  1. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Research in Engineering Education Symposium will be in El Paso TX from Jan 13-16 2025

 

REES is the signature conference of the REEN (https://reen.co/) and was founded in 2007 in Hawaii. Ever since the conference traveled the world and will be back in North America after nearly 20 years.

The conference is jointly organized by the UTEP College of Education (Drs. Johannes Strobel, Maartje Van den Bogaard and Diane Golding) and the College of Engineering (Dr. Peter Golding). UTEP is a leading Hispanic serving institution (84% for our students are Latine) and the only R1 institution in the country with an 100% acceptance rate.

The conference will take place from January 13 to 16, 2025. The theme of the conference is: Servingness as Bridging Research and Practice in Engineering Education. The website and Abstract management system will open in late January 2024.

– The first day of the conference will be organized as a Doctoral Symposium and a parallel event for engineering faculty moving into the space of engineering education research. Both pre-events will be advertised with an open call to participate.

– The full conference starts then on January 14 and goes to half-day January 16.

– We are planning cultural events reflecting our location as a borderland community.

– Program officers from NSF’s Engineering Education will be present during the conference and we are actively pursuing conference funding from NSF.

– Best papers of the conference will be invited for a special issue of a new journal called Bridging Educational Research and Practice: An Interdisciplinary Journal [more to come].

In addition, we are looking for senior faculty who are interested in serving as advisors for the doctoral symposium and event for engineering faculty moving into EER to provide advice and mentorship, and we are looking for reviewers. Anybody interested in serving as reviewers, senior advisor can provide their information through the following google form: https://forms.gle/JS4H8bDdQoLyTVzy7

For more information, please contact Dr. Maartje Van den Bogaard at mvdbogaard@utep.edu

 

  1. CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: Recruiting Graduate Students to Develop Sociotechnical Modules for the Introduction to Circuits Course

 

Were you bored and uninspired with the purely technical nature of your Introduction to Circuits course? Are you a graduate student interested in bringing sociotechnical issues into electrical engineering? Do you see yourself teaching circuits in the future but wanting your course to be “different”? Do you have creative ideas for connecting circuits to real world social issues? If so, please consider applying for our Sociotechnical Electrical Engineering Stars (SEES) Cohort of graduate students to learn about and design sociotechnical modules for circuits.

We (Drs. Susan Lord at the University of San Diego and Cindy Finelli at the University of Michigan) were awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to (1) create a series of sociotechnical modules for the Introduction to Circuits course, (2) prepare detailed teaching guides for each module to make it easy for instructors to integrate them into their courses, and (3) assess the impact of the modules on students’ sociotechnical knowledge and sense of social responsibility. To date, we have developed and piloted one module about conflict minerals tied to capacitors and another about repurposing electric vehicle batteries tied to the voltage divider.

We are currently recruiting a diverse group of at least four engineering graduate students, each having a strong connection to electrical engineering, who will join our SEES Cohort to create and test additional sociotechnical modules during Summer 2024. Each member of the SEES Cohort will receive a $2400 stipend for their participation.

The SEES Cohort will begin their work with a two-day, all-expenses-paid, in-person SEES Summit on May 23-24, 2024 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. During the summit, students will discuss the rationale behind addressing social and technical material in circuits, learn about effective course design, and brainstorm topics for sociotechnical modules. Then, over the following three months, members of the SEES Cohort will devote approximately eight hours each week, through a combination of individual and collaborative work, as they develop and refine sociotechnical modules. Finally, during the week of August 19, 2024, we will hold a one-day virtual SEES Showcase (date to be determined) for the cohort to share and discuss the developed modules.

Following the SEES Showcase, members of the cohort may continue to engage in this project in multiple ways. For instance, they could present their work at the ASEE 2025 Annual Conference (we have additional funding to support conference travel for interested members of the cohort) or they could assist with launching the modules and helping faculty learn how to implement them.

To apply for the SEES Cohort, please complete this application form which asks about your interest in the project, your career goals, your past education and experience with the Introduction to Circuits course, your availability, and demographics. We aim to recruit a diverse group of applicants with a strong connection to electrical engineering who are interested in the goals of our project and available to engage throughout Summer 2024. Applications are due by January 15, 2024 with decisions announced by February 28, 2024.

Thank you for considering this opportunity, and please share with others! If you have any questions, please contact Susan Lord slord@sandiego.edu or Cindy Finelli cfinelli@umich.edu

  1. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: National Effective Teaching Institute

 

NETI-1, Course Design and Student Engagement, will be offered January 3-5, 2024, at the University of San Diego. Drs. Susan Lord, Matt Ohland, and Michael Prince will lead the long-standing foundational NETI-1 workshop, which has been offered since 1991. Previous NETI programs have reached over 2900 participants from more than 365 different schools. Our past participant evaluations have been overwhelmingly positive . The workshop features material for relatively new faculty members and other material designed to equip experienced faculty members to become teaching leaders and mentors on their campuses. Participants will include up to 60 faculty members from all branches of engineering, engineering technology, and other STEM areas. The registration fee is $1275 per participant, which covers organization and presentation costs, participant notebooks, lunches, and breaks. Participants also receive a copy of Felder & Brent’s Teaching and Learning STEM: A Practical Guide and the option of touring the Shiley-Marcos School of Engineering. There is a discount for bringing larger teams from the same institution. Travel expenses, including breakfasts and dinners, are not included. Further details about the workshop program and a link to register can be found at https://www.neti-workshop.org/event/neti-1-course-design-and-student-engagement-1-2024/.

 

  1. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: [Deadline Extension to 12/1] Special Issue of Emotions in Engineering Education –European Journal of Engineering Education

 

This special issue of the European Journal of Engineering Education aims to strengthen the emerging research field focusing on emotions in engineering education by showcasing a rich collection of novel empirical research on emotions in engineering education. This call is primarily directed at empirical and methodological articles that can broaden the scope of research on emotions in engineering education beyond the currently dominant topics of socio-emotional competences, empathy, anxiety, and academic emotions (unless they are connected to less dominant topics in novel ways). Articles describing studies that employ in-depth qualitative, physiological, and/or mixed-methods approaches will be prioritized. Theoretical articles may also be considered if they apply or develop currently under-represented theoretical perspectives (e.g., sociological or critical theories of emotion). The study context is engineering education at any level, including higher (tertiary) education, K-12, informal education, and work-bases education.

For this special issue, we welcome research on a wide range of topics, but the following ones are of particular interest, given they focus on emotions in engineering education: cognitive processes, international and cultural perspectives, socialization and discourses, well-being, ethics and morality, decision-making and action, identity and sense of belonging, sustainability and wicked problems, novel methodological or theoretical approaches, novel ways of representing data or research findings.

Submission process:
