AB  - Professional development for engineers is an essential part of career advancement and can include a wide variety of learning opportunities, ranging from asynchronous short courses to comprehensive synchronous in-person courses. Adult learning theory supports the positive influence of student engagement, but this engagement may be different from university classroom settings. There is an abundance of literature that indicates student engagement in the learning experience is important for student learning and other important educational outcomes. There is also evidence that the adoption of engaging teaching practices in professional development settings is limited. Much of the research on adoption is done in K-16 settings, which fails to address the impact among a significant population of adult and professional learners. The purpose of this research is to investigate how a teacher of synchronous engineering professional development (SEPD) courses incorporate engaging instructional practices. We used single case study analysis to closely examine and identify personal experiences and contextual details to illuminate contextually sensitive activities that were helpful in increasing learners' engagement in SEPD courses and could help others understand these phenomena and make changes in their courses. We interviewed one instructor about the course design and use of engaging activities, and the results will inform efforts to increase the use of engaging teaching practices in SEPD courses. The single case study showed this instructor used a variety of different activities to engage students in the learning experience, including self-directedness, life-centered experience, collaborative learning, and expecting a payoff. The instructor shared that previous professional development opportunities and extensive experience trying and improving teaching practices were influential on their current approach to teaching. The results highlight the importance of professional development for teachers, that it must incorporate specific approaches.
