EIFs and EMFs 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.
The Entrepreneurial Mindset Fellows have a strong advocating role: They promote EM integration in curricula and KEEN engagement by faculty with their departmental colleagues and others across the College. They also have a networking role: They are committed to regular participation in KEEN partnership activities and making purposeful connections with external partners to support EM teaching and research opportunities on our campus.
