in the Southwest United States in the midst of an NSF-funded RevolutionizingEngineering Departments (RED) project that had been, in the four years prior, working to bettersupport diverse student success by collaboratively redesigning program curriculum andinstruction. This RED project aims to develop faculty’s capacity to identify and build on studentassets, create realistic design challenges in core courses, and integrate support for writing in thediscipline. The core strategies for this change initiative included implementing facultyprofessional development workshops, integrating a learning scientist and writing instructor intothe department, supporting faculty in conducting collaborative engineering education research,and developing a
theimplementation and development of ECP curriculum with focus on home-based experiment. Priorto the training, ECP kits were shipped to the team and facilitators fully utilized the virtual platformto collaborate with team members. Overall, there was a great satisfaction and confidence with theparticipants designing three home-based experiments using the M1K and M2K analog devices.Introduction and BackgroundVirtual training has been regarded as a tool for engaging a large participating audience withoutany limitation to physical space. An effective virtual training for educational development will notonly utilize engaging live, virtual interactive classroom but also include the use of several activelearning materials such as interactive breakout sessions

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Educating Engineering Educators to Nurture 21st Century Indian EngineersAbstractAn educational institution is defined by its faculty; student intake and infrastructure are largelydependent on the faculty. Any educational system, therefore, has to focus on educating thefaculty on an ongoing basis. While ample research has been reported on the requirements of the21st century engineers, its deployment is not satisfactory, especially in the Indian engineeringeducation system. This has to be addressed as India is endowed with impressive demographicdividend, as compared to many developed economies and is poised to become a major workforcesupplier in
third type of supportive strategies is a faculty learning community (FLC). FLCs are typicallyused to support faculty as they develop expertise in teaching. Unlike traditional seminars andworkshops, FLCs have a multipronged tactic of developing expertise, capacity for reflection, andsupportive community.16,17 This multipronged focus requires a significant time and energycommitment from members. In typical FLCs, faculty apply, rather than join informally, with aformal goal of refining a curriculum or a particular expertise. FLC leaders construct small,diverse cohorts with a mix of interests, needs, and expertise. Members are expected to attend off-site retreats, focus on community building within their cohort, develop portfolios, engage

Learned” paper is to investigate how former graduate studentleaders can employ their experiences to achieve and excel in service requirements as juniortenure-track faculty members. Research skills, and increasingly teaching ability, have been coreto the graduate student curriculum, and match the majority of faculty tenure requirements.However, preparation for the service requirement is often overlooked at both the graduatestudent and faculty level. While a small part of the overall tenure package, there is an unspokenpresumption that faculty members will be able to serve effectively and efficiently. In STEMcurricula, the development of interpersonal skills is often overlooked. While this may not be animpediment in research communications, faculty

sessions or professional development workshops for team leaders.While there are other departments at Harvey Mudd and other institutions that have clinicprograms, only the engineering clinic teams were surveyed. Because the program uses a non-explicit approach to leadership, evaluations must be performed by way of assessment tools, suchas surveys and interviews. See Appendix A for previous assessments of the clinic program. Thisstudy seeks to evaluate team leaders’ self-awareness in the engineering clinic program bycomparing their perception of their leadership styles to how they are perceived by their teammembers. In this way, the college may examine potential areas for improvement with respect tocreating more self-aware leaders.Introduction to
