Work in Progress: Rethinking How We Teach in Engineering Through a Course Redesign Initiative (original) (raw)

Abstract

Temple University, responsible for developing excellence in teaching by supporting faculty in implementing evidencebased teaching practices. Stephanie has 30 years of teaching experience, as well as deep experience in mentorship of faculty, curriculum development and academic program management. Her current research focuses on how to improve student success by redesigning courses to align with what we know about how people learn.
