- Call for Hosting Future First-Year Engineering Experience (FYEE) Conferences
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 2019, 2020 and 2021 conferences. The deadline for the receipt of proposals is 5:00 pm Eastern DST, September 29, 2017. Information on the expectations of conference hosts and preparing a proposal can be found in the links below:
Review the FYEE Host Proposal Guidelines and submit a FYEE Host Proposal Form. Here is the link to submit your proposal: Proposal Submissions.
As indicated in the document describing the proposal process, the general chair of a conference will ultimately be required to propose a cost neutral 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 any member of the FYEE Steering Committee. Several members have experience hosting previous FYEE conferences.
We encourage you to visit the FYEE website: http://fyee.asee.org/FYEE2017/ to learn more about the conference, which was hosted by Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL this year. Plans are currently underway for the 2018 FYEE Conference which will be hosted by Rowan University, near Philadelphia, in early August 2018.
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,
