  1. POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: McCormick Teaching Excellence Institute Associate Director at Cornell University
 
The College of Engineering and Bowers College of Computing and Information Science at Cornell University invite applications for an Associate Director for the McCormick Teaching Excellence Institute (MTEI, https://mtei.engineering.cornell.edu/). MTEI’s mission is collaborative, developing teaching excellence in a time-efficient manner for faculty. The Associate Director will be a non-tenure track faculty member at the rank of Lecturer/Senior Lecturer, depending on experience and qualifications. Depending on the successful candidate’s background, there is a possibility of working with an engineering or Bowers CIS department to occasionally teach or co-teach a course. The position has the flexibility to be either an academic year (9-month) or full year (12-month) appointment with an initial appointment of 3 to 5 years, renewable.
MTEI currently employs a full-time Director, an Administrative Assistant, and several Faculty Teaching Fellows who have 10% appointments in MTEI (while full-time teaching in departments). In addition, MTEI-affiliated Faculty Research Fellows are fully embedded in engineering departments as tenure-track faculty with research specialization in engineering education topics.
The Associate Director will contribute to MTEI programs and work with faculty on improving and innovating in teaching across the departments in both colleges. Tasks will include a mix of writing teaching tips, leading workshops, observing classes and providing pointers to faculty, reviewing student course feedback to support course improvements, and working with faculty on course design or redesign efforts. MTEI especially works with new faculty to ensure they have a strong start to teaching. The Associate Director and the instructors who will use MTEI as a resource will be teaching a highly diverse student population, so inclusive teaching is essential.
The successful candidate must have the following qualifications:
– PhD in engineering or computer science, information sciences, statistics, or a closely related field such as physics, math, chemistry, or engineering education
– 3 years teaching experience at the college level as a full course instructor
– A knowledge base of STEM Education Research and resulting best practices
– Demonstrated use of research-informed practices
– Strong communication skills in English

  1. POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: Postdoctoral Scholar, Department of Engineering Education, The Ohio State University
 
The post-doctoral research associate position is supported by the National Science Foundation funded project,‘Trust but Verify: The Use of Intuition in Problem Solving’ (EEC-2325524). The project is led by a multi-institutional team that includes scholars from Bucknell University (Dr. Elif Miskioğlu), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott (Dr. Kaela Martin), and The Ohio State University (Dr. Adam Carberry). The position is physically located at Ohio State with remote options possible depending on location (in-person preferred).
The project’s primary goal is to examine the application of intuition by engineering practitioners to generate knowledge that promotes professional formation and development of a stronger engineering workforce using cognitive task analysis (CTA) to elicit expert knowledge. Candidates will be responsible for collaborating with the investigator team, conducting CTA research, writing manuscripts, presenting on and off campus, and mentoring undergraduate research assistants. An adaptable mentoring plan has been devised by the team to support the career and professional aspirations of the identified post-doc.

Dear ERM Community,

I look forward to seeing many of you one week in Portland at the 2024 ASEE Conference next week! Before you scroll to read about the opportunities for involvement and employment in the engineering education community, I wanted to amplify information about the ERM program at ASEE. My appreciation to Vice Chairs for ERM Programs: Dr. Bruce Carroll and Alejandra Magana. Further, thank you to Micah Lande for collating the program into an accessible way to navigate the conference. Find resources to support your ERM experience at ASEE 2024 summarized here:

http://sites.asee.org/erm/asee-2024/

This includes a printable ERM Schedule and Events:

Note that the Distinguished Lecture this year is Dr. Cynthia J. Atman of the University of Washington. Co-sponsored with DEED, it is scheduled for Monday, June 24 from 11am-12:30pm in Oregon Ballroom 203. The talk title is Design Signatures: A Journey from Design Expertise to Design Awareness. Talk flyer: https://erm.asee.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/21/2024/06/Cindy-Atman-ERM-Distinguished-Lecture-2024.pdf.

The ERM Business Meeting & Annual Community Celebration & Awards Reception is Tuesday 9:15am–10:45am in Oregon Ballroom 204. It is our opportunity to recognize and award the many commendable contributions across our division.

Also note the Sunday Workshop (1:00 – 3:30 pm), Uplifting the Comunidad: A Focus on Latin* Students in Engineering Education at Today’s Colleges and Universities. This workshop, facilitated by an impressive panel of 16 speakers and moderated by Dr. Sarah Roriguez, is free to attend, but you will need to reserve a ticket in advance. Claim yours through the ASEE registration site, linked above.

Further, we also have multiple exciting special sessions beyond the expansive technical program of more than 180 papers. I want to draw attention to an ERM mainstay: Meet the Engineering Education Pioneers. In this special session, early-career scholars and pioneers in engineering education have an opportunity to interact face-to-face. Session attendees will meet with pioneers in a roundtable format to ask questions, seek advice, and get feedback. The intended audience for this panel includes graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and others interested in the engineering-education community.

Finally, please note that there will be no newsletter on July 1. The next issue after this one will be on July 15.

Hope to see you soon!
