interdisciplinary community of scholars- practioners based out of the UI
college of Engineering who collaborate and support collective endeavors to
improve teaching and learning practices as well as advancing the knowledge
of how people learn.
Values

Personal growth on the path of
attaining technical excellence in facilitating and researching learning
-
Valuing and supporting the
growth of students as they move along the path towards technical
excellence in their discipline
-
Bring the joy of engineering
into the university classrooms and other contexts
-
Challenging each other and
sharing successes, failures and discoveries
Goals
-
Community of more than 30 faculty and
students from at least eight different academic disciplines and three
institutions of higher learning collaborating in course development,
classroom assessment, and educational research.
-
Organize and implement a two-year faculty
development program that has a set of faculty development events that
produce more than 300 faculty development days involving over 70
different faculty/students.
-
Facilitate the recruitment, teaming, and
writing of at least 6 education-related grant submittals by multiple
investigators.
-
Obtain at least two grants to support the
efforts started by this grant.

Create a legacy for the project by the
systemic implementation of at least five processes, systems, or products
that continue to help individuals to evolve teaching/learning/research
practice after this grant terminates.
