Registration for the American Concrete Institute’s 2024 Professors’ Workshop is now open. The 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. This year’s event will be held in three stages on July 15, 23, and 24.
The first stage is composed of a series of asynchronous presentations that can be completed at your convenience through ACI University. The second part will an online-only event on July 15, and the third part will be a face-to-face event held at ACI World Headquarters in Farmington Hills, MI, on July 23 and 24. Prominent, nationally known faculty and industry representatives will present information and resources to assist professors in preparing or fine-tuning their concrete-related courses. Those who register will have access to both online and in-person portions of the event.
The asynchronous online portion of the workshop will focus on providing teaching resources that are suited 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 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. Breakout sessions will be guided by the Professors’ Workshop faculty, with plenty of opportunity for exchanging teaching ideas with faculty and fellow attendees. Attendees will receive a certificate of participation for attending the workshop.
