One-day workshops on teaching with failure case studies have been held every year since 2003. The workshops reviewed the materials and educator’s experiences in incorporating them in the undergraduate curriculum. Workshop participants receive a thick binder of case studies and a CD-ROM with case study PowerPoint presentations.
The 2009 workshop has been tentatively scheduled for the ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition, Sunday, June 14, 2009, in Austin, Texas. Register through the conferences tab at www.asee.org Unlike past workshops, this will only be a half day long. The 2009 workshop will focus on teaching techniques with case studies, and not on the details of the cases themselves.
If you would like to attend a future workshop, please email Norb Delatte at n.delatte@csuohio.edu
Past workshops have been sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the ASCE Technical Council on Forensic Engineers.
A half day workshop will be held on the afternoon of 2 December 2008 in conjunction with the Fourth International Conference on Forensic Engineering - From Failure to Understanding in London, UK. For details, visit the conference web site http://www.forensicengineering2008.com/
