The workshop is also intended to provide new faculty with tips on getting their careers off to a good start and experienced faculty with instructional materials and methods that they can use in faculty development and new faculty mentoring programs on their own campuses. Experienced faculty who are nominated should therefore be among the better teachers on their campuses, as opposed to teachers having problems and seeking assistance. In a major survey of NETI alumni, a significant number of past participants reported that the workshop had a positive effect on both their students' learning and their student evaluations. 14 Aug 2011 21:28 276 http://www.asee.org/conferences-and-events/international/global-colloquium/2011 Shanghai, China We are pleased to inform you that the ASEE Global Symposium for Engineering Education in the Global Economy will be held in partnership with Shanghai Jiao Tong University in Shanghai, China during October 24- 25, 2011.
