Engineering Education Leadership Institute (EELI)

美国国家科学院支持工程教育领导研究所（EELI）的规划和试点，作为催化工程学术界领导力的机制，其知识，技能和能力需要创造环境，成功地为工程专业学生在21世纪的实践技术和社会挑战做好准备。 EELI将在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，B）Project Kaleidoscope和其他经过验证的高质量教师发展和领导力培训提供商，以及c）前瞻性工程学院院长合作，为学术机构当前和未来的工程领导力举办一系列研讨会。 这些课程将提供响应最高优先级的需求，以获得参与学术和行政活动的系统和全面重新调整所需的领导知识和技能，以培养工程毕业生，他们为应对2020年及以后的挑战做好了充分的准备。 除了知识和技能发展之外，还将提供持续的基础设施，以在领导人及其机构的重新调整过程中维持他们。 将于2005年夏季试办一个全面的讲习班，由一些具有代表性的关键机构参加，讨论范围有限的专题。我们的成果目标是在与会者中进行深入学习，激发工程界对我们愿景的更高认识，催化智力参与，并展示概念验证，这将有助于从2006年夏季开始持续提供工程教育领导学院的全部课程。 智力优势：这项工作将NAE与行业，工程教育和专业发展的领导者聚集在一起，为当前和未来的工程学术领导者传授所需的技能。 要传授的技能提供了改善工程学院业务管理的潜力在所指出的领域实现工程领导的知识和技能的改进，不仅有可能提高当前工程项目的质量，而且通过改进教育和管理实践，以增加学生的招聘和保留，以及提高教师的满意度和生产力。

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.
