Registration for the 2023 ACI Professors’ Workshop is now open. The ACI Professors’ Workshop is designed to provide instructors in civil engineering, architecture, architectural engineering, materials science, and construction management programs the latest tools and teaching techniques to effectively engage students in courses that cover structural concrete design, construction, materials, and pavements. Prominent, nationally known faculty and industry representatives will present both information and resources to assist professors in preparing or fine-tuning their concrete-related courses.
The workshop will take place in two parts; the first will be an online-only event on July 17 and 18, and the second will be a face-to-face event held at ACI Headquarters on July 25 and 26. Those who purchase tickets will have access to both the online and in-person portions of the event.
The synchronous online portion of the workshop will focus on providing teaching resources that are great for both online and face-to-face formats. Although the online portion will focus on providing resources, interactive online sessions are also planned to facilitate discussion and exchange ideas.
Face-to-face sessions at ACI HQ in Farmington Hills, MI, will be highly interactive. Attendees will participate in numerous breakout sessions to develop course goals, student learning objectives in the context of topical modules, instructional materials, laboratory activities, and assessments. The Professors’ Workshop faculty will guide the breakout sessions. There will be plenty of opportunity for exchanging teaching ideas with both faculty and fellow attendees. Attendees will receive a certificate of participation for attending the workshop.
