Professor Uriel Cuckierman, an expert in engineering and computer science education, presents a series of workshops for faculty and instructors this week. In the workshops, Cuckierman will offer practical skills related to teaching engineering and computer science to newer generations of students, such as Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
College of Engineering & Applied Science faculty: please consider attending as many workshops as you can to take advantage of training and insights that support the college’s retention efforts.
The sessions below have been added to faculty calendars with the time and location. Look for entries titled “Innovative Approaches to Education in Engineering & Computer Science.” These two-hour workshops are offered in the morning and again in the afternoon on each day.
