Join colleagues from across the nation for a celebration of learning excellence. Share teaching and learning innovations, gains you have made in any area of learning, present new ideas, and more.<\/p>\n
April 7-8, 2017<\/strong> Universities and colleges are rich in human and intellectual capital. Yet, all too often, these resources stay bound in the academy and are not accessible to our communities. How do we create learning environments in which students, staff, faculty, and others collaborate to tackle complex societal challenges?<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Project-based learning is an effective strategy for engaging students in authentic learning experiences that can develop a wide range of transferable skills and abilities.\u00a0 Using Worcester Polytechnic Institute\u2019s curriculum as a case study, I will describe how project-based learning can be used in and out of the major and across all four years of an undergraduate curriculum.\u00a0\u00a0 We will explore examples of projects on campus, in the local community, and around the globe.\u00a0 I will present results from a study looking at the long-term impacts of project work on alumni, and will share some lessons learned from four decades of project-based education at WPI.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Dr. Vaz received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from WPI, and has been a member of the WPI Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty since 1984. He has also held systems and design engineering positions with Raytheon, GenRad, and the MITRE Corporation.<\/p>\n The Brown Center for Faculty Innovation and Excellence<\/a>\u00a0invites proposals to the Colloquium that offer or address\u00a0innovative approaches to tackling complex challeng<\/span>es. Presentations will take place on April 7, 2017. The \u00a0Brown Center for Faculty Innovation and Excellence<\/a> is thrilled to host\u00a0a two-day project-based learning track as part of the Colloquium on Teaching and Learning Innovation. The institute will be delivered\u00a0by Dr. Rick Vaz and colleagues from the Center for Project-Based Learning<\/a>\u00a0at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).\u00a0Widely recognized as a high-impact educational practice, project-based learning (PBL) is increasingly being used to enhance student learning and skill development.\u00a0 Participants will explore ways to use PBL engage students with real-world, complex challenges.<\/span> All participants must register. Stetson University’s DeLand campus is located approximately half-way between Daytona Beach and Orlando, just off of I-4\u00a0in the Sunshine State of Florida.
