About Us

This compendium of pedagogies of engagement has been produced by the ENGagement In eNgineering Education (or ENGINE) SIIP team.

ENGINE is a multidisciplinary community of practice dedicated to investigating pedagogies of engagement. Our goal is to move beyond traditional content delivery methods by exploring diverse teaching strategies that foster student mastery of course concepts while enhancing their emotional and cognitive engagement. Via discussions and collaborations with undergraduate and graduate students, faculty peers, learning center staff, and regular guest presenters, we strive to develop, test, and promote the relationships between engagement, cognition, and emotion and to better understand how they may inform our teaching and learning practices. Recent efforts suggest that pedagogies of engagement can make teaching more enjoyable and learning more powerful, especially during these critical days of online delivery.
