These are summarizedbelow:(a) Even though there exists rich empirical evidence about the success of student-centered approaches (e.g. project-based, inquiry-based, active learning, etc.) in improving student motivation and learning [1-5], most engineering instructors at FAU continue to follow traditional method of unidirectional lecture-based instructions.(b) In an effort to improve teaching and learning, Florida Atlantic University has sponsored more than twenty five Faculty

This report is used to provide a proficiency score andcomplementary feedback throughout the semester regarding the individual’s learning anddevelopment. Rubrics are employed as a guideline for the instructor to assess studentdevelopment toward achieving course learning outcomes relevant to particular student work.Student final course grades (i.e., A, B, C, etc.) are then determined based on their progresstowards achieving the course learning outcomes according to an established grading policy (seeAppendix A).

Typically, students learn about team skills inaddition to the course content. Engeström5 identified three stages characteristic of collaborativelearning. In his view, for learning to be truly collaborative, students must (a) work towards ashared problem definition, (b) cooperate to solve the problem, and (c) then engage in reflectivecommunication, reconceptualizing the process. Similarly, Johnson et al.6 argue that there arefive basic elements critical for cooperative work to be
