- First Year Engineering Experience (FYEE) Conference: Call for 2024 & 2025 Hosts
The steering committee for the First-Year Engineering Experience (FYEE) Conference is requesting proposals to host future FYEE conferences. The FYEE Conference is sponsored by the First-Year Programs Division (FPD) of ASEE. It is a specialty conference intended to enable attendees to network with colleagues on matters associated with an engineering student’s first-year experience in higher education. We are presently recruiting hosts for the 2024 and 2025 conferences. The deadline for the receipt of proposals is 5:00 pm Eastern DST, May 31st, 2020. Information on the expectations of conference hosts and preparing a proposal can be found on the FYEE website – https://sites.asee.org/fyee/.
As indicated in the document describing the proposal process, the general chair of a conference will ultimately be required to propose a cost neutral or revenue generating budget. Therefore, the general chair will be expected to find appropriate university and corporate sponsorship for any conferences expenses not covered by registration and exhibitor fees or sponsorships.
Questions regarding hosting the conference can be addressed to any member of the FYEE Steering Committee. Several members have experience hosting previous FYEE conferences.
We encourage you to visit the FYEE website to learn more about the recently-concluded 2019 conference, hosted by Penn State University (https://sites.asee.org/fyee2019/), and the upcoming 2020 conference hosted by Michigan State University (https://sites.asee.org/fyee2020/).
We look forward to hearing from you. Feel free to share this announcement with others. Please forgive any duplicate emails you may have received if you have recently attended the conference.
Sincerely,
The FYEE Steering Committee: Blake Hylton (j-hylton@onu.edu), Mara Knott (knott@vt.edu), Rich Whalen (r.whalen@northeastern.edu), Kris Craven (kcraven@tntech.edu), Sean Brophy (sbrophy@purdue.edu), Sheila Youngblood (syoungbl@cameron.edu)
