What is the Faculty Development Division?

Faculty development—the continuing education of educators—plays a key role in fostering strong communities of engineering educators and translating engineering education research into practice. The purpose of the Faculty Development Division is to advance the practice and scholarship of faculty development, and to advance the various professions that formally or informally support engineering educators’ growth.

What we do:

Aid in the research-to-practice cycle through faculty development

 

Share knowledge about faculty development programs and professions

 

Further discussion in the faculty development community

 

Ideate & collaborate to meet community challenges, interests, & goals

Perfect for you if you are:

 

A faculty developer looking to further your own development

 

Someone interested in academic change in research or practice

 

An administrator who wants to cultivate successful faculty

 

An educational researcher interested in faculty-related issues

The Faculty Development Division is part of PIC IV. For our current bylaws (2017 August), see here.
