Engineering Education Leadership Institute (EELI)

美国国家科学院支持工程教育领导学院(EELI)的规划和试点，作为一种机制，用所需的知识、技能和能力催化工程学学术界的领导力，创造环境，成功地为工程学学生应对21世纪实践的技术和社会挑战做好准备。EELI将在美国国家工程院的赞助下运作。与a)英特尔公司和其他行业领导者合作，b)万花筒计划和其他经验证的高质量教师发展和领导力培训提供商，以及c)前瞻性工程院长，举办一系列研讨会，了解学术机构当前和未来的工程领导力。这些课程将针对获得领导力、知识和技能方面的最高优先需要而提供，以系统和全面地重新调整其学术和行政活动，以培养出准备非常充分的工程学毕业生，以应对2020年及以后的挑战。除了知识和技能发展外，还将提供持续的基础设施，以支持领导人及其机构在重新调整过程中的工作。2005年夏季将试行一次全面的讲习班，主要机构的代表性样本将涉及有限的专题。我们的成果目标是在与会者中深入学习，在工程界激发更多对我们愿景的认识，促进智力参与，并展示概念验证，这将有助于持续提供2006年夏季开始的工程教育领导力学院的全部课程。智力价值：这一努力将NAE与工业、工程教育和专业发展领域的领导者聚集在一起，向当前和未来的工程学术领导力传授所需的技能。将传授的技能有可能改善工程学院的运营管理，产生更广泛的影响：在所述领域实现工程领导知识和技能的改进不仅有可能提高当前工程课程的质量，而且通过改进教育和管理实践，增加招生和留住学生，以及提高教师满意度和生产率。

The National Academy of Sciences is supported for the planning and piloting of the Engineering Education Leadership Institute (EELI) as a mechanism for catalyzing the leadership of the engineering academic community with the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to create environments that will successfully prepare engineering students for the technical and social challenges of practice in the 21st Century. EELI will operate under the auspices of the National Academy of Engineering. Working collaboratively with a) Intel Corporation and other industry leaders, b) Project Kaleidoscope and other proven providers of high quality faculty development and leadership training, and c) forward looking engineering deans, a series of workshops to the current and future engineering leadership of academic institutions. These courses will be offered respond to the highest priority needs in gaining the leadership knowledge and skills required to engage in systemic and comprehensive re-alignment of their academic and administrative activities to produce the engineering graduates who are extremely well prepared to grapple with the challenges of the year 2020 and beyond. Beyond knowledge and skill development continuing infrastructure that will be provided to sustain the leaders and their institutions during their re-alignment processes. A full-scale workshop will be piloted in summer 2005 with a representative sample of key institutions on a limited range of topics. Our outcome goals are deep learning within the attendees, stimulation of greater awareness of our vision within the engineering community, catalysis of intellectual engagement, and demonstration of a proof-of-concept that will aid in on-going delivery of the full curriculum of an Engineering Education Leadership Institute commencing in summer 2006. Intellectual Merit: The effort brings together the NAE with leaders in industry, engineering education, and professional development to impart needed skills to current and future engineering academic leadership. The skills to be imparted offer the potential to improve the management of operations of engineering colleges Broader Impacts: Achieving improvements in the knowledge and skills of engineering leadership in the areas indicated holds the potential to not only improve the quality of current engineering programs, but, through the improvement of educational and management practices, to increase student recruitment and retention as well as increase faculty satisfaction and productivity.
