Themethods used to gather the data included: A) Likert scale perceptions survey of CS andengineering, and B) pre/post questionnaire regarding CS foundations including engineering. Anexternal evaluator collected the quantitative data and the qualitative comments on the usefulnessof the activities for K-12 classrooms and suggestions for improvement. These qualitative K-12teacher responses are shared only as support of the quantitative data. The perceptions surveyswere analyzed using the mean and distribution of responses.

.” Explain a Problem Instructors looking for students to understand the reason behindsolutions to problems can opt for assigning Explain a Problem questions. Explain a Problemquestions are potentially the easiest to assign because they can be created simply by placing thewords “Explain” or “Why?” at the end of any calculation based problem. Example: “Calculatethe maximum velocity achieved by wheel A and wheel B. Explain why they are different.” Theformat of such explanations can be as detailed or simplistic as the instructor desires. How Stuff Works Assigning problems that ask students to explain how different objectswork helps students link classroom concepts to concrete objects, in turn reinforcing the real-world applications of their

Thus, change initiatives should assess these features prior to commencing.This assessment should lead to the development of change strategies to support individual andinstitutional characteristics that promote the use of evidence-based instructional practices.Prior to the start of a university-wide change initiative, we focus on identifying the features ofthree engineering academic departments that are likely to influence improvement in teachingpractices. This research was guided by two questions: (a) Within a doctoral-research institution,what are the characteristics of three engineering academic departments and of individuals withinan academic department that influence the improvement of teaching and learning? (b) Using
