Abstract :
All engineering faculty members in the eight universities that comprise the SUCCEED Coalition were surveyed about their use of a variety of instructional methods and their perceptions about attitudes toward teaching on their campuses. The results provide a unique snapshot of engineering education at a transitional moment in its history. The same survey will be administered two years and four years from now. The results should provide an indication of the degree to which the SUCCEED faculty development program is meeting its objectives, which are to promote facility adoption of proven instructional methods and materials and to improve institutional support for effective teaching.
