To nominate yourself or a colleague for either role, or if you have questions or comments, please email Julie at martin.4071@osu.edu the subject line “JWM” for more information.

Our vision for JWM is to be a force for nurturing the community of diversity and inclusion scholarship and practice in STEM, and is a place where:

– Authors feel supported in their life’s work and receive fair, constructive, and timely feedback

– Reviewers practice the art of constructive feedback so that each review is a tangible contribution towards creating a constructive and supportive culture for academic publishing in STEM education.

– Associate Editors create a community dedicated to holding our field to a higher standard in how we treat each other and our life’s work. As individuals and as a group, associate editors lead by example in creating a constructive culture for academic publishing.

Aims & Scope: The Journal of Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering publishes original, peer-reviewed papers that report on empirical investigations covering a variety of topics related to achieving inclusion of historically underrepresented and minoritized populations in science and engineering education, academe, and professional practice. These populations include those who identify as people of color, white women, first generation college students, veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people with disabilities, and the intersections of these and other identities. The journal especially welcomes research manuscripts that use theoretical frameworks and methodologies appropriate to the study of underrepresented and marginalized populations and/or use intersectional approaches. The Journal also publishes studies on novel educational innovations that hold promise for transferability to other contexts.

4. CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: Sharing Exemplary Admissions Practices that Promote Diversity in Engineering

The National Academy of Engineering (NAE), with support from the National Science Foundation (EEC- 1840746), invites nominations of admissions programs or policies that have resulted in increased diversity among engineering students.

ERM Announcements, ASEE 2019 Annual Conference UPDATED

As you get ready for ASEE, some ERM sessions, meetings and events to keep in mind.  A few additions so be sure to read all the way through!

Sunday Workshops:

ERM has three workshops on Sunday from 9:00-12:00:

U212T·SUNDAY WORKSHOP: Emotions in Engineering Formation – Constructing a Research Agenda (Room 3 – Sponsor Tech Room, Tampa Convention Center)

Session Description: Free ticketed event
Emotions are ubiquitous in social and learning processes in engineering education. They might bolster or inhibit the cognitive engagement of a student who is learning to perform nodal analysis in a circuits course. Emotions are also at the center of an interaction where a student might feel marginalized in a project team, motivating the behaviors of both the student who is marginalized and the students who are marginalizing. More generally, although emotional constructs undergird many focal points of engineering education research (e.g., identity, marginalization, conceptual change), they are (see full description for more details)

Speakers: Dr. James L. Huff, Dr. Amy Summerville, Dr. Nicola W. Sochacka, Dr. Joachim Walther

U214·SUNDAY WORKSHOP: Applying Research on Effective Learning to Designing Courses and Other Learning Opportunities (Room 35, Tampa Convention Center)

Session Description: Free ticketed event
Students entering an engineering program will have to learn a tremendous amount of new knowledge and skills to succeed. However, students’ ideas about how to learn effectively typically differ considerably from the growing research on effective learning. For example, research has shown that it is far more effective for students to read through a section of text and then work to recall what they learn from the text rather than to highlight the text while reading, take notes on the text while reading, or reread the text. The workshop invites participants to explore the research on learning and cons (see full description for more details)

Speakers: Dr. Sarah E Zappe, Dr. Jeffrey E. Froyd, Dr. Daria A Kotys-Schwartz

U214B·SUNDAY WORKSHOP: Teaching Metacognition – Helping Students Own and Improve Their Learning (Room 34, Tampa Convention Center)

Session Description Free ticketed event
Metacognition is often used as a nebulous term referring to “thinking about thinking,” but this description obscures its function and utility in learning. Broadly, but more specifically, metacognition involves our knowledge and regulation of our thinking processes. While everyone is metacognitively active to one degree or another, we all have room to grow and benefit from improving our metacognitive skills. In particular, many students persist in predominantly using surface approaches to learning, such as rehearsal and memorization, but could benefit greatly from more elaborative and organization (see full description for more details)

Speakers: Dr. Patrick Cunningham, Dr. Holly M Matusovich, Sarah Anne Blackowski, Dr. Rachel McCord, Dr. Cheryl Carrico P.E.

Session Description: Our principal aim is to provide an opportunity for colleagues with established engineering education research & innovation programs to network with one another, and to provide guidance to colleagues who are considering establishing engineering education research & innovation centers and PhD programs.  We will provide a brief program with a reflection on ten years of the EER&I Networking session; a Dean’s (Lance Perez, University of Nebraska-Lincoln) and Head’s (Monica Cox, The Ohio State University) perspective on starting an engineering education department; a perspective from Jenni Case, Head, Department of Engineering Education, Virginia Tech; and an update on the NSF-funded EER Impact study. The majority of the session will be an opportunity to meet and talk with your colleagues.

W374B·Meet the Engineering Education Pioneers Redux

Wednesday, June 19, 2019 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM

Room 10, Tampa Convention Center
Session Description: This session is a follow-up to a special session held at the 2018 Frontiers in Education Conference. These efforts leverage the National Science Foundation-funded Engineering Education Pioneers Project, which documented the stories of more than 40 engineering education pioneers through online profiles. The session will provide an opportunity for early-career scholars and pioneers in engineering education to interact face to face. Pioneers from the Engineering Pioneers Project will be invited and asked to provide sage advice to the attendees. Session attendees will then have the opportunity to meet with the pioneers in a roundtable format, to ask questions, seek additional advice, and get feedback. The intended audience for this panel includes graduate students, junior faculty, and other individuals interested in the engineering education community. Expected benefits include better understanding, increased belonging, networking, and new or enhanced interest in engineering education.

Distinguished Lectures:

W214·DISTINGUISHED LECTURE: “Come Get your People!” Breaking Silences about Equity in Engineering Education Research

(Sponsored by ERM)

Wed. June 19, 2019 9:45 AM to 11:15 AM

Room 15, Tampa Convention Center

Session Description: To understand the persisting gender and race disparities found in bodies of engineering students and professional engineers, engineering education equity researchers have mostly drawn on theories and methods of psychology. But increasingly, and from necessity, they are now engaging theories coming from the humanities and cultural studies. These include gender, race, and class theories, and less commonly, queer, crip, and intersectionality theories. Such disciplinary boundary crossing between engineering education and cultural studies research provides a rich opportunity to rethink the directions (see full description in program)

Speaker: Dr. Alice Pawley

W292·DISTINGUISHED LECTURE: Alternate-Universe ASEE: An Engineering Education Conference Session from a World Where the Majority of Engineers Are Deaf

(Sponsored by ERM and many other divisions)

Wed. June 19, 2019 9:45 AM to 11:15 AM

Room 21, Tampa Convention Center

Session Description: Via the medium of interactive theater, experience a culturally deaf engineering education space conducted primarily in American Sign Language (ASL). What might engineering look like if deafness and signing were the norm – i.e., what different insights or approaches might deaf engineers have taken in developing it as a field? What would it be like if hearing/speech was an exception to be “accommodated” in engineering classrooms built for visual communication?  Participants will experience firsthand how cultural assumptions, communication mediation, and other factors impact the conference for them (see full description in program)

Speakers: Mel Chua, Mr. Ian Smith
