This book offers a platform for engineering educators who are
interested in implementing a "creative ways of knowing" approach to
presenting engineering concepts. The case studies in this book
reveal how students learn through creative engagement that includes
not only design and build activities, but also creative
presentations of learning, such as composing songs, writing poems
and short stories, painting and drawing, as well as designing
animations and comics. Any engineering educator will find common
ground with the authors, who are all experienced engineering and
liberal arts professors, who have taken the step to include
creative activities and outlets for students learning engineering.
The imperative to write and to publish is a relatively new
development in the history of academia, yet it is now a significant
factor in the culture of higher education. 'Working with Faculty
Writers' takes a broad view of faculty writing support, advocating
its value for tenure-track professors, adjuncts, senior scholars,
and graduate students. The authors in this volume imagine
productive campus writing support for faculty and future faculty
that allows for new insights about their own disciplinary writing
and writing processes, as well as the development of fresh ideas
about student writing. Contributors from a variety of institution
types and perspectives consider who faculty writers are and who
they may be in the future, reveal the range of locations and models
of support for faculty writers, explore the ways these might be
delivered and assessed, and consider the theoretical,
philosophical, political, and pedagogical approaches to faculty
writing support, as well as its relationship to student writing
support. With the pressure on faculty to be productive researchers
and writers greater than ever, this is a must-read volume for
administrators, faculty, and others involved in developing and
assessing models of faculty writing support.
