Uriel Cuckierman, an expert in engineering and computer science education from the National Technological University of Argentina, will present a series of four workshops for faculty and instructors beginning Friday, Feb. 28. The workshops will focus on practical skills related to teaching engineering and computer science to newer generations of students, such as Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
CEAS faculty are encouraged to attend as many workshops as they can to take advantage of training and insights that support the college’s retention efforts.
The last three workshops are two-hour sessions that will be offered in the morning and again in the afternoon on each day. All are held in Conference room 715:
- Friday, Feb. 28, from 1:30-4:30 p.m.
- Monday, March 3
- Tuesday, March 4
- Wednesday, March 5
The sessions below have been added to faculty calendars with the time and location. Please click RSVP on your Outlook calendar invite. Look for entries titled “Introductory Workshop: Innovative Approaches to Education in Engineering & Computer Science.”
If you have not received a calendar invite, please contact Associate Dean Prasenjit Guptasarma at pg@uwm.edu.
Attendees will receive a small grant for supplies or travel.
- $500: Attend and complete all four workshops, Feb. 28-March 5
- $300: Attend and complete any two workshops, Feb. 28-March 5.
Attendance can also be used to count toward professional training as part of our annual reviews.
Cuckierman has consulted on engineering education for decades. He recently won the IFEES – International Federation of Engineering Education Societies 2023 Duncan Fraser Award for Excellence in Engineering Education.
Additional workshops are slated for June 2025.
