3. ERM ANNOUNCEMENT: ERM Division Faculty Showcase

ERM has always been diverse community with a variety of research interests and goals. As a division, we have worked over 40 years to improve engineering education by disseminating knowledge of learning and teaching, encouraging efforts to improve instruction, and enhancing the status of university teaching. Underneath these goals, we believe the people in and around the community have been the most important part of making ERM what it is. As such, we believe we should share more of our community with the outside world.

What we are looking for: We are seeking faculty and research groups who wish to contribute small, unedited, 60-second videos to a community of practice. These videos will be edited, displayed, and shared, within the ERM community and beyond on a future Youtube page or other medium. This opportunity to share is open to any ERM member, in any faculty or staff position, who wish to share innovative research methods and teaching practices they use related to engineering education.

Instructions: First, create your video! Videos should be brief and no more than 60 seconds; contain no background music, transitions, or overlaid text; be stable (not shaky); and be of medium to high-quality in resolution and audio quality (a video camera is preferred but a newer phone or laptop camera will work just fine). Tell us a bit about yourself, your research group (optional) and what you do. Along with your video, please provide the following information: name(s) of those in the video, email address, social media handles (optional), academic or professional affiliations/positions, and a short bio of yourself that describes you and your research. Then, share video clip(s) and other requested information with ERM Director-at-Large’s Justin Major (major5@purdue.edu) and Cory Brozina (scbrozina@ysu.edu) by no later than March 18th. Videos that are too large to email can be uploaded and shared from from cloud-based platforms such as Google Drive or Dropbox, or sent by physical mail (email for the address). Questions about this opportunity should be sent to Justin and Cory.

We are seeking volunteers to review applications for this year’s ERM Apprentice Faculty Grant (AFG) program. The commitment requires reviewing 3 application packages, which will take approximately 30 minutes each. You will be provided specific review criteria and your responses will be collected online. Past award winners and senior engineering education researchers are particularly encouraged to help. With thanks from your ERM AFG committee co-chairs, Jennifer Bekki and Courtney Faber. If you have any questions please contact, Courtney Faber (cfaber2@utk.edu) or Jennifer Bekki (jennifer.bekki@asu.edu). To sign up to be a reviewer, please complete this form by February 16th.

17. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Study on Student’s Cognitive Engagement

A team of researchers led by Dr. Shane Brown at Oregon State University is seeking to better understand the ways in which course context impacts student’s cognitive engagement. The title of the study is Influence of Classroom Context on Student Cognitive Engagement Collaborative Research. We have a survey instrument to address both in-class and out-of-class engagement of students in about 30 questions. The survey should only take about 10 minutes to complete. We intend to correlate the results of this survey with a survey you (the instructor) would complete. By you providing us information on the opportunities you generate for your students to engage, and students providing us information on the way they choose to engage, we can better understand the influence instructors have on their students’ engagement.

Are you interested in participating in this study? We would be able to provide you with feedback related specifically to your course. If so, could you provide me the course name and number so we can customize the survey for your class? Also, for our records, could you let me know the approximate number of students enrolled?

Once you have agreed to participate, you will be asked to complete a short (10 minute) survey targeted at understanding the ways in which you ask students to engage in your course. You will also be provided a link to the student survey that we request that you post to your course’s Canvas site.

If you provide extra credit to students for participating in the survey you will need to provide an equal weighted alternative for students who do not wish to participate in the study. For more information about this study, please contact the principal investigator, Dr. Shane Brown, by phone at 541-737-1759 or email at Shane.Brown@oregonstate.edu.

2. ERM ANNOUNCEMENT: 2019 Apprentice Faculty Grant Program Accepting Applications until February 15

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 new researchers who have the potential for substantial contributions to engineering education. In conjunction with the 2019 ASEE Annual Conference, the AFG program will grant up to four awards to graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, junior faculty, staff members, or senior ranking faculty who are transitioning into engineering education research. Each award will include: 1) getting paired with a mentor who is a senior researcher in the engineering education community and 2) some support for conference travel expenses (exact level of financial support is still under consideration, but will not exceed $500). AFG recipients are expected to attend the full duration of the annual ASEE conference, including two ERM events, and are highly encouraged to attend at least one workshop. For more details, including how to apply, see https://erm.asee.org/conferences/afg/. Please feel free to contact Jennifer Bekki <jennifer.bekki@asu.edu> or Courtney Faber < cfaber2@utk.edu>) with questions.
