NICKEL VIII Conference
Join NICKEL VIII at McGill University on August 8-9th, 2023!
NICKEL – the National Initiative on Capacity building and Knowledge creation for Engineering Leadership – is running its annual, interactive conference in-person at McGill University in Montreal.
NICKEL is a community of faculty, staff and instructors interested in furthering engineering students’ leadership capabilities. This community gathers to learn from each other, share insights and wisdom from teaching practice, and collaboratively build our capacity to support our students. Through enhancing our students’ leadership, we enable them to increase their positive impact on the world around them.
NICKEL VIII will involve in-person workshops, classroom simulations, reflective activities, and great conversation!
Objectives for NICKEL 2023:
Build relationships between individuals engaged in engineering leadership education.
Form a network of learning and action.
Demonstrate and experience active leadership learning.
Share best practices and greatest challenges.
Integrate new ideas into university programs.
Stimulate interest in research on engineering leadership and its pedagogy
Who Should Attend?
University faculty, staff, and instructors from Canadian universities with a personal interest and passion for the topic and role alignment with engineering leadership initiatives.
No experience in teaching engineering leadership necessary - just an interest to learn and share your perspectives with others.
Past attendees have included faculty members, curriculum developers, student experience professionals, engineering deans, and department chairs.
