Incorporating HIPs into courses can increase student engagement andlearning. The HIPs approach promotes active learning characterized by: a) an emphasis onthe interaction of students with their instructor through in-class activities; b) collaborativeinstruction between the student, the instructor and peers about substantive matters; c)instruction providing

For this instrument, the researchers used a 20-item questionnaire and suggested the possibility of three higher order factors: (a) Logical thinking skills (e.g., develop a statistical model of an engineering process, analyze data with a modeling and simulation software); (b) Communication skills (e.g., effectively communicate and document to wider audience progress through the engineering design process ); and (c) Problem Solving skills (e.g., work well with hands, think practically to find a solution to an engineering problem).

attracting and retaining diverse candidates? There was no clear answer to this question. Most groups acknowledged that the BSET programs were probably less diverse than even traditional engineering degree programs. Some school representatives said, “Our school is better than most,” but there was no data on this question.10. What is your primary source for finding faculty? B) How have you overcome challenges? C)Have you hired traditional faculty and offered them the opportunity to work in industry over the summer? Faculty hiring was widely acknowledged as a big problem. Some institutions require PhD-level candidates and 3+ years industry experience which is extremely difficult to find. In addition, most academic institutions don’t

As with Fast Track, it was felt that something higher than “goodstanding” (i.e. C-level work or 2.0 GPA) would be appropriate to avoid lowering the quality ofthe programs by flooding them
