16. CALL FOR PAPERS: Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop XI: Design Education & Practice “How Process Matters”
Two-page abstracts to be submitted by January 31, 2019
Authors notified of acceptance by February 28, 2019
Presenting author registration deadline March 31, 2019
Final papers to be submitted by April 15, 2019
Workshop to be held May 30 – June 1, 2019
Website: https://mudddesignworkshop.com/
Call for Papers: https://mudddesignworkshop.com/callforpapers-mdwix/
The Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop XI will be held at Harvey Mudd College May 30 – June 1, 2019. The workshop theme is Design Education & Practice “How Process Matters.”
Vision: Engineers, designers, and educators will gather to discuss the importance of process to the engineering design enterprise. Participants will reflect on the meaning of process in design, discuss stages and aspects of design processes, and compare approaches to teaching, learning, and practicing engineering design. In design education contexts, key learning goals and deliverables vary by course and experience; the focus may be on mastering particular design skills, building a high quality product, or gaining exposure to some or all of a design process. With variation in emphasis, important questions arise: How might the alternatives of formative or summative perspectives on design education be in real conflict or supportive of larger learning goals? What is the role of process in the context of engineering design education? And how does a process-led pedagogy differ from actual practice?
Mission: To identify, articulate, and address the importance of process in engineering design and design education and to improve the methods by which process is taught, learned, and applied in the context of engineering design process activities.
Possible topics are listed in the call for papers at https://mudddesignworkshop.com/callforpapers-mdwix/.
Experience: Podium sessions are initiated by brief position paper summaries from panelists followed by extended open discussion. Poster sessions will include multiple perspectives and will be included in the wrap-up session. The wrap-up session will collect the most important outputs for improving engineering design education for dissemination to the community. Participants will receive a preliminary proceedings containing near-final manuscripts of presented papers. Those drafts will subsequently be refined and reviewed for publication in a Special Issue of the International Journal of Engineering Education to comprise the archival proceedings of the Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop XI.
Abstracts should be submitted electronically to:

19. CALL FOR PAPERS: 2019 Symposium on Education in Entertainment and Engineering
The Department of Theatre and The School of Engineering Education at Purdue University announce the first Symposium on Education in Entertainment and Engineering, to be held July 25-27, 2019. This event aims to foster discussion, collaboration, and dissemination of work related to instruction and education of students seeking careers where engineering and live entertainment converge. The live entertainment industry presents increasingly complex challenges for technicians—whether in small community theatres or in large theme parks. At the same time, the shape of post-secondary education is changing—with an increasing emphasis on hands-on learning and outcome-based instructional design becoming the norm. At the convergence of these threads is the need to effectively prepare and educate students to enter the rapidly changing world of live entertainment technology.
Your submission should highlight advances, challenges, and trends in curricular design, instructional design, academic research, and cross-disciplinary work related to the intersection of engineering and live entertainment. As this symposium is specifically aimed at building bridges between two exceptionally different academic and professional cultures and practices, we welcome abstract submissions from all backgrounds and academic experiences. We will consider proposals that explore the interstitial spaces amongst the disciplines of engineering, theatre technology, and education, including the following topic areas:
• Curricular development (including explorations of curricular design, academic silos, interdisciplinary/cross-disciplinary challenges and strategies, etc.)
• Creating and navigating academic/industrial partnerships
• The relationship between “traditional research” and “creative endeavor”
• Instructional design and pedagogy in interdisciplinary/cross-disciplinary fields (Art+ Engineering, Technology…)
• K-12 and Post-Secondary education(STEAM), extra-curricular programming, and diversity/inclusion outreach
• The relationship between traditional instruction and production/performance work
• Technology, AI, and conceptualizing the theatre of the future
The Symposium Committee invites all those interested to submit proposals for papers, posters, and panels. Panels should consist of three authors/papers. All proposals should include an abstract no longer than 500 words, proposal title, 200-word biography, current CV (with contact information for each individual), and any requests for audio/visual equipment necessary for presentation. Submissions must be made via email to Rich Dionne (rdionne@purdue.edu) no later than November 15, 2018. Questions about the symposium or the submission process can be directed to the same.
