NOMINATIONS
INFORM-ED (INFORMS Forum on Education) and INFORMS Education Committee are
organizing the Fifth Teaching Effectiveness Colloquium (TEC V), to be held
on October 17-18, prior to the 2003 INFORMS conference in Atlanta.
TEC V will be an opportunity for teachers of Management Science, Operations
Research, and Operations Management at any stage of professional development
to pursue continuous improvement while exploring possibilities for creativity
and fun in the classroom. Participants will be able to draw on the combined
experience of a team of presenters widely known for excellence and innovation.
These presenters will demonstrate how to employ case discussions, web-based
simulation exercises and PC software to teach such topics as supply chain management
and optimization modeling. Undergraduate as well as graduate academic environments
will be considered.
TEC V runs concurrently with the Doctoral Student Colloquium on Saturday,
October 18. TEC V participants will also join participants from the other colloquium
in a welcome session and dinner on the evening of Friday, October 17, as well
as lunch and a closing session on Saturday, October 18.
