The primary mission of SAE Professional Development is to promote and advance effective learning for engineers through the development and delivery of well-designed learning programs. SAE maintains a roster of approximately 250+ contract instructors and encourages and assists those instructors to continuously study, apply, reflect, and dialog about the application of new skills pertinent to the instructional process.
For those exemplary instructors who have effectively incorporated proven adult learning and active learning practices into their programs, who earn consistently high evaluations, and who are recognized in their field, we confer the SAE Master Instructor designation.
The Master Instructor designation reflects exemplary accomplishment across the following criterion:
SAE Professional Development is always seeking experienced engineering professionals with industry/academic backgrounds to propose and instruct web seminars.
SAE contracts with instructors to present web seminars on current, applications-oriented subjects, and fundamental and advanced process theory courses. The instructors are responsible for the course outline development; class notes including activities, practice sets, and case studies; presentation aides and materials; and instruction of the material on mutually agreeable dates.
All SAE web seminars are subject to peer review by the Technical Review Committee (TRC) of the Continuing Professional Development Group before presentation. The TRC evaluates, approves and recommends whether a seminar should be included in the schedule. This process takes approximately 6-8 weeks to complete. If the reviewers have suggestions for a course, an SAE program developer will work with the instructor to incorporate those recommendations.
