identified needis proposed in Appendix B. This plan could also take into account other faculty aspects (e.g.,research, administrative training). In the proposed plan, a given program is characterized byfaculty career stage and considers six elements (participation, complexity level, funding, programtype and evaluation). This elements are explained in the following paragraphs.Participation of faculty members in training programs could be mandatory or not according toindividual departmental hiring and promotion policies. To date, no policies are in place; everydepartment has its own policies. Regarding incentives, it is known that faculty members’participation might increase with the providing of incentives. Complexity level is defined as

students thought about whilewriting at the start of the semester (1A) and the concepts the report having learned by the end ofthe semester (1B). At the start more than half (14 out of 26) think about concise writing,followed by clear writing and good word choice. The “active voice,” organization, structure, anda thesis were of concern to approximately 17% of students. At the end of the semester about halfof the respondents (11 of 23) report learning to be more concise. Note the changes in ranking ofconcepts and the inclusion of more formal writing concepts at the end of the semester, whichmay indicate that students are now working with the formal concepts.

While theseinterventions are all highly synergistic with each other and with broader university-levelinterventions, the introduction of a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in the School of Engineeringserved as a keystone to the Engaged Learning Initiative. The first engineering Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow was present in the school fromAugust 2014 – May 2015 (PDTF A), and the second from August 2016 - present (PDTF B).Both PDTFs were hired through an open external search process, with the explicit goal that

This result could be for a variety of reasons; the itemcould be very new or old, rare, otherwise unavailable, or Parks Library may already have the itemavailable and be able to fulfill the user’s request through Course Reserve or general checkout.

the other half of the totalizer system. For that we use either Red LionPAXI or CUB5B totalizer units, and put optional RS485 serial data and set point cards in them.The students program them to count upward on both A (for a customer count) and B (for a dailycount) channels when they receive a wired signal from a hole or trough, and to reset the A countvia an external reset signal. They program each unit’s communications to 19200 baud, 7 bit odd.So that the intake table can also be used as a counting table for output to a vendor, each hole alsohas attached to its counter a Banner EZ-LIGHT S18L GRXP LED light. The students wire andprogram the set point relays for each hole to change the light from green to red when a certainbag-full count is

Some of themajor insights that college administrators obtain from these aggregated results are: (a) students arestressed and nervous during the first few weeks of school, (b) students look for financial aid, and(c) students have or seek on-campus and off-campus jobs.This knowledge could lead to scheduling additional counselling support at the start of the semesterand communicate the service to new students. Financial aid, a notoriously confusing system, maybe even more confusing to new students. Administrators could create special workshops at the startof the semester or preferably before the semester begins

Introduction to electricity (voltage, ampere, resistance, etc.) During this lecture, students will learn about the wiring skills and how they can use the tools and components. Students will been asked to draw electrical schematic diagram for the circuit. Students will learn the skills of how to convert schematic diagram into actual wiring using many components. Students will learn how to select the right tool to perform the task. b.

using a blended delivery with four 3-hour face-to-faceclass meetings and weekly online learning activities. It was generally believed that this approachaligned with the work demands of the participating teachers. This delivery structure providedapproximately 1800 minutes of instruction over a semester. The face-to-face class meetingswere held in the media center of the participating elementary school. The CALC course focuseson (a) what is argumentation, (b) how to implement argumentation, and (c) how to use collectiveargumentation to learn how to code within the context of mathematics and science contentlearning. The objectives of this CALC course are (a) enhance teacher knowledge ofargumentation and its application within the context of
