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.

Desktop ∆V Emerging Space Technology Workshop

February 17, 2011 -- 8:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. -- Barus and Holley Rm 190
'Meet and Greet' February 16th -- 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. -- B&H Lobby
Hosted by the Brown University School of Engineering
Sponsorship from the NASA Space Grant Consortia of Rhode Island.

School of Engineering Organizers:
Rick Fleeter -- Rick_Fleeter@brown.edu
Ken Ramsley -- Kenneth_Ramsley@brown.edu

Complete workshop details ... http://www.engin.brown.edu/ddv/

Desktop Delta-V is a one-day workshop focusing on the topic of safe and sustainable space propulsion systems that can be assembled and tested in a university or similar engineering laboratory setting.

The event continues our series of emerging space technology workshops (ChipSat Feb, 2010 and Nanosatellite Launch Vehicles Nov, 2008). This year, the meeting will also co-collaborate in real time with a mirror workshop at Strathclyde University, Glasgow, Scotland.

As with previous workshops, we anticipate spirited interchanges among those developing hardware technologies and those developing space mission applications.

Connection with ENGN1760
Each year the Space Technology Workshop Series overlaps a topic covered in ENGN1760 "Machine Design" -- a capstone course focused on space systems engineering and spacecraft mission applications. In addition to developing their own spacecraft design, "176" students participate in the space technology workshop on equal footing with invited professionals from institutions such as NASA JPL, DARPA, and other universities involved in space engineering.

Class enrollment is limited to 20 and we encourage those interested to consider ENGN1760 while openings remain. For details, please contact Rick Fleeter -- Rick_Fleeter@brown.edu

Free Guest Passes for Brown Students and Faculty
The workshop is a paid event (normally $195). For students and faculty of Brown University, a limited number of free guest pass badges will be made available.

To request a workshop pass, please contact Ken Ramsley at Kenneth_Ramsley@brown.edu.

Engineering / Physics Student Recruiting Opportunities
Workshop organizers recognize the potential for employment discussions, internship interviews, and other career growth opportunities resulting from informal aspects of the workshop setting. For Brown engineering and physics majors we will support this in several ways...
Prior to the workshop, an email list of interested students will be provided to all paid workshop participants and an email list of workshop participants interested in student-recruiting will be provided to all interested students.
Organizers will provide table space to paid workshop participants for literature and fliers related to student internships and career opportunities.
The School of Engineering will set aside meeting space for private interviews.
An invitation to the 'Meet and Greet' (5:00pm-7:00pm, Feb 16th).
Continental breakfast the morning of the workshop (starting at 7:30am, Feb 17th)
Lunch with paid participants in the Chancellor's Dining Room (noon -1:30pm,Feb 17th).
Contact Ken Ramsley at Kenneth_Ramsley@brown.edu and we will keep you informed of recruiting opportunities and include you in the process as much as you would like.

(Though no particular level of involvement is required, students involved in the recruiting segment of the workshop are encouraged to participate in workshop sessions as much as you are able.)
