National Effective Teaching Institute (NETI-1A)

June 20 - 22, 2013

Omni Hotel at CNN Center
Birch Room
100 CNN Center
Atlanta, GA 30303

Description: NETI-1A has several goals. Most obviously, it is intended to give the participants information and some hands-on practice in the elements of effective teaching--course planning, lecturing, active learning, assessment of learning, and dealing with a variety of problems that commonly arise in the life of a faculty member. The workshop is also intended to provide new faculty with tips on getting their careers off to a good start and experienced faculty with instructional materials and methods that they can use in faculty development and new faculty mentoring programs on their own campuses.

Engineering deans have been invited to nominate up to two faculty members from their campuses. Nominations are accepted on a first-come first-served basis up to a maximum of 50. The deans are expected to pay their nominees' expenses, which include travel, subsistence, and the $1,150 NETI registration fee.

July 13 - 16, 2014

Le Westin Montreal
St. Antonie Room
270 St. Antoine Ouest
Montreal, Quebec H2Y 0A3 · Canada

Description: NETI-2 is designed to add to the pedagogical expertise of engineering instructors who are knowledgeable about the subjects covered in NETI-1 (course planning, lecturing and active learning, and assessment of learning, among other topics). Two instructional approaches will provide the foundation for the workshop content: cooperative learning and inductive teaching and learning (inquiry-based and problem-based learning). Topics covered for each technique will include definitions, learning benefits and the research base that demonstrates them, implementation suggestions, problems that may arise in implementation and how to avoid them, and how the methods can be used to address ABET Outcomes 3a–3k and promote’ development of conceptual understanding and high-level thinking and problem-solving skills. Participants will be given opportunities throughout the workshop to plan applications of methods taught in the workshop to courses they teach.

Applications will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis, and will be closed at 50 enrollees.

Announcements and application forms will be available in February 2014.
