Research Into Practice
The research into practice series, compilied by CASEE staff, summarized and distils current literature in educational psychology, sociology, and behavioral science into single page briefs focused toward engineering instructors (Teachers Integrating Prior Scholarship, TIPS and Data-Driven Engineering Education Practices, DEEP) and administrators (Responding to Administrative Priorities, RAP). The intention is that these briefs bring relevant social science research to public eye of those involved in engineering education. More information is available here.

Topics include:
Balancing Teams through Accountability:
Testing as a Memory Booster:
Cramming:
Diversity in Teams:
Note Taking:
Question Friendly Environment:
Tools for the Online Learning:
Advantages of Direct Mastery Learning Activities
The Impact of Faculty Attitudes and Activities on Student Recuritment and Retention
And many more
