’ understand- ings of core engineering concepts.Dr. Charles E. Riley, Oregon Institute of Technology Dr. Riley has been teaching mechanics concepts for over 10 years and has been honored with both the ASCE ExCEEd New Faculty Excellence in Civil Engineering Education Award (2012) and the Beer and Johnston Outstanding New Mechanics Educator Award (2013). While he teaches freshman to graduate- level courses across the civil engineering curriculum, his focus is on engineering mechanics. He im- plements classroom demonstrations at every opportunity as part of a complete instructional strategy that seeks to overcome issues of student conceptual understanding.Dr. Luciana R Barroso, Texas A&M University Luciana R.

She has also contributed to the training and development of faculty in developing and evaluating various engineering curriculum and courses at UPRM, applying the outcome-based educational framework. She has also incorporated theories on social cognitive career choices and student attrition mitigation to investigate the effectiveness of institutional interventions in increasing the retention and academic success of talented engineering students from economically disadvantaged families. She’s also involved in a project that explores the relationship between the institutional policies at UPRM and faculty and graduate students’ motivation to create good relationships between advisors and advisees.Edward

mustpractice divergent thinking to explore the entire design space, which is an immensely importantskill for developing creative and effective solutions. Learning design via a team-based designproject promotes cognitive skills, social skills, management skills, and positive personal traits.Design and development of an open ended design project is discussed. The team-based projectprogresses over approximately ten weeks in an elementary strength of materials course. Thisprovides a significant design experience for engineering students that helps bridge the gapbetween the first-year engineering design course and the capstone design project that engineeringstudents typically do in their senior year. The project requires student teams to: work together

Traditional online course materials, such as a textbook, additionalreadings, homework practice and text-based materials were supplemented with numerous shortvideos created with an iPad and Doceri program. This program allowed the faculty member todiscuss concepts, work example problems, and perform calculations directly in a video format.

It should be notedthat neither the process of integrating a CI into an assessment for a course, nor the abbreviationof a research tool, is without precedent. For example, Smith, Wood, and Knight incorporated agenetics concept inventory into the final exam6. Additionally, Henderson studied if grading aconcept inventory significantly altered student performance and found that students will put forthan honest effort on concept inventories regardless of the incentives involved7. Henderson’sresult helps justify the Purdue instructors’ decision to provide students with a completion

it is timeconsuming and difficult to implement well. A major hurdle in implementing project-basedlearning environments is that they require simultaneous changes in curriculum, instruction, andassessment—all of which are daunting to faculty members. 12 These barriers to implementingPBL become magnified as student enrollment climbs and certain modes of instruction andassessment become unsustainable at larger scales.Starting in 2012, the introductory mechanics sequence at UIUC has been the focus of a concertedredesign effort. 13,14 This redesign was carried out by a group of faculty working together as amutually supportive Community of Practice 15,16 with support from both a college-level program 17and an NSF program 18 .
