Best Pedagogical Practices for EE, CE, CS and EETThe deadline for 2008 Abstract submissions has passed. Please contact us with any questions. IEEE is issuing a call for workshops in order to solicit high quality, online, self-study workshops on the best pedagogical techniques for the electrical engineering (EE), computer engineering (CE), computer science (CS), and electrical engineering technology (EET) classroom. These workshops are based on the latest results from the research on learning and on the techniques that have increased student learning in engineering, science, technology, and mathematics.
Some example workshop topics might include (but are not limited to) how to: - design course material around core concepts;
- employ real-world, contemporary applications (i.e. examining the course material from multiple contexts);
- address student diversity—learning styles, background/preparation level, entering skills, knowledge, attitudes and expectations;
- develop problem-solving skills through the use of hands-on projects and case studies;
- use collaborative learning techniques to help students work effectively on teams (one example: pair-programming);
- design effective assessment techniques (contrasted with ineffective methods); and,
- foster community and create a supportive learning environment focused on success.
This program will provide EE, CE, CS, and EET faculty with an invaluable library of contemporary teaching workshops for online, self-study use. Incorporating these best pedagogical practices into the curriculum will promote student learning and increase student retention.
Authors of completed workshops will receive an award which includes: - a monetary award of $5000 USD.
- an invitation to submit a manuscript describing the workshop to a special section of the IEEE Transactions on Education dedicated to RWEP projects and workshops.
- an invitation to present the workshop at an IEEE-sponsored workshop.
- a plaque and congratulatory letter.
Workshop Submission — A Three-Stage Process
Workshop submission is a three-stage process. First, the proposer submits a five to nine slide summary abstract. If accepted after review, the proposer is invited to submit a more detailed workshop proposal. If accepted after review, the proposer is invited to submit a full workshop for inclusion in the RWEP workshop library, which will be made available to the public through IEEE's University Education Portal.
Abstracts and workshops will be reviewed based on three criteria: relevance, quality and transferability.
Stage One: Abstract Submission
A five to nine slide summary abstract that describes the workshop must be submitted by April 15, 2008. Deadline Extended April 30, 2008. A proposer may be the lead author on at most one abstract. The slides must contain the following. - Workshop title and a figure that illustrates the topic.
- Introduction to the best pedagogical practice topic.
- Germane results from recent, peer-reviewed, published literature (provide one citation).
- List of three to five learning objectives for the EE, CE, CS, or EET faculty member who will use this workshop in a self-study fashion.
- Example of how the workshop material can be used to benefit instruction in an EE, CE, CS, or EET undergraduate class.
Since the intended audience is EE, CE, CS and EET faculty worldwide, the workshops should be designed for an international audience. An abstract is either rejected or invited for a workshop proposal submission; applicants will be notified via email of the review decision by May 31, 2008.
