This award provides funding for a faculty development workshop to be held in conjunction with the Venture Well Open Conference, which promotes and supports innovation and entrepreneurship in engineering education. Participants will learn to develop and use physical simulations and moving analogies to help students learn innovation and entrepreneurship skills and concepts in the classroom. Since the Venture Well Conference attracts a wide group of faculty and students from varied institutional types, the workshop will have strong potential to affect engineering education practice broadly.The workshop offers two tracks for the 40 to 60 participants anticipated, one track for those who are new to the pedagogy and one track for those who are experienced with it. This project has the potential to broaden and improve student learning of innovation and entrepreneurship concepts as well as to engage faculty who teach these concepts so they can explore and implement effective teaching practices. The activities following the workshop aim to build a community of practice through a series of virtual sessions and to provide a mechanism to sustain and expand the network of participants engaged in the development and implementation of evidence-based educational practices in the context of engineering innovation and entrepreneurship.

该奖项为教师发展研讨会提供了资金，该研讨会与开放式开放会议一起举行，该会议促进和支持工程教育方面的创新和企业家精神。参与者将学习开发和使用物理模拟和移动类比，以帮助学生在课堂上学习创新和创业技能和概念。由于风险井会议吸引了各种各样的机构类型的各种教职员工和学生，因此研讨会将在广泛影响工程教育实践方面具有很大的潜力。该研讨会为40至60名参与者提供了两条曲目，这是对那些新手的曲目，一首是对教学的新手，以及一段经验丰富的人。 该项目有可能扩大和改善学生对创新和企业家精神概念的学习，并参与教授这些概念的教师，以便他们可以探索和实施有效的教学实践。 研讨会之后的活动旨在通过一系列虚拟会议来建立实践社区，并提供一种机制，以维持和扩展参与参与的参与者网络，从而在工程创业和企业家精神的背景下开发和实施基于证据的教育实践。
