A summary of BED sessions is below. You can see additional details of BED events at the ASEE Online Session Locator. The live technical sessions will consist of brief overviews from the authors and extended time for questions. There are no poster sessions, and the Work In Progress papers will be presented during designated technical sessions. For all technical sessions, you can view the authors’ narrated presentation either before, during, or after the conference.
Other BED events, such as the Business Meeting and the Division Awards Virtual Social (it’s “BYOD — Bring Your Own Dinner” this year), will still occur virtually! Using these links, we encourage you to sign up for these events so that we know you are coming (note that you must sign into your ASEE account to do this).
