Posted on October 16, 2023 by mlande

Hello, ERM Colleagues –

We have an immense range of opportunities in this newsletter–please check them out! Also, don’t forget the opportunities from prior newsletters, which you can find archived here.

The 2023 IEEE ASEE Frontiers in Education Conference is starting this week. The ERM division is one of three sponsors for this conference, and I look forward to seeing many of you in College Station, TX. Thank you to our volunteers (Saira Anwar, Rachel Kajfez, Homero Murzi, P.K. Imbrie, Rebecca Reck, Jean Mohammadi-Aragh, Racheida Lewis) who have served in various leadership and service roles to make this conference happen! For those of you present at the conference, we will have the ERM Business Meeting at 2:20 – 3:30 pm CT on Friday (10/20) in the Traditions Room. While we will be unable to provide a synchronous remote participation option, I will follow up here in the next newsletter with the opportunity to contribute to any discussion points from the meeting. I will send a consent agenda by Wednesday (10/18) morning.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: University of Michigan Engineering Education Research Virtual Open House: 10/30/23, 2:00 – 4:00 pm ET

We are excited to invite all interested students to attend an open house to learn about the UM’s graduate program in Engineering Education Research (EER). UM’s EER program represents a unique, interdisciplinary model: EER Ph.D. students (who receive a full, 5-year funding package) are part of a college-wide program, while several tenure-line EER faculty are embedded within the traditional engineering departments. The integrated nature of the program allows the EER faculty and their research groups to be well-integrated with the traditional engineering disciplines, and it provides students a better opportunity to engage in innovative research and make scholarly contributions to the engineering education community. More information about the program is available at our EER website.

We will be hosting a Virtual Open House on Monday, October 30, 2023 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm ET. Participants will learn about the EER graduate program, meet faculty and graduate students, and hear about the UM campus and Ann Arbor. Attendees will also be eligible for an application fee waiver.

Please register to attend at this open house registration site and please forward this link to any friends who may be interested. Email us for more information at eerprogram@umich.edu
