A University-Supported Course Re-Design for Engineering Physics

The Foundational Course Transformation Academy is a new initiative at the University of Notre Dame. This 3-year process guides and supports a team of faculty members as they redesign a large-enrollment course. Engineering Physics was selected as the first course to undergo this process. The guiding principle in this redesign process has been to follow a learning-centered process that improves both the student and faculty experiences in the course. The effort is supported by a team of learning experts, institutional data on trends in student preparedness and performance, and data collected through surveys and focus groups of current and past students and instructors. This poster will describe the collaborative support provided by the university as well as the changes that students will see in Spring 2026.
