Dear Academic Administrator,

 

Below is an announcement for an educational workshop on effective
teaching strategies for engineering faculty, to be held this summer at
Bucknell University.  I would appreciate it if you would circulate this
to faculty in your program.  The workshop, now in its ninth offering, is
targeted towards engineering faculty at all experience levels as well as
senior graduate students.  Teams of faculty from the same institution
are particularly encouraged to apply.  Please feel free to contact me if
you have any questions.  

 

Thank you,

 

Dr. Michael Prince

Workshop:  How to Engineer Engineering Education 
July 19-21, 2010

For the 9th consecutive year, faculty from Bucknell University are proud
to offer this hands on workshop for engineering and science faculty and
graduate students to enhance their teaching by:

cognitive levels
	*	Using active, cooperative, & problem-based learning 
	*	Teaching teamwork and problem solving skills 
	*	Assessing learning outcomes 

PREVIOUS WORKSHOP ATTENDEES HAD THESE RESPONSES 

"Wonderful... Marvelous.  This workshop was well worth my time.  Several
very practical examples and helpful practices were given to me in this
week.  The coaches practiced what they preached and did an excellent job
in illustrating the principles."

"I have been to several workshops (5 or 6), this was the best I have
been to.  It was beyond my expectations." 

INTENDED AUDIENCE

graduate students) who are interested in designing their courses around
important learning outcomes, making their classrooms more active, and
incorporating problem solving and teamwork skills into their courses.
