The Office for the Advancement of Engineering Teaching & Learning (ET&L) offers instructional consultation services to all UW engineering educators.
ET&L services are tailored to the specific needs of engineering faculty. We build on current research to offer a diverse set of instructional development opportunities. Recognizing the time and intellectual commitments of educators at a large research university, ET&L instructional services are always:
- Grounded in scholarship
- Personalized to your needs
- Flexible, integrated, and systematic
In our experience, small changes over time lead to big payoffs. Our clients have enhanced learning and teaching in their courses and improved their teaching evaluations.
