  1. ASEE Virtual Conference, June 21-24

The 2020 ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition, previously scheduled for Montreal, Canada, will now be an online experience only. The physical on-site conference is canceled. Plans are being made for all of the changes this will entail. We hope you will join us virtually for an exciting FPD program! More details will be coming out over the weeks ahead.


  1. Panelists Needed for Faculty Advancement Panel

The Engineering Management & Faculty Development Divisions of ASEE are looking for four individuals to serve on Panel W322 – Faculty Advancement at the Virtual ASEE conference. To read a Panel description, search for W322 here: https://www.asee.org/public/conferences/172/registration/sessions

The panelists must be tenured faculty and hold the rank of Associate Professor, Full Professor, Department Chair, or Dean. If you are interested, and if you plan to register for the Virtual ASEE conference, please email: jshafai@unl.edu.


  1. FYEE Conference: Updates Forthcoming

The FYEE Planning Committee will be announcing in early May what changes, if any, will be made to the this summer’s FYEE conference, planned for July 26-28, 2020 at Michigan State University.


  1. Looking for Online/Virtual Teaching Idea to Share with FPD Community

To help members of the FPD community continue to offer great educational opportunities for our students, we’re looking to archive great ideas that people have for teaching/learning online and virtually. If you have a great idea you’ve been using for online teaching, labs, projects, advising, or engagement, please consider submitting that idea to our FPD Archive. We’ll make a page on the FPD website and upload these resources for members of the community to use…and we’ll attribute it to you!

If you’d like to share your idea, please submit your idea (summary, attachment, or video) to the Google Form below:
