Institute for Scholarship on Engineering Education: Example Schedule

The Summer Summit Schedule shows the basic structure of the initial week-long meeting that brought together the complete group of Scholars as part of launching each Institute.

The schedule accommodates time for lectures, discussion of materials, group and individual work, presentation and discussion of individual research plans, and periods of social activity. Evaluation activities on each day were an important part of the goal of continuous feedback and improvement for each of the three Institutes held as part of CAEE.
