[CCoE Notice] Faculty Development Opportunity

[Lewis, Lindsay R]

There is a teaching workshop being conducted this summer at Bucknell University, July 20-22.  The workshop "How to Engineer Engineering Education," now in its tenth consecutive year, is designed especially for engineering faculty and graduate students who want to:

*  improve the quality of the classroom learning experience,
*  develop clear instructional objectives and assess learning outcomes,
*  use active, collaborative or problem-based learning techniques and
*  enhance the teamwork and problem-solving skills of their students

Location and Financial Information

*  The workshop is held in the College of Engineering on the Bucknell University campus in Lewisburg, PA.
*  Workshop Tuition and Meals:  $650 for applications received before May 15th and $700 for applications received after May 15th
*  On-campus dormitory room ($150) is available but optional
(NOTE:  Tuition and meal payments are non-refundable after May 30.)

Apply on-line at:  http://www.bucknell.edu/EngrEduWorkshop

Applicants are accepted on a first come, first served basis and will generally be notified of their status shortly after their application is received.  Questions should be directed to Prof. Michael Prince, Chemical Engineering Department, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA 17837; phone: (570) 577-1781, e-mail: prince at bucknell.edu<mailto:prince at bucknell.edu>.

Bucknell's College of Engineering has a long history of sponsoring workshops on topics relating to effective undergraduate engineering education.  This latest workshop is the result of a three-year project (Project Catalyst) at Bucknell to develop, with NSF support, a model for the systemic improvement of undergraduate engineering education.  I expect this workshop will be a unique opportunity to explore some of the best methodologies for enhancing undergraduate engineering education.

Please take a few minutes to think about a colleague or two who might be interested in this workshop and pass the information along to them.


Sincerely,

Michael Prince
Professor of Chemical Engineering and Workshop Coordinator
