Originally an NSF-funded project, the design of the certificate program was evaluated, revised, and relaunched in fall 2016. At the same time, Georgia Tech joined the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching, and Learning (CIRTL), a 37-institution network whose mission is to improve undergraduate STEM education through the development of future faculty.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETech to Teaching participants complete 10 learning outcomes that are organized around major pillars of evidence based teaching: how students learn, the impact of student diversity on learning, effective teaching techniques, creating and assessing learning goals, and integrating technology into teaching. Participants select from multiple pathways to achieve the foundation-level learning outcomes, including 3-credit graduate level courses, on campus workshops, or online resources. Upon completing the 10 foundation-level outcomes, participants receive the CIRTL Associate Level certificate.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn the Tech to Teaching Capstone, participants practice and receive feedback on their teaching either as instructor-of-record or as a co-instructor with a faculty mentor. The CTL seminar that accompanies and supports the teaching experience provides cross-disciplinary opportunities for participants to give and receive feedback about teaching, expand their faculty network, and prepare their teaching statement.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERecent capstone participant Cristian Crisan says, \u0026ldquo;this has been a wonderful experience for me that has exceeded my expectations and made me learn many new skills.
