ERM Announcements, October 15, 2024 (and Deadline Extension to 10/22 for ERM Special Sessions, Panels, and Workshops)

Message from the Chair

Hi, All –
It is great to see so many of you at FIE! In the next newsletter, I plan to share a summary of activity from this year’s conference in Washington, DC.
Please check out the ample opportunities for service and employment in the newsletter below. I want to use my space here to announce that we are extending the deadline for you to submit your special session, panel, and workshop proposals to the ERM division. The new deadline is 11:59 pm PST on Tuesday, October 22. After reading the call for papers/proposals, use this form to submit your proposal.
Let me use this space to demystify this process a bit. I will do this in the form of what I imagine are frequently asked questions:
What are special sessions and panels? How are they different? 
 
Special sessions and panels are alike in that they are envisioned as 90-minute sessions as part of the conference program. Panels primarily involve speakers who will share their perspectives around a certain topic. Special sessions involve a coordinated set of interactive activities. Submitters should be aware that no publication is associated with these sessions.
ASEE emailed me that Workshop Proposals are due on November 14. Why are you making these due on October 22?
 
Any individual may propose a workshop directly to ASEE provided that they are willing to cover a $150 fee. These proposals submitted on November 14 will be evaluated by upper-level leadership. We are soliciting proposals for workshops that will be directly named as part of ERM’s program. This means that the ERM division will cover the $150 fee for the 1-2 workshops that are selected as aligning well with the goals of our division. Our program chairs and ERM directors need time to review the proposals, select those who will represent ERM, and communicate back to submitters—all before the ASEE deadline of November 14.
Why am I submitting these on a Google Form rather than through ASEE?
 
For now, we have no way of getting non-archived material through Nemo (ASEE’s submission portal). Therefore, we are using a Google Form so that ERM volunteers may evaluate your proposals to determine those those that align strongly with the ERM division.

James Huff, Ph.D.

General Announcements
  1. NSF UPDATES: Updates from the NSF EEC Engineering Education Program Cluster
 
In its effort to serve the engineering education research community, the EEC (Engineering Education and Centers) division of the National Science Foundation, through its engineering education research cluster (RFE, RIEF, RED, and CAREER programs) offers a number of opportunities to learn about proposal submission, current funding opportunities, post-award management, and other matters of concern to the research community.  This message summarizes some of these opportunities:
Regular “office hours”: starting October 15, 2024, program officer Alice Pawley will host virtual office hours most Tuesdays from 3-4 pm ET.  Current and prospective PIs are welcome to join in to ask questions about upcoming solicitations, their funding ideas, award management, or other matters of concern.  Registration is required here. The registration link will be also available from the EEC website soon.
Funding opportunity webinars: We will offer webinars about upcoming funding opportunities in EEC this fall and spring.  We have scheduled the following webinars, most which require registration:
Ethical and Responsible Research (ER2) – new solicitation released, and due Jan 23, 2025.  Twice-monthly office hours are listed on the solicitation website.
Dear Colleague Letters (DCLs): The National Science Foundation has a number of Dear Colleague Letters of interest to this community.  DLCs are not new funding opportunities, usually, but instead indicate a particular interest in proposals to be submitted through existing funding opportunities.  You indicate your proposal’s relationship to a DCL in the title, as described in each letter. DCLs are considered current until they are taken away.  In particular, please note:
NSF 24-028: “NSF-Lemelson Initiative on Environmental and Social Sustainability in Engineering Education” soliciting proposals focusing on environmental and social sustainability to the RFE funding opportunity.
NSF 24-039: “Funding opportunities for Engineering Research in Artificial Intelligence” which can also be applied to EEC-engineering education-related funding opportunities (RFE, RIEF).
Proposal reviews: To volunteer to review on a panel, please be sure to register yourself at research.gov, and email us a copy of your most recent CV.

NETI-1, Course Design and Student Engagement, will be offered January 6-8 2025, 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 3000 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 NETI-1, Course Design and Student Engagement 
NETI-2, Student Teams & Advanced Student Engagement will be offered January 3-4, 2025 at the University of San Diego. Drs. Susan Lord, Matt Ohland, and Michael Prince will lead this advanced companion workshop to NETI-1. NETI-2 is designed for engineering and other STEM instructors who are already familiar with the topics of NETI-1 and are looking for more advanced active learning strategies to engage students at a higher level. The first half of the workshop focuses on cooperative learning and teamwork including how to form, manage, and assess student teams. The second half of the workshop prepares faculty to adopt inquiry-based instruction and problem-based learning. Participants are introduced to a range of inquiry-based teaching methods and given the time and support needed to tailor this approach to their own classes. The registration fee is $1100 per participant, which covers organization and presentation costs, participant notebooks, lunches, and breaks. There is a discount for bringing larger teams from the same institution. Travel expenses, including breakfasts and dinners, are not included.
