This award provides funding for a faculty development workshop to be held in conjunction with the Venture Well Open Conference, which promotes and supports innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering education. Participants will learn to develop and use physical simulations and moving analogies to help students learn innovation and entrepreneurship skills and concepts in the classroom. Since the Venture Well Conference attracts a wide group of faculty and students from varied institutional types, the workshop will have strong potential to affect engineering education practice broadly.The workshop offers two tracks for the 40 to 60 participants anticipated, one track for those who are new to the pedagogy and one track for those who are experienced with it. This project has the potential to broaden and improve student learning of innovation and entrepreneurship concepts as well as to engage faculty who teach these concepts so they can explore and implement effective teaching practices. The activities following the workshop aim to build a community of practice through a series of virtual sessions and to provide a mechanism to sustain and expand the network of participants engaged in the development and implementation of evidence-based educational practices in the context of engineering innovation and entrepreneurship.

该奖项为教师发展研讨会提供资金，该研讨会将与Venture Well Open Conference一起举行，该会议旨在促进和支持工程教育中的创新和创业精神。参与者将学习开发和使用物理模拟和移动类比，以帮助学生在课堂上学习创新和创业技能和概念。由于Venture Well会议吸引了来自不同机构类型的广泛的教师和学生群体，研讨会将具有广泛影响工程教育实践的强大潜力。研讨会为预期的40至60名参与者提供两个轨道，一个轨道为那些谁是新的教学法和一个轨道为那些谁是有经验的。这个项目有潜力扩大和提高学生学习创新和创业的概念，以及从事教师谁教这些概念，使他们能够探索和实施有效的教学实践。 讲习班之后的活动旨在通过一系列虚拟会议建立一个实践社区，并提供一个机制，以维持和扩大在工程创新和创业背景下参与制定和实施循证教育做法的参与者网络。
