Education Development Center

A committed faculty is an essential part of any program within the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology, IUPUI. The school's faculty, always at the center of the education process, creates the learning environment of engineering and technology students and thus influences the overall rates of enrollment and retention. The success of a department, a school, and most importantly a student, rests on the enthusiasm and dedication of individual faculty members and the existence of up-to-date facilities and curricula. Today's faculty member must function in a classroom that is constantly changing--one must adapt to new teaching methodologies, technological advances, and the increased diversity of the student body. In order to help faculty members adapt to this changing environment, and in order to strengthen IUPUI's engineering and technology education, a facility is needed that will provide the fundamental resources for faculty development. The purpose of The Education Development Center, then, is to become that facility. In cooperation with the existing Center for Teaching and Learning, which is within The Office of Faculty Development, The Education Development Center will contribute teaching-related resources, as well as assist both faculty and students in identifying funding opportunities.
