Session 3630 Effectiveness of the Woodruff School Doctoral Teaching Intern Program Pamela M. Norris, Sheila C. Palmer University of Virginia/U.S. Naval Academy Abstract This article discusses a unique teaching internship program that has been in place in the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology since 1990. The objective of the program is to provide doctoral students who are considering an academic career
the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) and three years as a faculty member at Olin College of Engineering in Massachusetts. Alexandra’s research aims to amplify the voices and work of students, educators, and Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) overall and support continued educational innovation within engineering at these in- stitutions. Specifically, she focuses on (1) educational and professional development of graduate students and faculty, (2) critical transitions in education and career pathways, and (3) design as central to educa- tional and global change.Dr. Jay Phillip Jefferson, Florida International University I am currently a Postdoc within SUCCEED at Florida International University.

CIE courses are short-term, faculty-led, study-abroad courses withthe goal to combine technical engineering content with an international experience. The coursetechnical content is delivered through daily lectures within a three-week time period. Additionallectures or presentations cover cultural or global engineering topics. The internationalexperience is

thecomplexity of our current problems and the social and environmental injustice that mostpeople endure demand engineering to go beyond the technical problems, question theimpact of our engineering solutions, and incorporate other ways of doing and being inengineering. Engaging in engineering, and engineering education without awareness ofother beings and the Ecosystem, leads to immense harm, especially to underrepresentedpeople and their ecosystems. In this article, I present my first thoughts on an engineeringeducation framework that hopefully will guide educators and students through therelationships and interconnections between three levels: individual, people, and theEcosystem. To illustrate these interconnections, I use the biological concept of
