Preparing Engineering Faculty of the Future: The Engineering Education Scholars Workshop

戴维森9633755我们建议举办研讨会，以帮助有兴趣成为教师的工程博士研究生在他们的职业生涯中取得成功。每个研讨会将持续一周，将有30名博士生从申请者中选出。要求为五个讲习班提供经费，其中一个讲习班从1996年7月开始每年夏季举行。该计划将包括教育和研究会议。在前一类中，活动的例子包括关于学生学习中涉及的认知过程的演讲，关于教学策略的互动讨论，以及允许研讨会参与者制定自己的课程大纲的练习。在后一类中，将讨论如何成为研究生的有效顾问以及如何获得研究资金。讲习班将通过问卷调查和面谈进行短期和长期评价。总的来说，这些研讨会有望对参与的教师的生产力产生重大影响，并对与我们的研讨会参与者互动的其他新教师产生重大影响。＊＊＊

ABSTRACT Davidson 9633755 We propose to conduct workshops to help engineering PhD students interested in becoming faculty members to succeed in their careers. Each workshop will last one week and will include 30 PhD students selected from a pool of applicants. Funding is requested for five workshops, one held each summer beginning in July 1996. The program will include sessions on both education and research. In the former category, examples of activities include presentations on cognitive processes involved in student learning, interactive discussions on teaching strategies, and exercises to permit workshop participants to develop their own course outlines. In the latter category, there will be discussions on being an effective advisor to graduate students and on obtaining funding for research. The workshops will be evaluated using both short-term and long-term assessments through questionaires and interviews. Overall, the workshops are expected to have a significant effect on the productivity of those faculty members who participate, and on other new faculty members with whom our workshop participants interact. ***
