Spring 2026 UConn ECE History 1400 Workshop

Posted on by

On Wednesday, February 25th, our ECE History 1400 instructors gathered for their annual professional development experience under the guidance of ECE Faculty Coordinator Thomas Maulucci, Ph.D. Discussions were lively, covering topics including Marxist critiques of political economy, the Protestant ethic and spirit of Capitalism, the British Industrial Revolution, and economic divergence between Europe and Asia.

Many thanks to Dr. Maulucci and all of the workshop attendees for making this a fulfilling day! We look forward to the next time our History 1400 instructors join us on campus.

Spring 2026 UConn ECE American Sign Language Workshop

Posted on by

Wednesday, March 11 was a busy day in ECE! We hosted three professional development conferences, including one for our American Sign Language instructors. The day was jam-packed with content, beginning with an overview of UConn’s ASL opportunities and resources. Additionally, instructors had the opportunity to engage in a Teacher Talk hosted by Mike Schlang from the UConn ASL faculty, and a student panel surrounding former ASL experiences in their high schools. Finally, Kristine Hall from Los Angeles’ Pierce College delivered a keynote address surrounding the Signing Naturally curriculum.

Thank you, as always, to faculty coordinator Linda Pelletier, Ph.D., as well as all guest contributors, for making this session a day to remember! We look forward to next year’s event already.
