To participate in the course transformation program,engineering faculty had to write a proposal for the courses they wanted to redesign, withendorsement from the department chair. Faculty who participated were expected to evaluate anddisseminate the outcomes of their course transformations to other faculty in their department,especially when other faculty were to teach these redesigned courses.

To overcome this deficiency, we have instituted a new research methods course for seniors, which is co- taught by an Architectural Engineering Professor as well as an English Professor. Another resource is the research librarian at the university library; we have asked them to make a targeted presentation to our students. Finally, we have developed a research guide, which we handed out to students to show the proper format for report writing, and it contains suggestions of how to use engineering databases and what not to do when using internet resources.AssessmentInitial assessment is subjective.

The instructor then discussed the roles of leaders, managersand producers on teams. He pointed out that every student will serve as a leader and as amanager on at least one of the five group projects. The instructors assign the teams and identifyboth the leader and manager on each project.

During the 3rd week of the course, the students were introduced to functions whichmade repetitive code more efficient and programmer-friendly. By this time, the moreexperienced programmers were actively helping the less experienced. Peer work always workshand-in-hand with teacher instruction. In the 4th week, before students would begin their finalprojects, the final objective was to program the remote controller. The course was designed thisway to ensure that students would not

The literature related to strengths-based educationsuggests that incorporation of student strengths into the learning environment may enhancestudent engagement and motivation [16], [17]. For neurodivergent students, such as those withADHD, who may struggle to maintain interest and motivation within the traditional classroom, astrengths-based approach may be particularly impactful.

Along with the 5-point scale, students were also able to leaveanonymous feedback about their opinions of the course. A response from one of our peers sumsup our views on the course by saying, “If you devote the time and energy to [our professor’s]class[,] it is extremely rewarding as you will come out with coding experience, 3D modeling, aswell as tangible products and technical writing.”The course also helped us with our time management skills.

various pedagogical techniques that a facultymember employs to connect and teach students. The traditional teacher-centered pedagogy isassociated with top down, hierarchal pedagogy that reinforces passive learning, rolememorization, and hinders the development of higher level cognitive skills ( (Duckworth, 2009;Cristillo, 2010). On the other hand, student-centered pedagogical strategies which promotekeeping students actively thinking, writing, comparing, and applying new knowledge result indeep learning and better student performance (Weimer, 2002; Wohlfarth, et al., 2008).
