Congratulations to Dr Muhammad Shazzad Hossain for his Associate Membership with the Faculty Academy for the Scholarship of Education (FASE).

FASE is a membership organisation with developmental and capacity building facilities and the scope to act as a clearing house for educational concerns. FASE is intended to provide continual professional development as a discipline based supplement to the educational programmes offered by the Centre for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL), thereby enabling more FECM lecturers access to and appreciation of scholarly teaching and assessment approaches. FASE will also provide an equitable systematic Faculty wide mechanism to provide reward to scholarly teachers, as members will gain credit for their FASE activities within their annual academic portfolio submission. This in turn will facilitate teaching and assessment practices known to improve student learning.

FASE aims to:

• Enhance the scholarship of education in engineering, computing and mathematics;
• Provide a scholarly framework for the development of new curricula and the constructive alignment of curricula with approaches to teaching and assessment;
• Provide support, training and continuing professional development (in collaboration with CATL) in advanced pedagogical approaches based on research evidence; and
• Build capacity in engineering, computing and mathematics education research.
