  1. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:  Engineering PhD Research Experiences Study

We are researchers at Purdue University studying how the research experiences of engineering PhD students prepare them for professional practice. We are hoping that this message and the survey link below are shared by students, faculty, and professionals across engineering. The purpose of this study is to advance basic knowledge about the variation and scope of the engineering PhD student research experiences so that the results could be shared with the wider community to influence change for education and evaluation purposes.

We are asking engineering PhD students to participate in an online survey about their PhD research experiences. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Answers will remain completely confidential. The survey will ask questions about a student’s current PhD research experiences and research group organization style. A student must be 18 years or older and an engineering PhD student to participate in the study. Please click the link below for more information and to begin the survey: https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cZJsIuPAVmbd5oF

For questions, please contact PI Kerrie Douglas (douglask@purdue.edu) or graduate student Eric Holloway (eahollow@purdue.edu).

 

  1. NSF ANNOUNCEMENT:  Updated solicitation for NSF Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) Program

NSF announces an updated solicitation for the Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) program, and it includes two tracks: (i) Innovation, and (ii) Adaptation and Implementation (A&I). The goal of the RED program is to catalyze revolutionary, not incrementally reformist, changes to the education of the next generation of engineers. Revolutionary means radically, suddenly, or completely new; producing fundamental, structural change; or going outside of or beyond existing norms and principles. For details and deadline, please see the new solicitation NSF 19-614. Please direct inquiries to Program Director Edward Berger, eberger@nsf.gov. A RED informational webinar will be held on 10/09/2019 (register). The webinar will be recorded and will be available for review on the program webpage.

We encourage you to contact the Program Director before committing to write your proposal.

  1. CALL FOR NOMINATIONS AND PARTICIPATION: Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering

Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering (JWM), under new Editor-in-Chief Julie P. Martin, is accepting nominations for Associate Editors and reviewers. Self-nominations are encouraged! Please see JWM’s new vision along with our updated Aims &Scope below—will you join us in making this vision happen? To nominate yourself or a colleague for either role, or if you have questions or comments, please email Julie at martin.4071@osu.edu the subject line “JWM” for more information.

Our vision for JWM is to be a force for nurturing the community of diversity and inclusion scholarship and practice in STEM, and is a place where:

–  Authors feel supported in their life’s work and receive fair, constructive, and timely feedback

–  Reviewers practice the art of constructive feedback so that each review is a tangible contribution towards creating a constructive and supportive culture for academic publishing in STEM education.

–  Associate Editors create a community dedicated to holding our field to a higher standard in how we treat each other and our life’s work. As individuals and as a group, associate editors lead by example in creating a constructive culture for academic publishing.

Aims & Scope: The Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering publishes original, peer-reviewed papers that report on empirical investigations covering a variety of topics related to achieving inclusion of historically underrepresented and minoritized populations in science and engineering education, academe, and professional practice. These populations include those who identify as people of color, white women, first generation college students, veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and the intersections of these and other identities. The journal especially welcomes research manuscripts that use theoretical frameworks and methodologies appropriate to the study of underrepresented and marginalized populations and/or use intersectional approaches. The Journal also publishes studies on novel educational innovations that hold promise for transferability to other contexts.

 

  1. ASSISTANT EDITOR SEARCH: Chemical Engineering Education – Assistant Editors Search

Chemical Engineering Education (CEE), the premier journal for educational scholarship in chemical engineering and related fields, is seeking applications for up to four (4) Assistant Editor positions available within the journal. CEE is published by the Chemical Engineering Division of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).
