6. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: 2023 PEER Collaborative National Workshop and Unconference

Save the Date: Wednesday, June 28 (dinner) and Thursday, June 29 (unconference day), 2023

Are you a faculty (new hire, pre-tenure, mid-career tenured faculty), postdoc, or staff member who is primarily evaluated on your engineering education work? The PEER Collaborative is a growing community of people in similar situations who mentor and support each other in their engineering education research positions.

Each year, academic members who are primarily evaluated on engineering education research have been meeting to talk through our needs together in our emerging research-based discipline of engineering education. There are too few senior faculty with expertise in engineering education research, and those colleagues are either too sought after or otherwise engaged to be able to spend much time with early career faculty. An annual workshop and unconference hosted immediately after ASEE has helped us to meet our own needs through peer and near-peer mentoring. The goals of the workshop are to 1. develop, support, and augment networks and working relationships and 2. support and be supported by peers near your same career level on different aspects of work and personal life.

Please join us for this year’s dinner and unconference!

Tentative PEER 2023 Schedule:

Wednesday, 6:30pm-8:00 pm: Dinner (at a nearby restaurant)

Thursday, 9:00am-5:00 pm: Unconference (with lunch break)

Come to as many or as few events as you are able. The location is TBD but near the Baltimore Conference Center.

Please register at our website: https://sites.google.com/view/peer-collaborative. Please direct any questions to Corey Bowen at cbowen5@calstatela.edu.
