_________________________________________________________________________

EE400D provides an overview of practices for delivering high quality instruction and developing an effective teaching climate, whether in formal (class-based) or more informal learning environments through engineering. Although content knowledge is an essential ingredient to good teaching, it does not alone ensure a good teaching experience, nor does the same teaching strategy work for everyone. EE400D will look at proven pedagogical practices including problem-based learning, cooperative learning, and other active learning practices that can support better quality of instruction in a variety of engineering learning environments. EE400D will also address how to build good working relationships with students in the context of a supportive teaching climate and modern-day educational practice and technologies. EE400D students will gain an understanding of best practices that fit the engineering learning environment at multiple levels of instruction. No specific prerequisite technical knowledge is required to take the class.
