Engineering - Other (59)The project is organizing a two-day national workshop of approximately 25 engineering education leaders to identify the knowledge and skills required to lead academic change processes and to design a delivery system to effectively impart the identified knowledge and skills to engineering faculty. The workshop includes interactive sessions to review major international developments that set the context for academic engineering leadership as well as relevant lessons learned from the pre-cursor activities by the workshop organizers, to identify the challenges before academic engineering educators and the skills needed to surmount the challenges, to distill a list of desired leadership skills and parameters by which to guide the development of programs of study by which to impart the desired skills, and to explore options for the design, delivery and sustainability of a new program for developing faculty capacity for academic change leadership. In post workshop activities, attendees are organizing activities on their campuses to engage 250 additional faculty members in further discussion of workshop topics. In addition, the organizers and a small group of engineering education faculty members are translating the workshop outputs into a framework for a formal post-graduate certificate program in academic change leadership that embodies the desired knowledge, skills, and delivery mechanisms identified in the workshop to be offered via Purdue's Butler Center for Leadership Excellence. In addition, they are identifying engineering faculty (and ideally departments or colleges) willing to participate in pilot implementations of the envisioned Engineering Academic Change Management post-graduate certificate program. The evaluation effort is assessing the effectiveness of the workshop and the on-campus follow-up activities, the variety and novelty of the developed ideas, and changes in the participants' attitudes. Results of the project are being disseminated by postings on a website, by presentation at the engineering education conferences, and by publishing and distributing the workshop proceedings. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the material especially through the post-workshop activities, which are engaging a much larger audience.

工程-其他（59）该项目正在组织一个为期两天的全国研讨会，约有25名工程教育领导者参加，以确定领导学术变革过程所需的知识和技能，并设计一个交付系统，有效地将确定的知识和技能传授给工程学院。研讨会包括互动会议，以回顾为学术工程领导设定背景的主要国际发展，以及研讨会组织者从前光标活动中吸取的相关经验教训，以确定学术工程教育工作者面临的挑战和克服挑战所需的技能。提炼出一系列所需的领导技能和参数，以此来指导学习项目的发展，通过这些项目来传授所需的技能，并探索新项目的设计、交付和可持续性的选择，以培养教师的学术变革领导能力。在研讨会结束后的活动中，与会者在他们的校园组织活动，邀请250名额外的教员进一步讨论研讨会的主题。此外，组织者和一小群工程教育教师正在将研讨会的成果转化为学术变革领导力正式研究生证书课程的框架，该课程体现了研讨会中确定的所需知识、技能和交付机制，并将通过普渡大学巴特勒卓越领导力中心提供。此外，他们正在确定工程学院（最好是院系或学院）愿意参与设想的工程学术变革管理研究生证书项目的试点实施。评估工作是评估工作坊和校园后续活动的成效、发展出的思想的多样性和新颖性，以及参与者态度的变化。该项目的成果通过在网站上张贴、在工程教育会议上发表、以及出版和分发研讨会论文集等方式传播。更广泛的影响包括传播材料，特别是通过讲习班后活动，这些活动吸引了更多的受众。
