You are invited to apply or nominate faculty for this program:

 

The IUCEE-IGIP* International Engineering Educator Certification Program will be piloted in January 9^th , 2015 immediately following ICTIEE 2015. in Bangalore. The Pilot Program is being sponsored by Microsoft, India. The Pilot Program will be delivered by faculty from different universities in the USA and will be coordinated by Dr. Veena Kumar (Professor, University of Maryland University College), ex, Head, Education Technology, IIT Delhi.

 

Participants of the Pilot Program:

Participation in the Pilot Program will be limited to 30 participants. Two sub-groups of 15 participants each will be created for faculty with 1-3 years of teaching experience, and 4-7 years of teaching experience. The chosen participants will   need to be teaching at least one course during the spring semester while attending the program because they will be required to implement the practices and strategies learned in class. In addition, they will need to commit 8-10 hours of study time per week for the program

Phase I - The program will start with a residential 4 day face-to-face Orientation Workshop (3 credits).

Phase II – This phase will include a 18 week long online program comprising eight stand alone modules. It is expected that the trainees will attend this phase while teaching their class.  The program will have practical strategies/activities which the trainees will implement in their respective classes and record outcomes. (14 credits)

Phase III- will be a 4 day residential Valedictory Workshop (3 credits)
