2025 ASEE Call For Papers
MATERIALS DIVISION CALL FOR PAPERS
The Materials Division invites paper submissions for the 2025 Annual American Society for Engineering (ASEE) Conference in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Papers will be accepted on a publish-to-present basis. The Materials Division accepts papers ranging from detailed research projects to scholarship of teaching papers. Works in Progress are welcome; please denote as such when submitting an abstract.
Papers that address issues relevant to materials education including, but not limited to, the topics listed below are welcome for submission.
- General pedagogical innovations in materials teaching (i.e. active learning, project-based learning, problem-based learning)
- Advances in materials laboratory courses (i.e. experiment design, report writing)
- Application of materials concepts in the context of other disciplines: integration of materials education in design projects or typically non-materials courses
- Justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in materials education
- Academia-industry collaborations
- Incorporation of computational tools, machine learning and artificial intelligence in the materials classroom
- Online learning strategies for materials education
- Innovations and best practices in introductory materials courses
- Introducing topics of sustainability and life cycle within materials curriculum
- Materials in K-12 education and outreach
Abstracts and subsequent papers should be submitted via the ASEE paper management system. At least one author for each accepted paper is required to register for and present the paper at the conference. Author guidelines and author kit can also be found on the ASEE website.
Special Session: Activities with Impact! The materials division will present a panelist session on classroom demonstrations, in-class (or online) activities and hands-on materials investigations. Participants will prepare a short talk to show their activity/demo followed by a group discussion. Those interested in participating should email a short abstract directly to the program chair (Dr. Joel Galos, jgalos [at] calpoly.edu).
