Abstract

Numerous avenues exist for faculty to learn about new pedagogical techniques, but these techniques rarely make it into practice, even by experienced and motivated engineering educators. They often suffer from the perception of 'that won't work because my classroom is different.' The focus of this session is to help faculty explore this perception and to identify new techniques for potentially overcoming this limitation. Using the Diffusion of Innovation framework, faculty will be guided through several activities to explore ways of adapt known evidence-based instructional practices to a variety of classroom setups and course styles. They will then have the opportunity to confront the limitations they hold about implementing them in their own courses.
