• Resumen

  • In response to the need for faculty training, the American Society of Civil Engineers developed and funded the ExCEEd (Excellence in Civil Engineering Education) Teaching Workshop, which was offered for the first time in 1999 and celebrated its tenth year during the summer of 2008. For the past decade, 21 ExCEEd Teaching Workshops (ETW) have been held at the United States Military Academy, the University of Arkansas, and Northern Arizona University. ETW has realized 497 graduates from 198 different US and international colleges and universities. This paper summarizes the content of ETW, assesses its effectiveness, highlights changes in the program as a result of these assessments, outlines future directions, and assesses the effect this workshop has had on the quality of civil engineering teaching in the US. The assessment data were obtained from multiple survey instruments conducted during each workshop, surveys taken six months to a year after the workshop, and a ten-year longitudinal survey.
