Dear ERM members,
Happy Halloween everyone! I want to enjoy my Halloween weekend, so I’m sending out the November 1 ERM newsletter a couple of days early. I hope all of you have some spooky plans for the weekend, even if that just means binge watching scary movies and eating lots of candy!
Thank you to all of our ERM members who attended yesterday’s FIE-related business meeting. While we’ve been sidelined a bit due to COVID this year, I wanted to take some time during our meeting to talk about the future of our division and where we want to go once things get back to normal (hopefully soon!). We spent much of our time talking about what things ERM is doing well and what things we can improve upon. It is so helpful to me to hear the voices of our community to figure out what steps we might need to take next. I am still processing a lot of the information, but wanted to share a few of the interesting thoughts with you.
Overall, attendees felt that we were doing well with communication, that we are a “tangible space for professional socialization,” and that we have a very active membership with lots of new faces in the last few years. Yet, the group also recognized things to work on. Just some of the challenges that were brought up include the following: 1) increasing our reach to our graduate student community to encourage them to become involved, 2) increasing the activity of our more senior members whose involvement has lessened in recent years, 3) making our work more transformative to engineering education practice, 4) providing additional opportunities for people to get involved with the division, and 5) increasing connections with the other divisions, particularly disciplinary-related ones. I already have my wheels spinning in my head about things that we might be able to try related to these suggestions, and will be setting up a meeting with some of the executive board soon to discuss what steps we should take.
If you were unable to attend but have other suggestions on how ERM can improve, please send me an e-mail! Your ideas and thoughts are welcome.
Anyway, lots of announcements today…including many open houses for our graduate programs in engineering education. What a great time to be a graduate student just starting out!!! Please pass along these announcements to prospective students who might be interested in attending these events.
Happy Halloween!
Sarah

NSF ANNOUNCEMENT: Funding and review opportunities at NSF
AI Institute program seeks reviewers
Dear colleagues:
We’re writing to ask you to consider volunteering for the interdisciplinary panels that will review proposals submitted to NSF’s upcoming National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes competition (for more details, please see the program information page (https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505686), which has links to the solicitation, FAQ, and more). We are planning to review proposals in interdisciplinary panels that will meet between February-March. Because we will be on a very tight schedule to meet NSF deadlines, we want to identify possible panelists as soon as possible. If you are interested, please complete this short survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AIInstitutes). Note that you may still serve as a panelist even if you are submitting a proposal to the competition. We will be organizing the panels in different themes to minimize potential conflicts of interest. Please feel free to forward this survey to your colleagues who might be interested.
If you have questions or concerns, please email us at: AIInstitutes@nsf.gov
NSF National AI Research Institute Program Team
New solicitation: Research on Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning (RETTL) – formerly known as Cyberlearning (NSF 20-612) (https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2020/nsf20612/nsf20612.htm)
The purpose of the Research on Emerging Technologies for Teaching and Learning (RETTL) program is to fund exploratory and synergistic research in emerging technologies (to include, but not limited to, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and immersive or augmenting technologies) for teaching and learning in the future. The program accepts proposals that focus on learning, teaching, or a combination of both. The scope of the program is broad, with special interest in diverse learner/educator populations, contexts, and content, including teaching and learning in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in foundational areas that enable STEM (e.g., self-regulation, literacy, communication, collaboration, creativity, and socio-emotional skills). Research in this program should be informed by the convergence (synthesis) of multiple disciplines: e.g., learning sciences; discipline-based education research; computer and information science and engineering; design; and cognitive, behavioral, and social sciences. Within this broad scope, the program also encourages projects that investigate teaching and learning related to futuristic and highly technological work environments.
Deadline: January 25, 2021
Major Research Instrumentation Program (MRI) (NSF 18-513) (https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5260&org=NSF&sel_org=ENG&from=fund)
The Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program serves to increase access to multi-user scientific and engineering instrumentation for research and research training in our Nation’s institutions of higher education and not-for-profit scientific/engineering research organizations. An MRI award supports the acquisition or development of a multi-user research instrument that is, in general, too costly and/or not appropriate for support through other NSF programs. MRI provides support to acquire critical research instrumentation without which advances in fundamental science and engineering research may not otherwise occur. MRI also provides support to develop next-generation research instruments that open new opportunities to advance the frontiers in science and engineering research. Additionally, an MRI award is expected to enhance research training of students who will become the next generation of instrument users, designers and builders.
Deadline: January 19, 2021
Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) (NSF 19-609) (https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=505693&org=NSF&sel_org=ENG&from=fund)
Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) funds research projects that identify (1) factors that are effective in the formation of ethical STEM researchers and (2) approaches to developing those factors in all STEM fields that NSF supports. ER2 solicits proposals for research that explores the following: ‘What constitutes responsible conduct for research (RCR), and which cultural and institutional contexts promote ethical STEM research and practice and why?’ Do certain labs have a ‘culture of academic integrity’? What practices contribute to the establishment and maintenance of ethical cultures and how can these practices be transferred, extended to, and integrated into other research and learning settings?’ Factors one might consider include: honor codes, professional ethics codes and licensing requirements, an ethic of service and/or service learning, life-long learning requirements, curricula or memberships in organizations (e.g. Engineers without Borders) that stress responsible conduct for research, institutions that serve under-represented groups, institutions where academic and research integrity are cultivated at multiple levels, institutions that cultivate ethics across the curriculum, or programs that promote group work, or do not grade. Successful proposals typically have a comparative dimension, either between or within institutional settings that differ along these or among other factors, and they specify plans for developing interventions that promote the effectiveness of identified factors.
Deadline: February 22, 2021
Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) (NSF 20-525) (https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214&org=NSF&sel_org=ENG&from=fund)
CAREER: The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from early-career faculty at all CAREER-eligible organizations and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply.
Deadline: July 26, 2021
For more information, contact Edward Berger, Program Director, Engineering Education, NSF at eberger@nsf.gov
RESEARCH STUDY: Entering and Leaving Careers in Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics
A team of researchers at Penn State seeks participants to complete a 5-10 minute survey on why individuals enter and/or leave careers in Computer Science, Engineering and Math (CSEM). This study aims to add to the current knowledge base by asking individuals to describe their education and career choices in their own words. The primary populations of interest are those who are working or have worked in CSEM. The survey can be accessed at https://redcap.ctsi.psu.edu/surveys/?s=NCF3JHX4Y9. For more information, see http://csempathways.wpengine.com/
RESEARCH STUDY: Interviews of practicing engineers
Researchers at Stanford University are seeking to interview practicing engineers in multiple engineering disciplines for the purpose of characterizing back-of-the-envelope (BOTE) problems. We will first ask and learn about general, conceptual ideas of BOTE problems and then follow that up by asking about specific details of BOTE problems since BOTE problems are not well defined. This is important because students are not being taught to do these types of calculations, yet this approach has historically had many useful applications (e.g. Enrico Fermi estimating the bomb energy yield of the first atomic bomb in the Trinity test). If you are interested, please sign up for an interview here: https://calendly.com/eburkhol/back-of-the-envelope-study or forward this announcement to engineers that you know. The results will be used to improve undergraduate instruction and produce more capable engineers for the workforce.
