Strategies for Building Faculty Community
Reliance on most enthusiastic and technically advanced instructors who are already using computing and modeling in classes
The Faculty Fellows program:
- Stakeholders:
- College Deans - Specific support
- Faculty - Compensation, and acknowledgement, of the value of the faculty members contribution
- Benefits
- College
- Department (Faculty Fellows as discipline-specific spokespersons for EC/CSE)
- Faculty (as individuals)
- Ed Center on Computational Science and Engineering
- Building a special infrastructure for curriculum transformation: human, institutional, technical – is a requirement for successful introduction of advanced techniques (since they are more demanding on faculty time and efforts)
The problems and strategies are not that much different from STEP!!
