DESCRIPTION:Register here for the Faculty of Engineering's Inaugural Active
  Learning Conference on Monday\, May 12\, 2014\, with a keynote presentati
 on by Professor Michael Prince entitled 'Active Learning for Busy Skeptics
 '.  About the presentation: Active learning is a buzz word in higher educa
 tion and it's easy to think of it as just another in a long line of educat
 ional fads. Even instructors who believe active learning is a good thing m
 ay see it as something that simply takes too much time and effort to imple
 ment in engineering courses. This session is designed to introduce quick a
 nd simple active learning techniques that are effective\, require little p
 reparation or class time\, and which generate little or no student resista
 nce. The audience is encouraged to share their ideas on the barriers hinde
 ring faster diffusion of these active learning techniques into engineering
  classrooms.  About the speaker: Dr. Prince is a Professor of Chemical Eng
 ineering and the Rooke Professor of Engineering at Bucknell University. He
  serves as co-Director of the National Effective Teaching Institute and “H
 ow to Engineer Engineering Education”\, both well-established offerings th
 at attract a national audience of engineering faculty each year. His curre
 nt research examines how to increase the use of research-based instruction
 al strategies by engineering faculty as well as focusing specifically on r
 epairing persistent student misconceptions in the thermal sciences. His ed
 ucational accomplishments have led to an invitation in 2012 to be the Cono
 coPhillips Lecturer in Chemical Engineering Education at Oklahoma State Un
 iversity as well as being named to the Robert L. Rooke Professorship in En
 gineering at Bucknell. He was honoured by the Institution of Chemical Engi
 neers with the Hutchison Medal in 2009\, Bucknell University’s Lindback Aw
 ard for Distinguished Teaching in 2008\, and in 2004 received the American
  Society of Engineering Education’s Mid-Atlantic Section Outstanding Teach
 ing Award.
