Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education

华盛顿大学的工程教育促进中心（CAEE）通过与斯坦福大学、科罗拉多矿业学院、明尼苏达大学和霍华德大学的合作，正在推进工程学习和教学的奖学金。 CAEE是一个多方面的高等教育学习和教学中心，围绕三个核心要素：学习工程奖学金、加强工程教学计划和年度工程教育学院。 该中心的学习工程奖学金包括跨机构的纵向研究学习工程师的重点是从本科教育工程师的发展，通过进入工程劳动力和核心能力和概念的有针对性的研究中央工程。 根据该中心的工程教学增强计划（PEET）的专业发展活动包括资源的识别，以帮助工程教师解决教学挑战，为未来和当前的教师，工程教学组合倡议的专题和研究实践研讨会研究生，和工程教学源的发展，一个基于网络的工具，使工程教育工作者和教学开发人员找到高质量的教学资源。 每年的工程教育学院为工程教师和研究生建立和维持工程教育学者的社区。 这些研究所正在通过增加能够进行严格研究的人数，并成为工程教育研究的领导者和工程教育的变革推动者，来推进工程教育研究基础设施。 该项目由教育和人力资源局本科教育司和工程局工程和教育中心司共同资助。

The Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE) at the University of Washington is advancing the scholarship of engineering learning and teaching through a partnership with Stanford University, Colorado School of Mines, the University of Minnesota, and Howard University. CAEE is a multifaceted Higher Education Center for Learning and Teaching clustered around three core elements: Scholarship on Learning Engineering, the Program for Enhancing Engineering Teaching, and Annual Engineering Education Institutes. The Center's Scholarship on Learning Engineering includes cross-institutional longitudinal research studies on learning to engineer focusing on the development of engineers from undergraduate education through entry into the engineering workforce and targeted studies of core competencies and concepts central to engineering. Professional development activities under the Center's Program for Enhancing Engineering Teaching (PEET) include the identification of resources to help engineering faculty address teaching challenges, thematic and research-to-practice workshops for future and current faculty, an engineering teaching portfolio initiative for graduate students, and the development of the Engineering Teaching Source, a web-based tool to enable engineering educators and instructional developers to locate high quality teaching resources. Annual Engineering Education Institutes for engineering faculty and graduate students build and sustain the community of engineering education scholars. The Institutes are advancing the engineering education research infrastructure by increasing the number of people able to conduct rigorous research and to become leaders in engineering education research and change agents in engineering education. This project is jointly funded by the Division of Undergraduate Education in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources and the Division of Engineering and Education Centers in the Directorate for Engineering.
