Happy belated Halloween, ERM Members! Here in the Leonhard Center, we celebrated Halloween with the theme of the Wild West. All the Leonhard Center faculty, staff, and students dressed up and decorated the office as an old Western town (pictures of the Penn State College of Engineering celebration available at http://bit.ly/2ptGdjj). Not only do we have a lot of fun on Halloween, but we’ve found that annual traditions, such as our over-the-top Halloween celebration, contribute to an amazingly positive workplace culture!

Speaking of positive culture, I wanted to briefly mention our ERM strategic goals for 2019-2021 and to thank all of the attendees at the Business Meeting held at FIE two weeks ago. As discussed during the meeting, ERM has launched several task forces to work on our strategic goals. I have listed each goal below with the ERM Directors who will be leading these efforts:

Be financially stable and rebuild reserves (Holly Matusovich and Matt Ohland)
Be perceived as a community where its members feel welcome, included, and that they have a voice (Nadia Kellam and Justin Major)
Be leaders in having conference sessions that are interactive, innovative, and engaging (Stephanie Cutler and others TBD).
Have a greater number of members who are nominated and potentially win ASEE awards (Sam Brunhaver, Aditya Johri, and James Huff)
I will keep you posted on some of the recommendations and changes that we make, although suggestions from the greater ERM Community are more than welcome. If any of you have any suggestions on how ERM can work to meet these goals, please send me an e-mail.

The picture below shows some of the attendees who were able to attend the meeting. Full meeting minutes, the agenda, and the consent agenda are available online at https://erm.asee.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2019/10/FIE2019minutes.pdf.

Hope you are all doing well! Scroll down for our regular ERM announcements!

2. CALL FOR PAPERS: Special Issue of SEE: Theories and Methods in Engineering Education

As part of our mission to expand the conversations among engineering education researchers, SEE Co-Editors Shane Brown and Marie Paretti invite papers for a special issue of the journal exploring theories, methods, and the interplay between them in our field from a variety of perspectives. As an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of education, social sciences, and education, engineering education often borrows and adapts frameworks and methods from other fields to guide our research. In this special issue, we invite authors to deepen our conversation around these practices by bringing a critical lens to them. Questions to consider might include the following: How do we as a field use theories, and to what end? How do we choose methods, and what are the implications of those choices? What are the relationships between theory and method in our work?

https://www.seejournal.org/announcement/

3. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Reviewers for International Journal of Engineering, Social Justice, and Peace
The International Journal of Engineering, Social Justice, and Peace (IJESJP) has received an increased amount of submissions the past year, and we are seeking participants who are available to provide peer-reviews for manuscripts on a range of themes, including:

Alternative practices and conceptual frameworks of engineering that contribute to community empowerment, especially as related to the way engineering is organized and managed and what it is that engineers do and who it is they do it for;
Mainstream practices and conceptual frameworks of engineering that work at cross purposes to social justice and peace, including the relationship between engineering and dominant economic, government, and cultural institutions;
The relationship between engineering and the publics it serves, including needs assessments, engineer-community engagements, public dialogue surrounding engineering work, and engineers’ roles in technology policy making;
Engineering education strategies aimed at promoting social justice and/or peace, including matters of pedagogy, curricula design, and academic values and institutions.
Our aim is to create a peer review process that is constructive and supportive of one another in the work for social justice. Feedback to authors should be encouraging and welcoming. It should also be critical in the sense of making recommendations toward the end of furthering the work.

Because we are an interdisciplinary journal, we welcome a broad diversity of perspectives in the peer review process. If you would like more information or to participate in our peer reviews, please send an email with a brief description of your areas of expertise to Andrea Haverkamp at haverkaa@oregonstate.edu
