What are some of the best practices that leaders could bring to classroom or laboratory teaching?For this work, 10 academic leaders were asked to complete a survey to gather recommendationsfor best practices in teaching engineering courses. These leaders include the dean, assistant andassociate deans and department chairs at a comprehensive engineering university in the south-eastern United States. The results of the survey are as follows: 1. In a leadership role, what are your suggestions for academic leaders and administrators to maintain high

Creative communities provide a synergistic environment thatencourages ongoing, informal (non-certified) learning experiences out of whichinnovation emerges predictably and organically.

First, teaching undergraduate students is very different than teaching graduate students.It is easy to assume too much. Second, students appreciate the opportunity to provide input onthe course. Also, when introducing non-traditional teaching methods such as group assignments,it helps to reiterate the importance of these assignments in the middle of the course when thestudents have a better understanding of the subject matter. If an immediate benefit (such asperformance in a subsequent laboratory course) can be shown, students will be more receptive toinnovative teaching

mid-career employees and military personnel [4]. In order that the onlineeducation is at least equally effective (if not better) than face-to-face education in traditionalclassroom in all aspects such as academic quality, rigor and outcomes, appropriate teaching toolsmust be developed to suit the online teaching / learning media. In this regard, we believe the casestudy based education is one of the superior tools to deliver an equivalent laboratory experiencefor the online students!The process for developing case studies in described in section 2, a fully developed case study inthe domain of software testing is presented in Section 3, the instructions and teaching notes aregiven in Section 4, pedagogy and educational outcomes are discussed
attitudes in students are developed using structuredlectures, laboratory session, and projects. For most of the students, it is very difficult to see theconnection between topics covered in the lectures or in the course. Thus, there is an urgent needfor focusing student attention towards the fundamental or core ideas related to the topic underdiscussion as take away points. We implement a teaching approach with “thought bubbles”,commonly used in arts and cartoons, to present core ideas to students as discussion questions.“Thought bubbles” (aka clouds) are used to pose as introductory questions for initiatinglecture/discussion and as concluding thoughts. This approach helps student to be attentive and tograsp what will be covered during the session
