Society of Women Engineers Invites You
to Work on Your Engineering Teaching Portfolio
Thinking about, looking for or about to
start searching for an Academic Position? Do you have your TEACHING PORTFOLIO
ready yet?
If you are a graduate student or post-doc about to start or already on the
search for an Academic Position, this workshop series is for you! Email Raluca
Rosca (rarosca@ufl.edu)
by October 15th to reserve your seat.
The SWE is sponsoring an 8-session workshop series that will provide you with
more KEYS TO SUCCESS in your academic job hunt. At the end of the 8 weeks (about
1.5 hrs per session), you will have:
- The ability to articulate your teaching
experience
- A complete TEACHING PORTFOLIO to present
during your interviews, including:
- your own Teaching Philosophy statement
- 2-3 annotated artifacts (Syllabi,
Tests and Homework that you have prepared or used)
- a diversity statement
- The opportunity to interact with
colleagues interested in a faculty career
This is not a seminar
series or an information session, but an engineering-focused, peer-conducted
TEAM ACTIVITY. We will use the materials developed by the NSF - Center for the
Advancement of Engineering Education and already tried at the University of
Washington (http://www.engr.washington.edu/caee/ETPP_site/)
YOU will work on your own teaching philosophy statements (and offer constructive
criticism for everybody's else), find teaching artifacts to support your
statements (and offer suggestions/criticisms for how somebody's else given
artifact does support an idea in their teaching statement), and basically get on
thinking about why do you want to go in academe and what would it take to be
successful 'out there'. On short, you will be BETTER PREPARED FOR YOUR ACADEMIC
JOB SEARCH.
Fall sessions begin Monday October 18th.
Email Raluca Rosca (rarosca@ufl.edu)
by October 15th to participate.
