Teacher's Institute
CICMHE sponsors a Teachers Institute for faculty members who teach material handling in schools of engineering at four-year universities,
as well as in two-year and four-year schools of technology. The institute is offered every two years in the summer of odd-numbered years.

The purpose of this event is to prepare new faculty for instruction in the field of materials handling as well as to update the skills of experienced
faculty. The week-long program includes sessions on:
- How experienced faculty are teaching material handling
- Available resources and references
- The state of the art and trends in selected equipment and system categories
- New teaching materials
- Teaching methods, to include short cycle methods for testing modeling skills, and the use of detailed case studies
- Assignments requiring attendees to "get their hands dirty"
- Numerous social outings are also offered, including field trips and entertainment events.
The Teachers Institute is made possible by a grant from the Material Handling Institute. The grant provides funds for each participant to
cover all on-site expenses including housing, meals, local transportation, program materials, local tours and numerous social events.
