Regarding academic engagement,students report in interviews that faculty behaviors influence student academic engagement, andthat small adjustments to faculty behavior could improve student engagement. When observingclasses, we observed that lecture still predominates in the engineering classroom; however, weobserved a modified lecture style that was occasionally used, in which we observed a highstudent academic engagement and faculty interaction that typically occurs only in active learningenvironments.

In an effort to curb copying, the computationalbased problems were designed so that the numerical values changed with each attempt. Home-works were graded with a two part mastery score, meaning students only received credit for thehomework if they mastered each part of the assignment. Students were permitted two attemptsto achieve the necessary mastery for Part A and an unlimited number attempts were permitted toachieve mastery of Part B

Teaching loads are usually fixed, but individual facultymay have options on how to meet that load. They may choose more or fewer differentcourses, multiple sections of an individual course, a combination of undergraduate andgraduate classes, or a combination of face-to-face and distance-education classes. Onthe assumption that new faculty can learn from the experience of others, a survey wasadministered to faculty from across the country, primarily in engineering

We used the model with engineeringfaculty at five institutions. The groups focused their work on the design andimplementation of research-based, interactive teaching strategies.The focus of this work is using ongoing faculty development as a means to broaden theuse of research-proven instructional practices in engineering courses. Jamieson andLohmann explain the need for pedagogical research to connect with the needs ofinstructors 1. There is a long-standing gap between research about interactive teachingstrategies and the implementation of those strategies in classrooms. In our project, weattempted to bring
