ASEE recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of engineering educators with several national-level awards each year. The Education & Research Methods (ERM) Division currently has as a strategic goal to increase the number of ERM members who are nominated for and potentially win these awards. The nominations period for awards to be presented at the 2020 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition (June 21-24) in Montreal, Quebec, Canada is now open through January 15, 2020. Please consider nominating a fellow ERM member who you think deserves recognition, or consider nominating yourself!!
The ASEE awards nomination form can be accessed by logging in at www.asee.org, clicking on “Award Nominations” and choosing “2020 ASEE Awards.” Brief synopses of the awards presented at ASEE 2020 are given below. More information can also be found at the ASEE awards webpage: https://www.asee.org/member-resources/awards/full-list-of-awards/national-awards/
The ERM Directors can assist with coordinating nominations, e.g., putting people who would like to nominate the same individuals in touch, helping recruit potential letter writers, or sharing lists of previous ERM award winners. Please feel free to help out if you plan to nominate a fellow ERM member or if you plan to self-nominate – we would love to help out with the process!
Lastly, we also encourage you to check out the awards being offered by specific divisions with ASEE here. The ERM Division itself makes several awards each year, including the ASEE ERM Apprentice Faculty Grant. More information is available on the ERM website.
Best wishes,
The ERM Director Team
