THIS THURSDAY! Adapting AI in Engineering Courses Workshop... Join Dr. Nikitha Sambamurthy, Editorial Director at Wiley and engineering education researcher, for a peer workshop on building adaptive AI policies. Many institutions default to blanket AI policies—ban it or allow it—that treat all courses and all students the same. This workshop offers a practical, research-backed alternative. In this workshop, we'll explore: ✅ How to design AI policies that adapt throughout a course and student progression, from novice to expert ✅ Real examples from first-year problem-solving, circuits, and senior design courses ✅ Assignment-level strategies you can implement this semester 📅 Thursday, November 20 at 2pm ET (11am PT) Click here: https://ow.ly/zmUO50XtuK6 (Dr. Sambamurthy was recently invited by the National Academy of Engineering to speak on the impact of AI in engineering education.)

Did you know data scientists spend 50-80% of their time on data wrangling? Yet many of us jump straight into teaching pandas or dplyr without building the conceptual foundation students need to truly understand why these tools matter. Join us for an interactive webinar where we'll discuss why the traditional "jump straight to programming" approach may be holding students back—and what you can do about it. 📅 November 19 | 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT In this webinar, we'll explore a "concepts first, programming second" approach that: ✅ Helps students master core data wrangling actions (select, filter, arrange, mutate, summarize) ✅ Builds adaptable skills that transfer across languages and platforms ✅ Strengthens data communication alongside technical abilities ✅ Reduces student struggles throughout the entire data science lifecycle Click here: https://lnkd.in/d2B8eMyt

Your students calculate probabilities perfectly but think correlation proves causation. Sound familiar? Join veteran engineering statistics instructors who'll share research-backed strategies for teaching probability and statistics. Share your challenges and learn practical solutions. In this online, interactive session, we'll cover: ✅ Common misconceptions (like equal probability bias and sample size) and proven strategies to fix them ✅ Hands-on activities that build intuitive understanding ✅ Curated problem sets mapped to misconceptions 📅 Tuesday, November 4th at 1pm ET (10am PT) Click here: https://lnkd.in/dVkxPmbn

Your students ace the calculations but can't explain why steel and aluminum behave differently. Sound familiar? Join veteran engineering instructors who'll share research-backed strategies for teaching materials science that actually stick. In this online, interactive session, we'll cover: ✅ The top misconceptions, such as crystallography, phase diagrams, and mechanical properties, and how to address them ✅ Specific techniques for helping students connect atomic behavior to macroscopic properties ✅ Collaborative learning that builds intuition beyond calculation skills 📅 Wednesday, October 29th at 2pm ET (11am PT) Click here: https://lnkd.in/djeiscsk

Your students pass Security+ but freeze when facing a real breach. Sound familiar? Employers want IT graduates who can think critically and troubleshoot real problems—not just recall exam answers. Join veteran IT instructors at zyBooks who'll share classroom-tested strategies for bridging that gap. In this online, interactive session, we'll cover: ✅ How instructors choose real-world incidents like WannaCry and Equifax for maximum impact ✅ Scenario-based approaches that transform cert prep into problem-solving practice ✅ Strategies for teaching students to stay current with emerging threats 📅 Thursday, October 30th at 2pm ET (11am PT) Click here: https://lnkd.in/dWaca3ae
