Dear ERM members,
My apologies for the lack of emails. I’ve been sending them out every two weeks but did not realize that they were not coming to you! The listserv privileges have been updated, and we should now be back to our regularly scheduled bi-monthly announcements.
As I brace for the arctic blast coming from the Midwest, I’m going to make a prediction that our rodent friend, Punxsutawney Phil, will spy his form cast on the ground tomorrow, and we’ll have six more weeks of winter. For those of you in warmer climes, please send some warmth to those of us who long for balmy weather. Don’t hold me to that prediction, but I hope I’ll be more accurate than Phil, who’s stats are being correct 39% of the time (that’s worse than the guess rate!).
On another more serious note, we still do not have access to our BASS account funds. In preparation for the ASEE 2023 Annual Conference & Exposition, we are going to continue to plan for our awards: Apprentice Faculty Grants (new call in these announcements), Best Paper, Best Diversity Paper, and Service Award, but the details of financial support and plaques for recognition are still being sorted. I want to provide as up-to-date transparency as I can. I don’t know much more at this time. We do plan on using our business meeting as a time for socialization and recognition in place of the Annual Community Celebration and Awards Reception (ACCAR). We will make it a time for us to connect and try to have some additional creative plans for connecting members outside of that scheduled time in the program. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or ideas as we work through the current situation.
To sunnier days ahead (both literally and metaphorically)!
All my best,
Allison

The Apprentice Faculty Grant (AFG) Program within the Educational Research and Methods (ERM) Division of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) encourages and honors promising emerging engineering education scholars who have the potential for substantial contributions to the community.
In conjunction with the 2023 ASEE Annual Conference, the AFG program will grant up to four awards to emerging engineering education scholars, which may include: senior graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, junior faculty, staff members, or senior ranking faculty who meet the criteria of an emerging engineering education scholar (refer to the website below for details). Each award will include: 1) connection with a mentor who is a senior scholar in the engineering education community at the ASEE conference, and 2) support for conference travel expenses. AFG recipients are expected to attend the full duration of the annual ASEE conference, including conference sessions in the ERM division, the ERM Business Meeting which will serve as the Annual Community Celebration and Awards Reception this year, and a meet-and-greet with the other AFG recipients and mentors. We also highly encourage AFG recipients to attend at least one workshop.
Please note that given ASEE’s financial issues, the exact level of financial support is still under consideration. And, ERM is currently unable to make awards because all ASEE Division accounts are frozen. ERM is still committed to providing support for conference travel expenses for AFG winners and will provide more details when they become available.
For more details, including how to apply, please refer to https://erm.asee.org/awards/afg/. If you have any questions please contact Aaron Johnson ataaronwj@umich.edu.
