The special session will take place during the 2020 American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference on Monday, June 22, 2020, from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Each selected early career scholar will present as a panelist, giving a brief, 5-minute lightning talk to introduce themselves and their work to a growing scholarly community focused on research on engineering practice. The scholars will then display a poster about a project and their broader research and career interests related to engineering practice, for feedback, ideas, and support from session attendees. PhD students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career research scientists or faculty members who conducted research on engineering practice and / or its connections to engineering education are encouraged to apply. A travel stipend of $700 will be offered to each selected panelist. Up to 6 panelists will be selected. Applicants should submit: A brief statement (1 page max.) about a project the applicant is currently undertaking or has recently completed related to engineering practice and / or its connections to engineering education. (This can be a project conducted individually or in collaboration with others.) A brief statement (1 page max.) on the applicant’s general research and career interests related to engineering practice and how the applicant’s participation in this panel session has potential to advance their interests. A 2-page version of the applicant’s resume or curriculum vitae (please include a listing of your papers or posters that have been accepted for the 2020 ASEE Annual Conference). Applications are due on March 13, 2020 and should be submitted using the form available at: https://asuengineering.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_brbErG13eZ4tUON. Participants will be notified about their selection no later than March 31, 2020. Please direct questions to Samantha Brunhaver at samantha.brunhaver@asu.edu.

Posted on June 11, 2019 by admin Posted in Organization Congrats to Purdue’s ASEE Student Chapter Posted on May 17, 2019 by admin The Purdue Student Chapter of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) was awarded first place at the Purdue campus-wide Healthy Student Organization competition in 2019! Julianna Ge served as the Health and Wellness Chair for ASEE at Purdue, a new ASEE executive board position created with the primary goal of supporting the success and healthy functioning of Purdue’s student chapter of ASEE through health and wellness initiatives and advocacy. With the understanding that the health of an organization depends on the health of its members, each student organization should have a Health and Wellness Chair to ensure the health and wellness of its members. Posted in Organization Breakfast Panel at ASEE Conference Posted on May 17, 2019 by admin You’re Invited to Our Breakfast Panel Discussion at ASEE Breakfast to be served. RSVP Required. Tuesday, June 18, 8-9:30am Room 5 in Tampa Convention Center Student and Faculty Perspectives on The Changing Role of Textbooks in Engineering Education Join McGraw-Hill and the ASEE Student Division for an insightful panel discussion with engineering faculty members and students who will talk about the evolution of the classroom experience from their perspectives. As pedagogy shifts towards creating a more active learning experience, how are engineering faculty and students using textbooks and other course materials? How can textbooks evolve to better meet the needs of faculty and students today? Tuesday, June 18, 8-9:30am Room 5 in Tampa Convention Center RSVP Required https://learn.mheducation.com/2019_Breakfast_ASEE.html Posted in Organization Contest for all ASEE Student Division Chapters! Posted on February 18, 2019 by admin In the spirit of National Engineers Week, the ASEE Student Division challenges all student chapters to spread the word of what you’re doing in engineering and engineering education. The chapters with the most creative responses will be entered to win 3 free tickets (1st place) and 2 free tickets (2nd place) to the Student Division Dinner at the upcoming National Conference! Contest ends midnight 2/24 Tweet out what you are doing to @asee_sd Posted in Organization Draft Review Volunteers Needed Posted on January 24, 2019 by admin As we approach the paper drafts deadline for the upcoming national conference, it is time again to seek volunteers to help review drafts. We greatly appreciated the help we received for abstracts and would love to get more input from our community as we go through this next round of reviews. If you would like to help, please email Wesley Odom (program chair: podom@purdue.edu) and let him know how many papers you would like to review (average is about 2 or 3). Please let Wesley know if you would like to help by February 4th. Drafts are due by February 4th and review assignments will go out shortly thereafter (provided there is not an extension of the draft due date). You will have about two weeks to complete the reviews. Posted in Organization Student Division Information Webinar Posted on October 1, 2018 by admin We are hosting an information webinar about submitting abstracts to the Student division for the 2019 Annual Conference in Tampa, Florida. In case you were not sure if you should submit, how to submit, what to submit, or if you had any other questions about abstract submission and ASEE Annual Conference participation, this webinar may be helpful to you. We will attempt to answer as many questions as possible that you all bring up during the webinar. The webinar will be held on October 1st at 5:00pm (eastern time zone) and will last for approximately 30-40 minutes.

Programs Engineering Education Research : PROSPECTIVE STUDENT OPEN HOUSE We are excited to announce that the University of Michigan has just launched a brand new graduate program in Engineering Education Research (EER). As you might know, EER is an emerging field in which scholars use methods from education and social sciences to study issues relevant in engineering education such as supporting faculty as they adopt more student-centered teaching approaches, using classroom technology to improve students’ understanding of foundational engineering concepts, or comparing the approaches used by expert and novice designers as they solve engineering problems. The University of Michigan’s EER program represents a unique, interdisciplinary model. Several tenure-line EER faculty are embedded within the traditional engineering departments, while EER graduate students are part of a college-wide program. This allows the EER faculty...
