The approach used in this report began with an initial faculty workshop that wasused to generate discussion and solicit input to better understand the perceived strengths andweaknesses of the current curriculum, as well as assessing the perceived needs of the facultyregarding curriculum redesign.Following that initial workshop, a committee of department faculty working with a professionalfrom the University Teaching Center began the process of evaluating and renewing thecurriculum. The
of those were EiE units, andfour were of the comparison curriculum. Each of the four comparison units was similar to eachof the EiE units with regard to the engineering field of focus for the unit. The four EiE assignedunits are listed and described in Table 1. There are common features across all of the EiE units for the E4 Project. Each unit has anassociated teacher guide and student workbook. The teacher guides are extensive –approximately 150 pages in length – and include objectives, connections to science content,materials lists, assessments, and lesson plans written in detail. The student workbook contains allstudent worksheets and reflective journal pages that students use throughout the unit

Faculty development efforts were originallyenvisioned as a way to keep faculty current in their discipline, because it was assumed that if youknew your discipline, you could teach it [2]. However, in the 70s and early 80s, facultydevelopment efforts shifted to focus on instructional development [3]. Much facultydevelopment literature and institutional efforts have focused on initiatives that may be describedas planned or formal, taking the form of workshops and seminars [4]. However, informal, peer-driven approaches to

Their focus wasinsights in two areas: student preparedness for learning and factors that could affect interest andmotivation. The team sought a general understanding such that they could plan content andactivities that were appropriate and engaging for the entire class.This technique may have stemmed from deep knowledge of prior students that has grown into acomposite image over time, and the assumption that future students will fit into this composite.For example, the instructor’s insights came from having taught the same class several times inthe past.

, that is, theidealized vision of the curriculum design put forth by designers in the printed materials used forthe course. Yet, it must be noted, curricula are generally not implemented as planned, and maynot even unfold the same ways under the guidance of the same teacher in different class sections.Consequently, analyses of the intended curriculum paint a foundational but incomplete picture ofa course that gives so much attention to in-class group project work. To address thisshortcoming, Porter and colleagues22 distinguish the intended from the enacted curriculum. Theenacted curriculum refers to the specific content as it is actually taught by teachers and studiedby students during the course of learning and instruction.Analysis of the

This approach aligns seamlessly with Kolb's experiential learning model, as students engage with concrete experiences through hands-on project work, practice reflection during reviews, develop abstract conceptualization through planning, and pursue active experimentation through implementation (Dukart, 2017).• Problem-Based Learning (PbBL) - Problem-based learning focuses on students collaboratively solving complex, ill-structured problems with multiple possible solutions.

IntroductionThe discrepancy between the number of Black students who complete a college degree comparedto their white peers has been of national concern for many years [1], [2]. In engineering, thisproblem persists and has been exacerbated in the last decade by stagnant growth in awardeddegrees for Black students [2], [3]. Factors contributing to this educational gap may result frominstitutional racism in an institution’s policies, values, and

The controversialliterature on Britain’s industrial decline to which The Long Shot clearly belongs describes aculture devoted to short termism which would account for the closure of the Registry and thechange in ethos of the VTF [19].5.
