Faculty Development Workshops Supported by Engineering Professional Societies
NETI is a three-day workshop offered annually just before the ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition. "For each topic addressed in the workshop, practical suggestions are offered and the research attesting to their effectiveness is cited and discussed" (Felder & Brent, 2009).
ExCEEd is a six-day workshop that covers the principles of effective teaching and learning, learning styles, communication skills, learning objectives, class organization and course organization, development of interpersonal rapport with students, teaching with technology, and classroom assessment techniques.
