfolio, essentially a teaching journal, is regularlyupdated and constitutes a real-time, growing record of the teaching stewardship.Then at each step of the tenure process, a snapshot of the portfolio is taken and

Research hasshown that students who were trained to reflect on their work outperformed those who did nothave a similar opportunity [2]. For instructors, reflection allows for valuable insight intostudents’ learning processes, the identification of students’ needs, and the opportunity to makenecessary adjustments to their teaching methods for improved student outcomes.Based on Boud et al.[3], we define reflection as follows: "reflection is

A profession is a group that is “organized toearn a living by openly serving a certain moral ideal in a morally permissible way beyond whatlaw, market, and morality would otherwise require.”[1] Some of the elements of a profession arethat it

foregone conclusion, faculty have responded with varying degrees of enthusiasm,resignation, and denial. And as with most issues of pedagogy, there is lively disagreement amonginstructors about whether and how to use LLMs with their students [1][2], with some prohibitingLLM use and others swiftly integrating them into their course assignments [3][4][5].Lagging behind an enthusiastic integration of LLM-based course tools by some in highereducation is a serious discussion of ethical concerns and questions about LLMs themselves; thisfailure may stem in part from a reluctance to voice concerns in the face of institutionalenthusiasm and pressure to “fully embrace” LLMs or risk being labeled a “dinosaur” [1][6].Regardless of cause, this lack of discourse

These pedagogies have proven to be more effective than thetraditional “chalk-and-talk” passive lecture methods, and include challenge-based learning (e.g.,problem-based learning, project-based learning, case-based learning, inquiry-based learning [1])and a multitude of active/collaborative techniques (e.g., think-pair-share, quick think, jigsaw, andgallery walk).

However, these barriers are often discussed at a surface level,making it a challenge to ascertain which departmental, institutional, and cultural changes must bemade to form an effective catalyst towards EBIP adoption rates.Due to the inherently complex

In engineering education,EBIPs are commonly used, however, some techniques have historically garnered more interestand attention in the engineering education domain. There is an abundance of researchdemonstrating the utility and effectiveness of EBIPs and their useful applications in engineeringdomains. However, rates of adoption of EBIPs in engineering courses lag behind facultymembers’ awareness of them [2].Several factors can lead to decreased uptake

Much attention has been paid in theliterature to the effectiveness of various types of mentoring in helping faculty navigate P&T [1] -[3]. We add to this literature by focusing on the role of pre-tenure peer reviews as mentoringopportunities. These reviews are often conducted in the third year and could serve as a mentoringmoment to help faculty gain a deeper understanding of P&T standards, expectations, and wherethey stand in their progress toward tenure. To learn more about the effectiveness of these reviewsin helping faculty prepare for P&T, we conducted
