Dear ERM members,

 

It has felt like the last two weeks since I last sent out the newsletter have flown. The ASEE abstract deadline is today! You can submit to Slayte at this link: https://asee.slayte.com/calls/detail/78bcc47d-2846-11ec-907b-0e0ce905385c. Just as a note, you cannot add co-authors until the paper, not abstract, submission process (I spent several minutes trying to edit my submission before I grasped what the text on the website meant). I hope that many of us will be able to interact at a future in-person conference safely.

 

Last week, we had our fall ERM business meeting. Dr. Alex Mejia, our ERM Secretary/Treasurer, brought up the current proposed and enacted measures by the unelected Financial Oversight and Management Board in Puerto Rico (https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/university-puerto-rico-protests/). In the past week, confirmation hearings for the debt adjustment plan have begun. Opportunity for future generations to pursue education is a key part of engineering education and is aligned with our ongoing conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice. Dr. Mejia has been advocating, along with several other of our community members, on social media and via other outlets. The current proposed cuts will severely limit opportunities for Puerto Ricans; efforts have already included reducing the public University of Puerto Rico’s budget by half, increasing tuition threefold, closing a third of the island’s public K-12 schools.

 

I did not know all of the details of the situation in Puerto Rico. And, I felt that there was an opportunity to amplify this concern and requested action through this platform, particularly in light of our continued goals as a division. There may be various ways to engage with this issue. These efforts may include learning more about the situation, writing a statement of support for UPR and our colleagues in your spaces of influence, and something else. I hope we as a division can continue to learn from and with each other and work as a community for positive change in engineering education.

 

All my best,

Allison

1. SEEKING SUBMISSIONS: ASEE Year of Impact on Racial Equity—90-day Equity Challenge

 

ASEE’s Year of Impact on Racial Equity (2021 – 2022) is well underway. The major tenets of this initiative can be described by three pillars. The pillars are focused on engaging engineering and engineering technology students, faculty and administrators in colleges of engineering and engineering technology, and P-12 parents and guardians, respectively. This announcement is focused on the first of these three groups.

 

Engineering and engineering technology (E&ET) student organizations offer opportunities for students to develop peer networks, gain valuable co-curricular experiences, apply knowledge acquired in the classroom to real-world challenges, and prepare for future success in the workplace. Participation in engineering student organizations can offer students access to career opportunities including mentoring, internships/co-ops, job opportunities. The access and experiences that these opportunities afford are valuable and formative for an engineering student’s success and persistence. But the question we should ask ourselves is: are all students able to take advantage of, and benefit from, these opportunities? In this 90-day Equity Challenge, we challenge the leaders of student organizations to identify and address barriers that exist within the local chapter of your organization which may prevent equitable and inclusive engagement by all students. At the end of the 90-day challenge, fifteen (15) teams will be selected to win a $1,000 prize for their organization, have their work highlighted on a national platform, and be featured in multiple press releases. The deadline for the 1-pg proposal submission is Jan. 3, 2022. For more info, please visit: https://diversity.asee.org/deicommittee/yire/90-day-challenge/

 

Please pass this message along to your students and/or the E&ET student organizations that you advise.

Dear ERM members,

 

Happy November! Halloween has never been one of my favorite holidays, but last night, we took our son out for his first time trick-or-treating. He was a little unsure at first about walking up to doors and knocking, but once he realized that people would answer and give him candy, he really got into the process. It was a lot of fun celebrating the holiday with him and experiencing the newness of it vicariously.

 

I have also promised an ERM business meeting associated with FIE. Please mark your calendars for Tuesday, November 9 at 3 pm EST. I will send a calendar invite with a consent agenda by tomorrow. I’ve been working with your ERM officers to get all the updates pulled together. If you cannot make the meeting, I will record it and share the link afterwards. Looking forward to seeing some of your virtually soon!

 

All my best,

Allison
