  1. Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions A LACCEI-IGIP Partnership: Developing Internationally Recognized Engineering Faculty Excellence for the Americas Dr. Ivan E.

  2. Agenda • Introduction • Curriculum Model Foundation • LACCEI Curriculum • Delivery Method • Conclusions

  3. Introduction • There is as need to ensure that engineering instructors have: • In-depth knowledge on specific knowledge content • Knowledge and skills required to transfer discipline knowledge in a teaching environment • Europe has led the effort in engineering pedagogy • Engineering instructors are required to take teaching training courses to be able to have a permanent position as instructors

  4. Introduction • The International Society for Engineering Education (IGIP) based on Austria accredits training centers that prepare international engineering educators • accredited centers, most of them are located in Europe and Russia and only one center in the Americas in Brazil. • The Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI) and IGIP have joint efforts to develop a program for faculty development to promote engineering teaching excellence in the Americas.

  5. Curriculum Model Foundations • The engineering pedagogy curriculum developed by LACCEI is based on three models: • IGIP Curriculum model • Technology, Pedagogy, Content Knowledge (TPCK) Model • LACCEI model • Goal: Instructor completing the LACCEI engineering pedagogy curriculum will receive the Ing.Paed.IGIP certificate.

  6. IGIP Curriculum Modules Core modules (8 credit points) • Theoretical and practical engineering pedagogy • Laboratory methodology Theory modules (4 credit points) • Psychology • Sociology • Ethics • Intercultural competences Practice modules (8 credit points) • Oral communication skills • Scientific writing • Working with projects • Media • E-learning and computer aided technologies • Additional topics

  7. PCK and TPCK Models Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) Relationship between the three areas Good instructors should be able to distinguish between subject knowledge and pedagogical knowledge Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) Pedagogical techniques used to teach concepts Content Pedagogy Technology Technological Content Knowledge (TCK) Technology used to explain subject concepts Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK) Technology support pedagogical goals

  8. LACCEI Model Areas Objectives Teaching/LearningProcess • To know the different types of learning styles and the process to acquire knowledge and skills • To improve teaching skills Innovative Teaching Techniques • To discover new and alternative teaching techniques • To use new technologies in the learning process • To use laboratory didactics effectively to teach theoretical concepts and to explain practical applications Broadening Engineering Education • To promote professional skills in the courses and in the classroom • To build global competencies effectively

  9. LACCEI Model Areas Objectives Motivation and Interest • To discover effective techniques to enhance students’ interest in engineering subjects • To foster motivation and interest in the students to learn and grow professionally Assessment • To develop effective assessment tools • To use different assessment techniques in the courses

  10. LACCEI Curriculum LACCEI curriculum model mapping knowledge domains and LACCEI dimensions

  11. LACCEI Curriculum and Credit Points LACCEI curriculum for Ing.Paed.IGIP certification According to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS): 1 CP = 25 to 30 hours including in classroom lectures and activities and out of classroom assignments.

  12. Delivery Methods Mapping of Topics and Delivery Methods

  13. Conclusions • The proposed curriculum and training program differs from existing centers for teaching enhancement in: • Scope of the content • Target audience • Intensity of the program • Final certificate • Faculty development and leadership are the hallmark of excellence in engineering education.

  14. Conclusions • The curriculum described here as a result of the partnership between LACCEI and IGIP will facilitate the adequate training to engineering faculty in the Americas: • to become excellent educators and • to be certified by a globally recognized certification system such as Ing.Paed.IGIP.
