It also provides the practical content ofthe workshop, allowing readers to use this material and these methods to create impactfulexperiences on their own campuses.

Ultimately, the goal of this project is to enhance adepartmental culture in Mechanical Engineering where faculty regularly discuss currentcurricular effectiveness and are empowered to develop pedagogical innovations that enable allstudents and faculty to thrive.For the first objective, our aim is to help faculty reduce effort and risk in implementingpedagogical changes.

education became a scientific inquiry in theU.S. between 1890 to 1910 with the goal to innovate curricular design as well as pedagogicalpractices. Engineering education as a discipline and research field aims to assist students by a)providing evidence-based practices to instructors on engineering practices [2], b) ways toenhance students’ learning experiences [3]; [4], c) incorporating effective teachingmethodologies for students [5]; [6], d) integrating technology in the classroom [7]; [8]; [9], e)refining assessment methods [10], and f) enhancing curricula to meet the needs of students andimplementing strategies to better equip the next generation of engineers [7]; [11]; [12].Understanding engineering education from a historical perspective, it

These initiatives include digitallytransforming the faculty development program [1], rebuilding existing resources such as thelearning management system [2] and the university makerspace [3], and harnessing existingsocial networks [4]. Rather than documenting similar institutional initiatives for instructionaldevelopment, in this paper we investigated the process and the results of instructionaldevelopment among faculty members after a couple of years of involuntary changes in teachingand learning during the pandemic.Specifically, this study examined the following three aspects of instructional development amongfaculty members of a Canadian engineering school: (a) changes in teaching practices; (b) theevolving views
