CURRENT ACTIVITY

Upcoming CAEE Research Presentations:



CAEE Researchers at the 7th Annual ASEE Global Colloquium on Engineering Education, Cape Town, South Africa, October 19-23, 2008 CAEE researchers will present a plenary talk at the 7th Annual ASEE Global Colloquium in Cape Town, South Africa. This interactive session will present results from the Academic Pathways Study of engineering undergraduates. The colloquium “links engineering educators across international borders and brings together teachers and researchers who would otherwise never have an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and viewpoints.” Click here for more information on this colloquium.

Papers and a CAEE-led Interactive Special Session at the 38th Frontiers in Education Conference October 22-25, 2008 CAEE researchers will be presenting papers and hosting a special interactive session at the FIE Annual Meeting in Saratoga Springs, New York. The session will focus on results from the Academic Pathways Study (APS) and the Studies of Engineering Educator Decisions (SEED) results. The session is designed to introduce engineering education researchers, engineering educators, faculty development practitioners, engineering curriculum developers, and policy makers to recent CAEE findings through an interactive format.

Workshop at the 2008 POD Network/NCSPOD Conference, October 22-25, 2008 CAEE researchers Jim Borgford-Parnell, Jennifer Turns, and Ken Yasuhara will conduct an interactive workshop entitled Research on Engineering Learning and Teaching: Implications for Engineering Education at the Professional and Organizational Development (POD) Network and the National Council for Staff, Program and Organizational Development (NCSPOD) Annual Conference, October 22-25, 2008 in Reno, Nevada. This workshop will focus on recent results from the Academic Pathways Study (APS) and the Studies of Engineering Educator Decisions (SEED) and is intended to promote a dialogue between the research team and audience participants.

Keynote Address and Workshop at the ASEE—Pacific Northwest Conference, University of Washington, Seattle, November 6-8, 2008. The Pacific Northwest-ASEE/WCERTE fall meeting will be held at the University of Washington in Seattle November 6-8, 2008. CAEE team members will be in attendance and presenting CAEE results. CAEE Director Cindy Atman will deliver the keynote address. Cindy Atman, CELT Assistant Director Jim Borgford-Parnell, and CAEE lead Jennifer Turns, will conduct a workshop focused on results from the Academic Pathways Study (APS) and the Studies of Engineering Educator Decisions (SEED). This conference is the combined efforts of ASEE and the Washington Council for Engineering and Related Technical Education (WCERTE), "a voluntary organization of post secondary educational institutions within the State of Washington who are involved with some portion of the total spectrum of engineering and engineering related technical education."



Recent CAEE Activity:



ICLS2008 in the Netherlands, Utrecht, The Netherlands, June 24-28, 2008. CAEE team members presented one paper and one poster at the 2008 International Conference for the Learning Sciences (ICLS). The theme for the 2008 conference was 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 presented 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.

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.
