ERM Announcements, April 1, 2023

Posted on by

Dear ERM members,

As mentioned in the last announcements, the call for ERM Chair and two Director nominations was just sent out. Please consider nominating yourself or a colleague for these important roles. If you do have questions about the roles or positions, please feel free to reach out to me (afg64@cornell.edu) or one of our current Directors.

I’d also like to highlight the 2023 PEER Collaborative Unconference. This event is for early career folks (I started attending the summer before I started my tenure-track position) who are primarily evaluated on their engineering education work, and it happens immediately after the ASEE Annual Conference. I learned so much from near-peer mentoring and developed collaborations and networks that have been so valuable to my growth and development as a scholar. There’s a whole history of the Collaborative’s formation if you want to learn more:             https://www.doi.org/10.18260/1-2–23170.

I’ve also had a few folks ask about our Annual Community Celebration and Awards Reception (ACCAR). We are having our awards reception as a part of the ERM business meeting, so mark your calendars for that event for a time to network and celebrate our awardees. I’ll also be passing the hat (an ERM tradition) to our next Chair during that time. This decision was made because of our previous discussions about the expense of ERM event tickets and how high prices have been a barrier for some of our members to participate. With our BASS account frozen, all events have to be revenue neutral, and the cost of even a simple event would be a high ticket price (likely without a significant amount of refreshments). We are working with our incoming Vice Chairs for ASEE Programs, Alejandra Magana and Bruce Carroll, on planning meaningful time to be together and enjoy our community.

We will likely have our BASS account funds returned in a timeframe longer than one year from now as ASEE regains its financial solvency. In the shorter term, funds collected after October 1, 2022, are available. Dues paid to divisions are being tracked but will not be distributed until sometime in the future. So, if there are donations directly to ERM, sponsorships, or other fund sources like the IEEE FIE conference (an encouragement now to consider participating as an overage from this event would mean money back to ERM), we will be able to use those funds in the future. I welcome any creative ideas to support revenue generation in the shorter term until BASS account funds are returned.

All my best,

Allison

2023 FYEE Program Co-Chairs

  1. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: IEEE ETHICS-2023: Ethics in the Global Innovation Helix

18-20 May 2023, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana, USA

IEEE ETHICS-2023 will draw together the global community of technology and ethics practitioners and theoreticians from industry, academia, government, and civil society. Issues will be explored from industry, scientific and societal perspectives, in a global and multicultural manner. ETHICS-2023 is a conference of the IEEE Society on Social Implications of Technology (SSIT) (series originally launched in 2014). ETHICS-2023 is co-sponsored and hosted by the National Institute for Engineering Ethics in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University, a leading land grant university with top-ranked engineering, technology, and computing programs, and an expansive portfolio of sponsored research and engagements in the ethics and policy realms. The triple helix model of innovation was introduced in the 1990s, developed to theorize and understand interactions between academia, industry, and government. Since then, scholars have expanded it to include additional strands or sectors, including society or the public (quadruple helix) and the natural environment (quintuple helix). The conference theme, “Ethics in the Global Innovation Helix,” underscores questions about the role and place of ethics and related concerns (e.g., social responsibility, social justice, regulatory compliance, etc.) in interactions between these strands, especially in ongoing processes of technology innovation, diffusion, evolution, and maintenance.

  1. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: 2023 PEER Collaborative National Workshop and Unconference

 

Save the Date: Wednesday, June 28 (dinner) and Thursday, June 29 (unconference day), 2023

Are you a faculty (new hire, pre-tenure, mid-career tenured faculty), postdoc, or staff member who is primarily evaluated on your engineering education work? The PEER Collaborative is a growing community of people in similar situations who mentor and support each other in their engineering education research positions.

Each year, academic members who are primarily evaluated on engineering education research have been meeting to talk through our needs together in our emerging research-based discipline of engineering education. There are too few senior faculty with expertise in engineering education research, and those colleagues are either too sought after or otherwise engaged to be able to spend much time with early career faculty. An annual workshop and unconference hosted immediately after ASEE has helped us to meet our own needs through peer and near-peer mentoring. The goals of the workshop are to 1. develop, support, and augment networks and working relationships and 2. support and be supported by peers near your same career level on different aspects of work and personal life.

Please join us for this year’s dinner and unconference!

Tentative PEER 2023 Schedule:

  • Wednesday, 6:30pm-8:00 pm: Dinner (at nearby restaurant)
  • Thursday, 9:00am-5:00 pm: Unconference (with lunch break)

Come to as many or as few events as you are able. Location is TBD but near the Baltimore Conference Center.

Please register at our website: https://sites.google.com/view/peer-collaborative. Please direct any questions to Corey Bowen at cbowen5@calstatela.edu.
