CURRENT ACTIVITY

Upcoming CAEE Research Presentations:
ICLS2008 in the Netherlands, Utrecht, The Netherlands, June 24-28, 2008. CAEE team members will be presenting one paper and one poster at the 2008 International Conference for the Learning Sciences (ICLS). The theme for the 2008 conference is International Perspectives in the Learning Sciences with the goal to "broaden the geographical, cultural, and intellectual scope of the learning sciences community." For information about the ICLS2008 Conference, click here.
Research in Engineering Education Symposium, July 7-10, 2008, Davos, Switzerland. CAEE team members will be presenting three papers at the Research in Engineering Education Symposium (REES) in July. REES provides “an opportunity for emerging and established scholars and practitioners in the field to interact and collaborate substantively on their research.” REES is an invitation-only, highly interactive retreat-oriented meeting where attendees participate in discussions and activities throughout the symposium.

Recent CAEE Activity:


2008 ASEE Annual Conference, June 22-25, 2008, in Pittsburgh, PA. The CAEE Research Team presented twelve papers at the ASEE 2008 Conference in two special sessions (#1531 and #2531) devoted to the latest CAEE research results. The two special sessions were successful, attracting well over 100 people each day. A full list of CAEE papers in the two special sessions can be viewed here. View research briefs based on these papers through the Research Briefs link in the left navigation bar.
CAEE Workshop at the 2008 WEPAN National Conference, June 8-10, 2008, St. Louis, MO. CAEE and WEPAN researchers facilitated the workshop Bridging Research and Practice in Engineering Education: Student Voices from the Academic Pathways Study at the 2008 WEPAN National Conference. Participants built visions of engineering instruction, programming and policy that stem from gender-related APS findings. For information about the WEPAN Conference, click here.
APS Results Presented at Rice University Dean’s Invited Lecture Series, April 9, 2008 Sheri Sheppard, CAEE Co-PI, presented Academic Pathways Study (APS) results to Rice University Dean’s Invited Lecture Series, on April 9, 2008. Sheri’s talk, entitled Does Teaching Matter? (Making a Case for Better Teaching), explored the relationships between teaching and research using examples that illustrate the variety of ways that teaching can affect the engineering student experience. The talk was based on the soon to be published book Educating Engineers: Designing for the Future (sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching), and emerging findings from the NSF-funded APS. Taken together, Educating Engineers and APS show the ways that engineering education is meeting students' and the nation's needs and the many ways it is failing to do so, and suggest ways to embark on redesigning engineering higher education.

CAEE Team Presentations at the AERA Annual Meeting, March 24-28, 2008
Seven members of the CAEE research team attended the American Educational Research Association Annual Meeting in New York. Reed Stevens, University of Washington, and Holly Matusovich, Purdue University, presented papers using results from the Academic Pathways Study of engineering undergraduates. The conference agenda can be viewed here.

APS Results Presented at Gendered Innovations in Science and Engineering II conference, hosted by the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, March 13-14, 2008. Deborah Kilgore, CAEE Research Scientist, participated in the Gendered Innovations in Science and Engineering II conference, hosted by the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, March 13-14, 2008. Deborah was a panelist for “Gendered Innovation in Engineering” with CAEE co-PI Sheri Sheppard as moderator. Deborah presented findings from the Academic Pathways Study (APS) that describe differences between women and men engineering undergraduates in their approaches to design. The conference agenda can be viewed here.
