How to Engineer Engineering Education


A workshop held annually at Bucknell University that offers engineering and science faculty and graduate students a hands-on experience to enhance their teaching by:

  • Writing clear instructional objectives at appropriate cognitive levels
  • Using active, cooperative & problem-based learning
  • Teaching teamwork and problem solving skills
  • Assessing learning outcomes
Previous Workshop Attendees Had these Responses
"Wonderful... Marvelous.  This workshop was well worth my time.  Several very practical examples and helpful practices were given to me in this week.  The coaches practiced what they preached and did an excellent job in illustrating the principles."
"I have been to several workshops (5 or 6), this was the best I have been to.  It was beyond my expectations."
Intended Audience
Engineering and science faculty and prospective faculty (including graduate students) who are interested in designing their courses around important learning outcomes, making their classrooms more active, and incorporating problem solving and teamwork skills into their courses.
