2026–27 E³ Fellows

The inaugural cohort

Ten Visiting Instructional Assistant Professors from six units across the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering, serving Fall 2026 through Spring 2027.

Six units, one community of practice

Fellows are appointed within their home departments and units, but train together — sharing observations, professional development, and scholarly teaching work across disciplinary lines.
