Registration fee is
$150, (this includes all meeting materials, reception and meals). All
U.S. participants must register electronically via the link to the left.
Initially the dollar amount appears as $0, as you continue with the resgistration
process, this will be changed to the actual fee. You will also be able
to select the specific site you wish to attend.
To equip attendees with both a development process and access to
resources needed to design and implement a successful project-based, introductory
engineering program, tailored to their institutions.
Keynote speakers from academia and industry will be linked via
video conferencing across all sites. Working in breakout teams at each
site, attendees will explore best practices for a range of issues involved
in the development of a first-year engineering program. “Attendees are
encouraged to bring posters to share ideas from their home institutions”.
• What is an effective process for developing a transformative and sustainable
course
or program that will meet the needs of stakeholders in your institution?
• What are the key issues to building a bridge for students between high
school and
an engineering major in college?
• How can you effectively use projects to create an “authentic” engineering
experience
in a first year course? What are the advantages of this approach? How
can we
assess work in such a course?
• What are some of the existing best practices in first-year engineering
courses and
how can we best facilitate sharing of this material?
• Instructors and administrators of four-year college engineering programs
for first-year
students
• Instructors and administrators of two-year college programs that feed
into bachelor’s
degree programs in engineering
• Developers and instructors of high school pre-engineering programs
• Representatives of government, industry, and funding organizations
who want to support and help to shape introductory engineering programs
and curriculum
