Fall 2024 UConn ECE Math Workshop

On Thursday, December 12th, we hosted our final professional development workshop for Fall 2024! Certified ECE Math instructors met virtually this morning, under the guidance of ECE Faculty Coordinator for Mathematics, Dr. Anthony Rizzie.

For the beginning of the workshop, all instructors convened via Webex for some ECE and Math-related updates, before breaking into groups based on the specific Math courses that they teach. Finally, the workshop wrapped up with a discussion on student preparedness and readiness.

Thank you to all who participated, and helped to create yet another enriching experience for our ECE instructors!
