During the preparation of a Position Paper on First Year programs in Australia and New Zealand in December in 2008, it became evident that there is a considerable body of knowledge and experience available that we could share.
A Special Interest group was formed at the Yeppoon AAEE conference. If you wish to be included on this group please email Liz Godfrey at egodfrey@eng.uts.edu.au.
Of interest at the moment are:
- Position paper on First Year Programs, presented to Assoc Deans Teaching and Learning Forum in Dec 2008, prepared by Liz Godfrey. The report and the summary are available from the ALTC Exchange at: http://www.altcexchange.edu.au/australasian-association-engineering-education-aaee. You may need to register first, if you are not already a member of the Exchange.
- The forum on First Year programs which ran at the University of Melbourne from 3-4 August synchronously with a gathering at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana, USA, with live hookups for Keynote speakers. The Australian group was co-ordinated by Assoc Prof Roger Hadgraft, with ketnotes Dr Carl Reidsema of UNSW and Dr Anna Carew from UTas. One of the aims was to promote the sharing of resources to maximise efficiency and effectiveness! The workshop resources can be found at http://elu-unimelb.pbworks.com. Contact Roger for more info.
