Clinical Faculty Development Program

With the significant increase in engineering student enrollment over the last ten years and the relatively flat number of tenure/tenure track faculty positions in engineering, a significant portion of the undergraduate teaching load has shifted to non-tenure track faculty.As a result of increased involvement of non-tenured faculty in teaching in the college, a developmental workshop was created for the clinical faculty within the college of engineering with a vision of making clinical faculty more engaging and organized instructors.The workshop was modeled after the very successful week long ASCE ExCEEd Teaching Workshop.Participants were not only exposed to various teaching pedagogies, but were actually required to incorporate the pedagogies into a practice class, presented to their peers and to master teachers.
