workshop

This one day workshop presented by the Institute for Scientists & Engineer Educators (ISEE) and the Center for Adaptive Optics (CfAO)  is designed to introduce the multi-year ISEE/CfAO Professional Development Program (PDP) for early career science and engineering professionals.

 

PDP participants receive training through workshops, work on a design team before and after workshops, continue developing their skills through mini-workshops and expert consultation, and then put their new teaching skills into practice.
