GW Plans a Workshop for STEM Faculty Who Teach Engineering through Computing

The George Washington University is planning a workshop for STEM faculty who want to transform their teaching through integrating computing. This Faculty Development Workshop 2020 was scheduled to be held over three days on 25–27 March. However, due to the Coronavirus national emergency and travel restrictions has been postponed, the organizers told IBL News. The event will be sponsored; it means that GW will be able to offer full travel support –including lodging and food– for 20 to 25 participants. The sponsor is Leidos, Inc., with additional support from the National Science Foundation through a grant to Prof. Lorena A. Barba. This workshop is for faculty at any stage of their career, who are teaching in science, engineering, or related technical fields, explained GW’s Prof. Lorena A. Barba, who leads the workshop. We use the label Engineers Code in a project that is developing open learning modules, and the #EngineersCode hashtag on Twitter for announcing newly-released content, and inviting a community, she added.
