return bonus.After the first year, at least one instructor returned each year, mentoring new instructors.Planning ProcessInstructors are coached to use a backward design process in the course design process. First,instructors identify learning outcomes for the class as a team and then break these down intoindividual learning outcomes for each subdiscipline/instructor. Next, instructors research andselect assessment methods, including formative and summative assessment strategies for theoverall course and individual instructors. Then, instructors develop methods for grading andproviding feedback before developing learning activities and associated grading aids.Along the way, instructors develop the syllabus, rubrics, lesson plans, and online

Scaffolding Reading and Notetaking in a Digital AgeAbstractInnovative engineers depend on technical reading as a primary means of lifelong learning.Several scaffolded course activities encourage the practice of reading and notetaking in acollaborative learning environment. In lower-level courses, students receive brief instruction inHow to Read a Book[1], Cornell notes[2], and Sketchnoting[3]. Student Note assignmentsrequire students to take hand-written notes while reading the textbook and post a picture of theirreading and class notes to an online discussion board.

Monday. The lab experiment related to the material and homeworkstarts on the Monday following the due date and continues through that week. All lecture notes,homework, projects, and labs are posted prior to the start of class in multiple formats. Thetextbook is presented online in the TopHat engagement tool and includes videos, sampleproblems, and example data to provide multiple routes to learning the material. This course doesnot have exams as the grades are determined by the homework, in-class work, lab reports, and aterm project done with their lab group.In Fall 2020, in response to the pandemic, the course was taught in a hybrid mode whichcontinued through Spring 2021. During that time the university launched a campaign to raiseawareness
students for assignment submission, reflection submission, self-ratingquizzes completion, and to share course material (e.g., syllabus, list of learning objectives,self-evaluation excel template, content videos, readings, solution keys).The course outcomes emphasized both technical and professional skills development. Thefour technical content modules in the course were: 1) conservation of mass, 2) fluid flow(pipes, fittings, and pumps for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids), 3) fan selection, and 4)thermal preservation while developing. Problem-solving skills development was a cross-cutting outcoming. The course also strongly emphasized students’ professional skilldevelopment. This emphasis complemented the development of students’ process
