Faculty Teaching Fellows Program

We are launching a COE Faculty Teaching Fellows Program. The tiers are displayed in the infographic below. Because each tier's activities are based upon the completion of the previous one, it is very important for you to accomplish the lower tier before participating in an advanced one. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the program, please contact engr-ecec@unl.edu or Dr. Tareq Daher.
