Description/Abstract
The Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) at the University of Tampa focuses on a scaffolded approach to engage students in the process of inquiry and enable students to acquire the skills required to plan and complete an inquiry-based culminating project. The process begins in First Year Experience courses where inquiry is introduced and is further developed in major courses that have been revised to include inquiry projects. Finally, the QEP has increased the number of opportunities for students to participate in research-based culminating projects. In this session, we discuss the lessons learned, the adjustments made, and the outcomes measured to date.
