SAE International Professional Development Master Instructor Registry

The primary mission of SAE Professional Development is to promote and advance effective learning for engineers through the development and delivery of well-designed learning programs. SAE maintains a roster of approximately 250+ contract instructors and encourages and assists those instructors to continuously study, apply, reflect, and dialog about the application of new skills pertinent to the instructional process.

For those exemplary instructors who have effectively incorporated proven adult learning and active learning practices into their programs, who earn consistently high evaluations, and who are recognized in their field, we confer the SAE Master Instructor designation.

The Master Instructor designation reflects exemplary accomplishment across the following criterion:

  • Seminar evaluations, which must average a 4.5 or higher on a 5 point scale
  • Teaching experience, which must total at least five years with SAE
  • Consistent revisions of intellectual property while adhering to SAE guidelines for design and delivery
  • Cross functional volunteerism throughout the organization
  • Continuous SAE membership for at least five years
