4. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Student Experiences in Engineering Online Classes Survey

My name is Rachel Figard, and I am a Ph.D. student in the Engineering Education Systems and Design program at Arizona State University. I am contacting you for assistance in distributing a research survey to members of your organization. Currently, I am conducting a research study to examine engineering students with disabilities’ experiences in online learning. The results of this study will help pinpoint future online accessibility improvements and considerations needed to advance accessibility standards.

Participation in this study consists of an online survey via Qualtrics which takes around 10 minutes to complete. Respondents to the survey must be 18 years or older, a current engineering student, and a student who identifies as having one or more disabilities (whether diagnosed or not). Examples of disabilities include: mental (ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, etc.) and physical (Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, hearing or visual impairments, etc.). Participation in this study is completely voluntary and anonymous. Institutional Review Board approval was granted by Arizona State University to conduct this study in this setting (STUDY00015511).

 

This survey will be open until 4/1. To access the survey, please click the link here (https://asu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3sk6UFs6IjA5DIG). Upon completion of the survey, participants will be entered into a prize pool for the chance to win 1 of 5 $20 gift cards to their choice of store (Amazon, Target, or Walmart).  The drawings for the winners will occur during the last week of April and winners will be contacted directly to collect their compensation.

 

If you have any questions concerning the research study, please email me at: rfigard@asu.edu.

5. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Engineering Education Research (EER) May Summer School in Europe

 

An EER Summer School, organized by the KU Leuven University and SEFI (the European Society for Engineering Education), will be held 2-6 May 2022 in Leuven, Belgium. The registration fee of €800 covers tuition, room (double occupancy) and board. This Summer School provides an opportunity for those new to EER — PhD students and people interested doing a PhD in engineering and science education research — to learn from experts and peers. Workshop topics include:

·       What makes engineering education research so special? 

·       Quantitative Research Methods 

·       Qualitative Research Methods

·       Mixed Methods

All sessions have a highly interactive format, facilitating exchange of ideas and opinions in general or in the context of the participants’ research and projects. Participants will prepare work before the summer school and engage in exercises each day to prepare for in-depth discussion of specific topics.

6. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in Engineering Education at the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Florida

The University of Florida Departments of Chemical Engineering and Engineering Education will host a ten-week paid summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), focusing on engineering education research from May 28 to August 5, 2022. Undergraduate students (in either 4-year or 2-year schools) in a science, technology (including engineering technology), engineering, or mathematics (STEM) disciplines are welcome to apply to this opportunity working directly with Dr. Rivera-Jiménez on research being conducted regarding the influence of national professional societies (i.e., AIChE, ASEE) in facilitating faculty agency toward changes in the curriculum and teaching practices regarding the social implications of the engineering profession (e.g., social justice, inclusive teaching) . 

 

Application. Applications will be open until the position is filled. Interested students must submit (1) CV or Resume; (2) Unofficial transcripts; and (3) A statement (one page or less, PDF) describing career goals for the next five years. All documents must be emailed directly to Dr. Sindia Rivera-Jiménez at rivera.jimenez@eng.ufl.edu.

Position Announcements

1. POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: Department of Engineering Education at the University of Buffalo in the EPT Lab Postdoctoral Associate

The Department of Engineering Education (DEE) in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at the University at Buffalo invites candidates to apply for the position of Postdoctoral Associate. The successful candidate will join the Engineering Problem Typology Lab (EPTL), focusing on research related to evidence-based pedagogy in supporting the professional formation of engineers. Work will span two areas of active research. The first area is reflected in the core idea of engineering problem typology (EPT) – the idea that engineers engage different types of problems in practice and that educational settings should provide experience with those different types of problems. The candidate will support research on the development and use of EPT as a framework to support design, facilitation, and reflection in problem-based learning environments. The second area considers the role of co-curriculars in the professional formation of engineers. Of particular interest is the apparent divergence between the value of co-curriculars as reflected in promotion by institutions, industry, and alumni and the perceived value as reflected in the level of student engagement in those opportunities. Three broad areas of study that stem from this issue include 1) student motivation and learning in co-curriculars, 2) their navigation and tradeoffs among curricular and co-curricular opportunities, and 3) institutional support for co-curriculars to open multiple pathways that promote engagement and persistence in engineering.
