ExCEEd Student/Educator/Practitioner
Teaching & Learning Seminar
This seminar, sponsored by Project ExCEEd, introduces participants to the fundamentals
of effective teaching and provides a suite of practical tools to improve teaching
effectiveness. The program covers principles of effective teaching, student learning
styles, writing and using lesson objectives, organizing classroom instruction,
and interacting with students. The seminar also includes a demonstration class
in which various techniques presented in the seminar are modeled in the context
of an actual engineering class, with participants role-playing as undergraduate
students. Seminar instructors draw on extensive experience in teacher training
that includes service as program coordinators for week-long ASCE ExCEEd Teaching
Workshops that have been offered annually at the US Military Academy and University
of Arkansas
since 1999. Who Should Attend?
- Faculty who have never received formal instruction in teaching and learning, and faculty seeking to improve their teaching
- Adjunct faculty and practitioners seeking more information about teaching and learning
- Graduate students planning to enter teaching careers

8:00 AM - 3:00 PMASCE EDUCATION SESSIONS
ABET Civil Engineering Evaluator Training Workshop (CE Program Evaluator Training)
Civil engineers will learn to help assure quality in educational institutions
by assessing whether civil engineering programs meet defined criteria. Program
evaluators will learn current criteria, pre-and post-visit responsibilities,
campus visit procedures, accreditation actions, and all other information to
become familiar with the ABET accreditation
process. Sponsored by ASCE's Committee on Curricula and Accreditation (CC & A).

ASCE EDUCATION SESSIONS
ABET Civil Engineering Technology Evaluator Training Workshop (TC2K CE Technology
Program Evaluator Training)
Current and prospective civil engineering technology evaluators are encouraged
to attend this training session. New civil engineering technology criteria have
made retraining a necessity for established evaluators. Growing numbers of programs
have increased the demand for trained program evaluators. Procedures and criteria
for accrediting both two-year and baccalaureate-level engineering technology
programs in the areas of civil, architectural, and construction engineering will
be the focus of this session. Sponsored by ASCE's Committee on Technology Curricula & Accreditation (CTC & A).
