EIFs have a connecting role in the College: They interact with AE3 staff, departmental colleagues, and others across the College involved in educational innovation to share and unify educational efforts. They also have an innovating role: They identify and pursue new pathways, helping to pave the way for educational change.
“Being an Education Innovation Fellow and working with AE3 has connected me to a network of faculty and staff members in the Grainger College of Engineering who are driven to improve education for students. Everyone involved is focused on practical outcomes for students.”
– Dallas Trinkle, Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
The Rose Education Innovation Fellow recognizes an EIF with exemplary contributions to AE3. The EIF for this named position is designated by the Director of AE3 in consultation with the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs.
