Dear ERM members,

Happy December! It’s one of my favorite and most despised times of the year. In that spirit, I’m just sending a short note this week. I love the upcoming winter holidays, but I also feel the stress of the end of the term and the downhill slide from Thanksgiving break to winter break. I’m sending encouragement and well wishes for a solid finish for everyone.

All my best,

Allison

Third call for extended abstracts and workshop proposals for the 9th International Research Symposium on PBL (IRSPBL23) under the theme: Transforming Engineering Education 2023 (TEE 2023). The due date for submitting extended abstracts is December 5, 2022 (previously November 14).

Addressing global challenges requires complex problem-solving, systems thinking, and interdisciplinary collaboration. How can we transform engineering education so that students develop these important skills? What learnings can be shared by higher education institutions that have embarked on educational transformation processes? What do other stakeholders in higher education, industry, and society, have to say about these efforts? These, and other questions will be discussed in a highly interactive, in-person format at the Transforming Engineering Education 2023 conference.

More details at https://www.tee2023.mit.edu/. For inquiries, email info.tee2023@mit.edu.

TEE 2023 will take place over June 21-23, 2023, in two locations: at the main campus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, and at the Harvard Science and Engineering Complex in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.  The symposium is being convened by MIT School of Engineering and its New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) program, the Harvard John A.

3. CALL FOR PAPERS: Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop XIII: Collaborations in Student Design Experiences

 

The Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop XIII will be held at Harvey Mudd College June 8-10, 2023. The workshop theme is Design Education & Collaborations in Student Design Experiences: Cross-disciplinary, Cross-institutional, Community, and Industry Partnerships.

Two-page abstracts to be submitted by January 1, 2023

Authors notified of acceptance by February 1, 2023

Presenting author registration deadline March 1, 2023

Final papers to be submitted by April 1, 2023

Workshop to be held June 8-10, 2023

Call for Papers:  https://www.designsociety.org/1264/Call+for+Papers+-++Collaborations+In+Student+Design+Experiences%3A+Cross-Disciplinary%2C+Cross-Institutional%2C+Community%2C+And+Industry+Partnerships

Abstracts should be submitted electronically to:  https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/MDW2023/ Please note that new users will need to create an account on CMT.

Vision: Gather between fifty and seventy-five engineers, designers, and educators to discuss and share approaches for building bridges, creating connections, and removing obstacles to cross-disciplinary, inter-institutional, community and industry partnerships in design education. We approach this goal believing that the best partnerships share perspectives, domain knowledge, values, and skill sets that compliment those of their other members in service to their mission. Within engineering design education, the opportunity to expose students to perspectives and paradigms that differ or conflict with their training is sometimes limited and often resisted. Cultivating methods to productively engage students beyond classrooms, departments, and universities that increase perspective heterodoxy and improve design approaches significantly broadens the student design experience beyond what may be a narrowly focused detailed design exercise. Helping students manage a broad set of perspectives and approaches is an important aspect of these partnerships.

Mission: We will identify the best practices, opportunities, and challenges broadly associated with cooperative partnerships and expanding design perspectives. We will discuss ways that educators, students, courses, and curricula can be positioned and developed to serve partners in engineering design education.

Experience: Workshop sessions are initiated by brief summary or position statements from panelists followed by an open discussion. A wrap-up session will collect the most important outputs for improving engineering design education for dissemination to the community. Participants will receive a preliminary proceedings containing near-final manuscripts of presented papers.

Participants are invited to further refine their work and submit to peer review for publication in a Special Issue of the International Journal of Engineering Education containing the resulting proceedings of the Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop XIII. In this case, authors will be requested to distinguish their workshop submission as scholarly research, position papers, or provocative observations so that they may be appropriately included in the IJEE Special Issue or elsewhere as appropriate.

Dear ERM members,

We have a light dusting of snow on the ground here in West Lafayette. It looks a little like a sprinkle of powdered sugar over everything. While I was a little unsure about the cold weather when I moved to the Midwest from the Southeast, I have learned to love the four seasons and the differences each bring (although I do admit that I start to dream of tropical vacations in early March).

I am looking for a volunteer for the ASEE Program Chair role for 2024. Due to the current ASEE financial situation, we will not be asking this person to plan the Annual Community Celebration & Awards Reception for the 2023 ASEE Annual Conference. We will combine our recognition of awardees with our Business Meeting. The individual can shadow the current Chairs this year to learn the NEMO system. This individual will also select our Distinguished Speaker for the 2025 ASEE Annual Conference and Exhibition. Please let me know if you are interested in this very important role for ERM.

I hope all of you are doing well! It was great to see some of you this week at the AIChE meeting!

All my best,

Allison

Position Announcements

 

1. POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT:Assistant Professors of Engineering Pathways – University of Oklahoma

 

The Gallogly College of Engineering is rapidly growing with a strategic focus on increasing the number of engineering graduates and increasing our research portfolio. Our plan for student body growth is built around new programs that support and educate our student body in meaningful ways to recognize and encourage new ways of thinking, understanding and experiencing.

We have recently launched a new Engineering Pathways Program and are seeking three additional teaching-focused faculty members who are passionate about teaching and mentoring students. These faculty will be instrumental in designing and implementing our student-centered plan for growth and will be working collaboratively with each other, with our Gallogly Student Affairs Team, and with faculty and staff across the college.

We are seeking candidates aligned with two particular areas of expertise:
