Integration of MSOE's Common Learning Outcomes within the Raider Core

The Center for Teaching and Learning offers support with the design of signature assignments intended to address one or more of MSOE's Common Learning Outcomes (CLOs). We offer group workshops focused on strategies to develop and assess the skills associated with each Common Learning Outcome, as well as one-on-one consultations. We assist faculty interested in updating existing assignments, seeking guidance on how to better align the assignments with the CLO, or one designing a new signature assignment. Please contact Dr. Mari Parés-Toral at pares-toral@msoe.edu to schedule a one-on-one consultation.

• New Faculty Onboarding: For new full-time faculty, we provide a two-week, in-person onboarding program prior to the start of Fall Semester that includes seminars on university resources, services and policies, as well as opportunities to network and work on preparing for the academic year with the support of the CREATE Institute staff. For adjunct faculty as well as other faculty who join MSOE throughout the school year, we provide an evening of onboarding or one-on-one sessions, depending on the size of the cohort.

The CREATE Institute collaborates with academic departments to coordinate mentorship opportunities.
