The Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO) is currently recruiting its 5th cohort for this Fall 2019 for the Teacher Engineering Education Program. TEEP is a graduate course through Tufts University for any practicing elementary, middle school, or high school teacher who is seeking to change or expand their approach through the integration of engaging hands-on engineering principles in their coursework. The program is flexible, affordable, and designed to fit a busy teacher’s lifestyle. All four courses are online, allowing participants to work at their own pace and offer 16 total hours of graduate credit.
The Jack of All Trades:
Physics teacher, science department chair, and robotics coach, Pete Erbland recently got the chance to reflect on the breadth of engineering curriculum the Teacher Engineering Education Program helped him bring to the classroom. Pete not only found the program to help him expand his teaching repertoire but found it connected him to his students as he was once again thrown into the student role. First apprehensive about the online course format, Pete found this setup to actually enhance his learning. This class gave him the opportunity to connect with teachers from all around the world and collaborate on problems like “How much weight can a standard paper grocery bag hold?”; a question that he was later able to share with his students.
