Hi Folks, watch this video on relooking the way we teach and how we get out students to learn by Richard Felder.


Richard M. Felder
Hoechst Celanese Professor Emeritus of Chemical Engineering at North Carolina State University. He is coauthor of Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes, a widely used text for the introductory chemical engineering course. Since 1991, he has co-directed the American Society for Engineering Education National Effective Teaching Institute. Many of his education-related publications, handouts for students, and workshop descriptions can be found on his website, Resources in Science and Engineering Education. Beginning in the late 1980s, Dr. Felder shifted his career focus from disciplinary engineering research to educational scholarship. He has coauthored two book chapters and over 200 education-related articles and Random Thoughts columns (the latter in the quarterly journal Chemical Engineering Education). His research and publications deal with many aspects of teaching and learning, with his primary emphasis being on student-centered instructional methods including active learning and cooperative learning. Dr. Felder has given education-related seminars and workshops, with his wife and colleague, Dr. Rebecca Brent, on campuses throughout the United States and abroad. In 1991, with James Stice of the University of Texas, he founded the National Effective Teaching Institute (NETI), a three-day teaching workshop given annually in conjunction with the Annual Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education.
