innovation must be recognized and supported byadministration. Like research, faculty get to choose with whom they collaborate, creatingcollegial partnerships rather than receiving mandated course assignments. These principles areenacted through simple principles such as convening regular meetings (e.g., weekly) to discusscourse development even among non-instructing faculty.Through SIIP, a number of RBIS have been adopted in core engineering courses. These RBISinclude project-based learning, problem-based learning, flipped courses, peer instruction, andcontext-rich collaborative problem solving. This last RBIS has been adopted by many CoPs witha high degree of fidelity, meaning that there was a consistent implementation of the keyresearch-supported

One disadvantage is thatthis style of delivery requires much preparation. A second disadvantage is that novice speakersoften lack the confidence that they will remember the planned and practiced sequence of ideas.What Expert Engineering Speakers Do: Fashioning Sentences on the Spot Historical writings reveal that the best speakers of science and engineering do not readfrom manuscripts or speak from note cards or projections of bulleted lists.7 Rather, thesespeakers fashion sentences on the spot, but after practice with a planned

The MATLAB® modeling and simulation components of the engineering statics ELMreduces the time that students usually dedicate to computation. When students solve problemsthat have several equations and unknowns, they often commit manual errors.

Lower anxiety may be dueto an increase in confidence, experience from completed coursework, and internship or full-timejob offers. However, the motivation of students remained constant, which means that theyexperience similar motivation levels when performing projects. This may be due to the fact thatfreshmen start school with a high level of motivation, which remains high throughout theireducation.
