ECSEL's focus is on the teaching of design in its social and ethical context. Intra- and inter-institutional faculty and student teams are developing new courses, new teaching/learning strategies, and supporting materials. Their efforts are subjected to external evaluations and internal assessments by students and faculty. The goal is to ensure the effectiveness and appeal of these educational reforms to all students, especially to women and underrepresented minorities. This section of the OEC contains information useful to New /Junior faculty in academia.
