Developing Engineering Faculty as Leaders of Academic Change

工程-其他（59）该项目正在为大约25名工程教育领导人组织一次为期两天的全国讲习班，以确定领导学术变革进程所需的知识和技能，并设计一个交付系统，以有效地向工程系教授所确定的知识和技能。研讨会包括互动会议，以审查为学术工程领导力奠定背景的主要国际发展以及从研讨会组织者的前期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以及克服挑战所需的技能，提炼出所需的领导技能和参数的清单，以指导学习计划的发展，并探索设计的选择，交付和可持续性的一个新的计划，发展教师的能力，学术变革的领导。 在研讨会后的活动中，与会者正在校园内组织活动，让250名额外的教职员工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的正式研究生证书课程的框架，该课程体现了所需的知识，技能和在研讨会中确定的交付机制通过普渡大学的巴特勒卓越领导力中心提供。此外，他们正在确定愿意参与设想的工程学术变革管理研究生证书课程试点实施的工程学院（理想情况下是部门或学院）。 评价工作正在评估讲习班和校内后续活动的效果、所形成的想法的多样性和新奇以及参加者态度的变化。 该项目的成果正在通过在网站上张贴、在工程教育会议上介绍以及出版和分发讲习班记录等方式传播。 更广泛的影响包括传播材料，特别是通过讲习班后的活动，这些活动吸引了更多的受众。

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.
