Contributors describe their work in the Inquiry-based Learning Initiative at North Carolina State University and how the program was enforced at the course, major, college, and university levels. They describe how their system, which they maintain enhances critical thinking and student initiative, was developed, interpreted, implemented and assessed in undergraduate and graduate courses. They describe steps they took to expand the program to encompass more students and faculty members, provide course descriptions and web sites, and include chapter references.
