note = "Funding Information: This project was funded by the Grainger College of Engineering Strategic Instructional Innovations Program (SIIP) that promotes the sustainable adoption of evidence-based pedagogies by forming Communities of Practice (CoPs) consisting of instructors who are committed to the reform effort [3, 4, 5, 6]. While these CoPs can be comprised of any number of enthusiastic lecturers and junior faculty, these CoPs are required to also include senior faculty who can broker the departmental buy-in to sustain innovations and reforms. Further, these CoPs are encouraged to meet weekly. During these weekly meetings, representatives from the SIIP executive teams, comprised of faculty experienced in evidence-based educational methods, facilitate the development and implementation of reforms. This model of collaborative development provides avenues to secure faculty buy-in, organically spread effective practices, facilitate evaluation, and provide just-in-time training for faculty. Following these guidelines, the first team committed to this project consisted of two experienced tenured professors in Mechanical Engineering who frequently teach courses that require or benefit from linear algebra as a prerequisite, one teaching professor in Computer Science experienced in integrating collaborative learning activities into lectures, and one junior professor in Mathematics enthusiastic about using modern tools to help students solve real-world applied problems in the course.; 129th ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition: Excellence Through Diversity, ASEE 2022 ; Conference date: 26-06-2022 Through 29-06-2022",
