Two Engineering Professors Selected for Frontiers of Engineering Education Symposium
Norman Dennis and Christa Hestekin
Norman Dennis, University Professor of civil engineering and interim associate dean of the College of Engineering, and Christa Hestekin, assistant professor of chemical engineering, have been selected to attend the National Academy of Engineering's fourth Frontiers of Engineering Education symposium. The symposium will be held in Irvine, Calif., in October.
Seventy-two engineering educators from across the nation have been invited to the symposium, where they will share ideas and learn about research and best practices in engineering education. The focus of this year’s forum will be innovations in the context, curriculum, and delivery of engineering education.
"The Frontiers of Engineering Education program creates a unique venue for engineering faculty members to share and explore interesting and effective innovations in teaching and learning,” said NAE President Charles M. Vest. “We want FOEE to become a major force in identifying, recognizing, and promulgating advances and innovations in order to build a strong intellectual infrastructure and commitment to 21st-century engineering education.”
