| We
have learned over the past years that, in order to make lasting changes in engineering
education, the focus must be on faculty behavior and not on the curriculum or
technology. Faculty must be motivated and supported to change their behavior.
 |
We have found that, although the emphasis will tend to shift toward actual courses
or the classroom technology, there must be deliberate and continued efforts to
help faculty come to terms with the changes needed. This can be provided by workshops
and campus visits where faculty members interact one on one. In addition to the
eight workshops mentioned earlier, FC faculty members have led workshops on: |
 |
Principles for Classroom and Curricular Innovation Active/Cooperative
Learning: Introduction and Applications Active/Cooperative Learning in Capstone
Design Courses Converting Group Projects into Team Projects Developing
an Assessment and Evaluation Plan for EC 2000 |  |
Curriculum Integration: Why and How Technology-enabled Learning in Engineering:
Taxonomy and Applications Curricular Change, Resistance, and Leadership First-year
Curricula and Programs across the Foundation Coalition Faculty Learning Communities
and Faculty Development Designing Classrooms for Education in Science, Engineering,
and Mathematics | - Using Behavioral Profiles to Enhance
the Formation and Performance of Teams
- FC Pedagogies: The Effect on Student
Performance and Retention
The length of each workshop
has been customized from two hours to three days, depending upon the desired degree
of interactivity and participant interaction. Greater interactivity and participation
requires a longer workshop. Also, host campuses can customize content by combining
one or more of the above workshops and working with workshop facilitators to finalize
the content.
