Engineering Education Research: The Growth of a Discipline
Tuesday, April 21, 2015 | Campus Center Theater | 4:30 - 7 p.m.
Register» | Organizers: Pratibha Varma-Nelson and Angela Briel | Presenter: Leah Jamieson
Engineering education research is emerging as an identifiable discipline, with engineering education departments, programs, and centers of excellence and a growing community of engineering education researchers around the globe. It is bringing together decades, and even centuries, of experience in teaching engineering with more recent learning from education and social-behavioral sciences research to delve into critical questions such as:
• Who studies engineering and why?
• What are engineering ways of thinking, knowing, and doing?
• How do students of all ages learn engineering?
• How do we assess engineering education practice and learning?
• How do engineering education systems evolve?
• How do we connect engineering education research with engineering education practice?
A reception will be held outside the theater from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. The lecture will start immediately after.
This talk will explore the engineering education research agenda that grew out of the National Engineering Education Research Colloquies sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation in 2006. The talk will also look at the university and the professional infrastructure that go into the creation, growth, and recognition of a new field, and will summarize the opportunities and challenges for engineering education from a survey of engineering faculty committees, department chairs, and deans in the United States.
About the speaker:
Leah Jamieson is the John A. Edwardson Dean of Engineering at Purdue University, Ransburg Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and holds a courtesy appointment in Purdue’s School of Engineering Education. She served as the 2007 President and CEO of the IEEE, electrical and computer engineering’s 400,000-member global professional society. She is co-founder and past director of the EPICS – Engineering Projects in Community Service Program.
This event is sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI.

Quality Matters - Applying the QM Rubric
Friday, May 8, 2015 | Campus Center 308 | 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Register» | Organizer and Presenter: Lauren Easterling
Indiana University has subscribed to Quality Matters (QM) as a tool and process for the design, development, and ongoing review of online courses, especially those that are part of the IU Online initiative. The Applying the QM Workshop is QM's official workshop on the QM Rubric and the process of using the QM Rubric to review online courses. It is intended for a broad audience, including but not limited to faculty, instructional designers, administrators, and adjunct instructors who wish to understand more about the QM Rubric and process of course review.
This workshop will introduce faculty and staff to the QM Rubric and Process, sharing best practices for online course design. The QM Rubric is a research-based set of standards that can be used during the course design process. The QM Process is a peer review process that eventually will review many IU Online courses, with the goal of achieving QM Recognition for mature online courses in the near future. Also, the APPQMR is the pre-requisite for the Peer Reviewer Course, which is the required course to become a QM Peer Reviewer.
This workshop will be offered at IUPUI face-to-face from 9am until 4:30pm, with occasional breaks. Participants will have one hour for lunch, and are free to bring their own lunch or take advantage of the many options available on campus. To receive the QM certificate of completion for this workshop, participants must be present for and participate in the entire workshop.

It’s no secret that our digital natives are transforming academic culture via their relationship with technology. Instructors have a wide variety of options to use this trend to benefit their teaching. Transformation can come in small increments, but requires rethinking how we teach and how we meet our students where they are: online. This workshop will investigate student opinions and experiences with technology and will provide instructors a bounty of ideas to utilize in their next class. Discover how to build learning opportunities and improve learning outcomes by understanding how students use technology to learn and engage with their faculty. This workshop is eligible for Gateway Teaching Academy credit.
