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.

Table 2 summarizes the number of individuals in each session and the Freemandegree centrality associated with each session’s Fig. 4 interaction network. The cohort 1 and cohort2 sessions were both found to be decentralized, validating the unstructured rotation phase’s goalof the Antigua Forum format. The low centrality score (close to zero) indicates that almost everyparticipant interacted with a larger number of other participants. Comparing the centrality scoresof the Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 sessions, it is evident the Cohort 2 session had more uniqueconversation interactions occurring. This trend is also somewhat visible in Fig. 4, with moreparticipants in

Lastly, a majority of participants reported typicalemotions throughout Spring 2021 with the percentage increasing from 60% at the start of thesemester to 78% by the end of the semester.

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

Thedifficulty of navigating all of the pitfalls that can present themselves when attempting to weave aprogram like this across six different colleges and schools cannot be understated, but the benefitsof it outweigh the trouble.
