New Insights Posted
I mentioned in the last post that I’m taking over as the editor of the Engineering Learning Center‘s Teaching and Learning Insights newsletter for the semester. Just thought I’d mention that the February issue (which I did the markup and some light editing for) is posted at insights.engr.wisc.edu. I wrote an article for TLI last…

If you’ve got a second, you should also check out some of…

PSM PSA
Thought this article about MBA-like degrees for scientists was interesting. Here’s something you don’t see every day: Sloan left engineering out of its grant specifications because, said Carol B. Lynch, PSM director at the Council of Graduate Schools, “engineers get it and already understand the value of a master’s degree.” I actually agree with her…

Miscellany
Apologies for the week-long absence. I’m sure it doesn’t seem to bode well for the future of this blog, but I’m honestly just trying to enjoy my last couple weeks of relative sanity before the new semester starts. And again, that means we’re pushing back the anticipated release of the CSC Sunday column. (Conveniently, that…
