The Chemical Engineering Division of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) will hold its 15th Chemical Engineering Summer School on July 21-26, 2012 at the University of Maine. The Summer School, initiated in 1931 and currently offered every five years, is the premier teaching training workshop for new chemical engineering faculty.The Summer School is unique in its emphasis on the development of new chemical engineering educators. There is no other educational forum which is comparable in scope - targeted specifically toward training new chemical engineering faculty. And no other engineering discipline has a comparable forum offered on a consistent basis. By targeting faculty at the beginning of their careers, professors can become more effective educators ? more capable of producing better qualified undergraduate and graduate chemical engineering professionals. In the Summer School, new faculty learn how to integrate the latest developments in the field effectively and seamlessly into the chemical engineering curriculum. The Summer School also aids in the career development of new faculty by providing them extensive resources and network opportunities.Historically, around 200 new chemical engineering educators attend the Summer School each time it is offered. Thus, the Summer School has enormous broad impact, as new faculty become much more effective at educating the next generation of chemical engineers. And, the Summer School has a proven track record of effectiveness with testimonials from previous attendees confirming its value. The teaching abilities of new chemical engineering faculty are improved significantly, and the breath and timeliness of new topics incorporated by these faculty into courses taught at their home institutions is enhanced. Student evaluations of the teaching capabilities of new faculty who attend the Summer School increase significantly.The 2012 Summer School will both capitalize on the many successful aspects of the previous Summer Schools and include several novel aspects. Innovations include the addition of international faculty participation (both faculty presenters and early-career faculty), collaboration between industry and academic representatives in the workshop presentations, and the industrial Q & A panel session. The 2012 Summer School will also emphasize the linkage between research/teaching and engagement with external constituent groups, including industry, K-12, and other stakeholders. This linkage will be emphasized via an NSF session, a day-long Teaching Institute, and through workshops in career development, K-12 engineering education, and combining research and educational scholarship. Finally, an additional assessment instrument will be introduced which gathers input from faculty participants approximately one year after their attendance at the Summer School. This instrument will both help confirm the longer- term impact the Summer School has on participants and provide useful feedback for improving the School even more in the future.

美国工程教育协会（ASEE）化学工程部将于2012年7月21日至26日在缅因州大学举办第15届化学工程暑期学校。该暑期学校于1931年启动，目前每五年提供一次，是新化学工程教师的首要教学培训研讨会。该暑期学校的独特之处在于它强调新化学工程教育工作者的发展。没有其他教育论坛在范围上可以与之相比-专门针对培养新的化学工程教师。没有其他工程学科有一个类似的论坛提供一致的基础上。通过在教师职业生涯的开始阶段就瞄准他们，教授可以成为更有效的教育者？更有能力培养更合格的本科生和研究生化学工程专业人才。在暑期学校，新教师学习如何有效地将该领域的最新发展无缝整合到化学工程课程中。暑期学校还通过为新教师提供广泛的资源和网络机会来帮助他们的职业发展。历史上，每次提供暑期学校时，约有200名新的化学工程教育工作者参加。因此，暑期学校具有巨大的广泛影响，因为新教师在教育下一代化学工程师方面变得更加有效。而且，暑期学校有一个行之有效的跟踪记录，从以前的与会者证实其价值的推荐。新的化学工程教师的教学能力得到显着提高，这些教师纳入他们的家乡机构教授的课程的新课题的气息和及时性得到增强。参加暑期学校的新教师的教学能力的学生评价显着增加。2012年暑期学校将利用以往暑期学校的许多成功方面，并包括几个新的方面。创新包括增加国际教师参与（教师演讲者和早期职业教师），行业和学术代表在研讨会演讲中的合作，以及工业问答小组会议。2012年暑期学校还将强调研究/教学与外部组成团体，包括行业，K-12和其他利益相关者的参与之间的联系。这种联系将通过NSF会议，为期一天的教学研究所，并通过职业发展，K-12工程教育，并结合研究和教育奖学金研讨会来强调。最后，一个额外的评估工具将被引入，收集教师参与者大约一年后，他们在暑期学校出席输入。这一工具将有助于确认暑期学校对参与者的长期影响，并为未来更多地改进学校提供有用的反馈。
