Rigorous Research
in Engineering
Technology Education Workshop
| Join
a community of engineering technology faculty working
together to apply rigorous research in engineering
technology education, build powerful partnerships,
connect with colleagues, and share ideas. |
How
You Benefit
The Workshop
| Connects
participants with experts in faculty development
and the learning sciences, as well as in content
areas. |
| |
| Provides
the opportunity to participate in a professional
development activity that allows faculty to practice
research methods under the direction of a research
mentor. |
| |
| Fosters
the formation of "communities of practice"
with the goal of expanding the boundaries of engineering
technology education research. |
| |
|
Commitment
