Georgia Tech's Joe Ledoux and Wendy Newstetter to present a workshop and talk on their RED National Science Foundation initiative
October 30, 2018 - FACETS
On January 16th, 2019 Joe Ledoux, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and Wendy Newstetter, Director of Learning Sciences Research from Georgia Tech, will present a workshop and talk on their Revolutionizing Engineering and Computer Science Departments Engineering Education and Centers NSF initiative (Award # 1730262). The talks will discuss the inclusive strategies embodied by the curriculum of the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech and Emory University which helps stakeholder fully realize the positive impact provided by high-functioning diverse and inclusive teams. The speakers will discuss “The inclusion dividend” and how it can be used to change the culture and curriculum of a high research activity engineering department, and help transform the concept of the "ideal engineer." According to the authors: “To achieve this vision the department will 1) establish diverse pedagogical incubator teams of students, faculty, industry engineers, and learning scientists to develop novel inclusive classroom practices, 2) iteratively hatch, implement and evaluate classroom activities and strategies that help students and faculty recognize the inclusion dividend and translate that recognition into inclusive interactive strategies, and 3) transform the departmental culture such that the inclusion dividend is embraced and enacted through interactions and practices evidenced one-on-one, in teams, in the classroom, and in department policies and procedures.”
