"ExCEEd (Excellence in Civil Engineering Education) Teaching Workshop (ETW)"

工程-土木（54）人们普遍认为，作为一名工程师的成功需要良好的技术知识。然而，雇主越来越强调非技术技能的重要性，包括有效的沟通，团队领导，致力于终身学习，并致力于通过指导分享这些知识。如果这些技能要培养在未来的工程师，他们必须首先灌输给他们的导师，他们自己必须能够作为榜样。因此，工程学院必须有一个特定的和独特的非技术技能。具有讽刺意味的是，与K-12教师不同，批判性教育技能并没有教授给大多数大学教师。这一空白是土木工程师（ASCE）的美国社会继续致力于卓越土木工程教育（ExCEEd）教学研讨会（ETW）的动机。该项目改进了以前在美国军事学院西点和NSF支持下进行的教学教师教工程（T4 E）研讨会。ETW是T4 E的演变，旨在使更多的教师受益。这是一个密集的，为期一周的研讨会，土木工程和土木工程技术教师少于五年的教学经验。一个重要的组成部分是包括来自其他工程专业协会的观察员/评审员，这确保了每个未来研讨会的质量提高，并有可能将此活动传播到其他有兴趣为其成员提供教师发展机会的工程组织。

Engineering - Civil (54)It is widely agreed that success as an engineer requires sound technical knowledge. However, employers are increasingly emphasizing the importance of non-technical skills to include effective communications, team leadership, a dedication to lifelong learning, and a commitment to the sharing of this knowledge through mentoring. If these skills are to be cultivated in future engineers, they must first be instilled in their instructors, who themselves must be able to serve as role models. Engineering faculty must therefore have a specific and distinct non-technical skill set. Ironically, unlike K-12 teachers, critical education skills are not taught to most college faculty. This void is the motivation for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) continued commitment to the Excellence in Civil Engineering Education (ExCEEd) Teaching Workshop (ETW). This project improves upon the Teaching Teachers to Teach Engineering (T4E) workshop previously conducted at the US Military Academy, West Point and supported by NSF. ETW is an evolution of T4E designed to benefit a larger population of faculty. It is an intensive, one-week workshop for civil engineering and civil engineering technology faculty with less than five years of teaching experience. An important component is the inclusion of observers/assessors from other engineering professional societies, which ensures the quality improvement of each future workshop and which holds the potential to disseminate this activity to other engineering organizations interested in offering faculty development opportunities to their membership.
