Undergraduate Teaching and Learning in Engineering: AEW Facilitation

Catalog description

This course provides selected undergraduate students with hands-on teaching experience by involving them in planning and leading Academic Excellence Workshop (AEW) courses. AEW facilitators work closely with a co-facilitator and communicate weekly with the associated course team to plan and deliver their sessions. Throughout the semester, facilitators receive thorough training on teaching math, chemistry, computer science, or engineering. They will read and discuss articles and videos, reflect on their own experiences, and engage in activities to improve their teaching and learning skills. The training covers topics such as building community, creating inclusion, how people learn, asking effective questions, structuring collaboration, and various student-centered teaching strategies. Trainings also include a focus on developing facilitators as leaders and professionals.
