ACM Pedagogic Resources
The Faculty Career Enhancement Program (FaCE) awards funding to ACM faculty that enable them to engage in collaborative projects that explore ways to strengthen liberal arts education in a variety of ways. Project collaborators are then able to desseminate and share their results widely with colleagues across the ACM and beyond. (adpated from https://acm.edu/faculty/research-innovation/face-faculty-career-enhancement-program/)The SERC evalutaion team is conducting a retrospective evaluation using a mixed-methods approach involving participant interviews, surveys, and artifact analysis to understand the FaCE program's influence and impact.
