To: Ph.D. students (in any engineering discipline) who are interested in a faculty career

In the fall of 2018, the School of Engineering Education will offer three of the four courses designed for Ph.D. students in any engineering discipline who are considering a faculty career. Brief descriptions of the three courses follow.  For additional information about a course, please contact the instructor.

Students may take any of the courses individually or earn a Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning Engineering by completing all four courses before graduation.  For more information about the certificate program, see

Sample syllabus:  https://engineering.purdue.edu/ENE/Academics/Graduate/course_syllabi/695%20Succeed-Engr-Prof

This course is designed for graduate students in all engineering disciplines.   Students will have an opportunity to learn and practice skills necessary to identify and apply for faculty positions, write proposals, manage projects, mentor students, select and manage a research group, and build effective professional networks.

Content, Assessment and Pedagogy: An Integrated Engineering Design Approach

ENE 50600 -001, CRN 16590, 3 credits
Classes: Mondays, 10:30 a.m. – 1:20 p.m. in ARMS 1028
Instructor: Ruth Streveler, rastreve@purdue.edu

Sample Syllabus:  https://engineering.purdue.edu/ENE/Academics/Graduate/course_syllabi/506-Cont-Assmt-Pedag

This course is designed to help students apply an engineering design approach to instruction. To meet this aim, the course uses an iterative project-based approach in a context that is chosen by the student for its relevance, interest and potential application. 

Mentored Teaching in Engineering

ENE 68700-001, CRN 17614, 1 credit

Classes: Tuesdays, 4:30 – 5:20 p.m., in ARMS 3109

Instructor: Michael C. Loui, mloui@purdue.edu

Sample Syllabus: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ENE/Academics/Graduate/course_syllabi/695%20Mentored-Teach-Engr

This course enables graduate students enrolled in any engineering program to deepen their understanding of college teaching and learning through a semester-long teaching experience with mentoring, feedback, and reflection. To enroll in this course, students must concurrently have a significant teaching responsibility for an engineering course (e.g., instructor of record, assigned teaching assistant).
