ERM Announcements, September 3, 2024

Posted on by
Hello, ERM Community –
I am excited to share exciting opportunities for our community below. Before, I get to the newsletter, I wanted to begin by flagging your attention to the updated call for papers (CFP) for the ERM Program in the 2025 ASEE Conference (linked here). I am highly grateful to the contributions of Dr. Catherine Berdanier and this years program co-chairs, Drs. Jessica Deter and Cassandra McCall, for their thoughtful initiative with the changes to the Call for Papers. I am also grateful to the ERM executive board for their feedback and approval of this proposal.
I refer to Dr. Deters’s email that she sent last week about the call for papers, but I quote the changes to this year’s document:
  • General streamlining to reduce redundancy.
  • Introduction of a new paper type, research briefs, which is intended to share summaries of fully completed works.
  • Reduction of maximum page lengths to 1) respond to the faster timeline by ASEE to produce the conference paper, 2) support authors in using papers as a generative step toward journal publication, and 3) reduce the overall labor invested by reviewers and program chairs in reviewing papers.
  • Enforcement of maximum page lengths at the Draft stage as well as the Final Paper stage . Papers exceeding the page limit will be rejected. Appendices and References do not count towards page limits.
  • Reduction of content required for ERM special sessions and workshops. In the past, we required significantly more than what ASEE required (5 pages for special sessions and 7 pages for workshops). We have reduced the proposal length (2 pages for special sessions and 3 pages for workshops) to offer a more accessible pathway to proposing these sessions.
  • Addition of paper templates for each paper length (full paper, research brief, and work in progress). Paper templates are linked in the CFP.
These changes have the potential to simultaneously increase the quality of the ERM conference program while reducing the labor placed on authors, reviewers, and program chairs. The deadline for abstracts is coming soon—October 1. Please consider presenting your work in the ERM Division!

For questions, please contact Samantha Brunhaver (samantha.brunhaver@asu.edu) and Cheryl Bodnar (bodnar@rowan.edu).
  1. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Clive L. Dym Mudd Design Workshop XIV: Engineering Design Education and Artificial Intelligence: Bridging Creativity and Technology for Future Innovators
 
  1. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Study on how facilitating undergraduate research impacts tenured/tenure-track faculty
 
Drs. Courtney Faber (University at Buffalo) and Marian Kennedy (Clemson University) are conducting a study to investigate the impact of facilitating undergraduate research experiences on faculty. You are invited to participate in a 15-minute online survey if you are a tenured/tenure-track faculty member and have facilitated at least one undergraduate research experience in the last three years. This research experience can include any experience from having one undergraduate student conduct research in your group to facilitating an undergraduate research program. The results of this study will be used to begin understanding what activities are considered high impact practices and to inform future research programs.
We would greatly appreciate your participation, and you can access the survey following this link:https://clemson.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_aeFqRZ6nOsPkQDk
The survey will be open from August 12th, 2024 to September 18th, 2024.

ERM Updated Call for Papers and Deadlines for ASEE Annual Conference, August 29, 2014

Posted on by
Dear All,
I hope that all of you are having a pleasant transition out of summer mode and back into the semester! Cassandra McCall and I are excited to serve as the ERM Program Chairs for the 2025 ASEE Annual Conference. We first want to thank the efforts of the outgoing ERM Program Chairs, Bruce Carroll and Alejandra Magana. We also want to thank Catherine Berdanier who, in her ERM Director Role, has led significant revisions to the ERM Call for Papers (CFP) in order to improve the process for authors, reviewers, and readers.
As our first official act as Program Chairs, we wanted to share some key publishing dates and changes made to the recently published ERM CFP (https://nemo.asee.org/uploads_public/conferences/session_owner/call_for_papers_file/0000/3102/ERM_2025_CallforPapers_Final.pdf). Please read the CFP carefully before submitting abstracts and drafts. Major changes include:
  • General streamlining to reduce redundancy.
  • Introduction of a new paper type, research briefs, which is intended to share summaries of fully completed works.
  • Reduction of maximum page lengths to 1) respond to the faster timeline by ASEE to produce the conference paper, 2) support authors in using papers as a generative step toward journal publication, and 3) reduce the overall labor invested by reviewers and program chairs in reviewing papers.
  • Enforcement of maximum page lengths at the Draft stage as well as the Final Paper stage. Papers exceeding the page limit will be rejected. Appendices and References do not count towards page limits.
  • Reduction of content required for ERM special sessions and workshops. In the past, we required significantly more than what ASEE required (5 pages for special sessions and 7 pages for workshops). We have reduced the proposal length (2 pages for special sessions and 3 pages for workshops) to offer a more accessible pathway to proposing these sessions.
  • Addition of paper templates for each paper length (full paper, research brief, and work in progress). Paper templates are linked in the CFP.
The timeline is set and enforced by ASEE in the NEMO paper system, and all dates are posted on the conference website. ASEE intends for there to be no deadline extensions during this year’s paper submission process. Please add these dates to your calendars:
  • Abstracts are due on October 1, 2024 (yes – this is early!) and abstract submissions will open on September 1. Please start preparing your abstracts over this next month – we are excited to receive your submissions!
  • Special session and workshop proposals are due on October 15, 2024, in order to give the ERM leadership team enough time to review proposals. Proposals must be submitted via the Google Form linked in the CFP.
  • Drafts are due January 15, 2025 – We recognize that this deadline is earlier than past years and may still be winter break for some of us! We do not have control over these deadlines, and encourage everyone to please plan ahead!
We will be in touch throughout the process. We are looking forward to a fantastic program in Montreal!
Best,
Jessica Deters and Cassandra McCall
