The vision of the CoNECD (pronounced, “connected”) Conference is to provide a forum for exploring current research and practices to enhance diversity and inclusion of all underrepresented groups in the engineering and computing professions. We believe that a transformation of our engineering workforce will not be the result of a singular focus. CoNECD will encompass the many diverse groups that comprise our engineering and computing workforce including groups based on gender (including gender identity and gender expression), race and ethnicity, disability, veterans, LGBTQ+, 1st generation and socio-economic status.

We invite you to submit an abstract to the 8th Annual Conference of CoNECD: Collaborative Network for Engineering and Computing Diversity which will be held from February 9-11, 2025, in San Antonio, TX.

Authors should submit an extended abstract between 300 and 500 words on their paper/presentation topic.

In a time of social, political, and legal challenge, Great Minds in STEM (GMiS) sees a need to support educators and policymakers in STEMM and beyond in their efforts to be inclusive in their teaching while addressing the learning losses exacerbated by COVID. Therefore, we are hosting the Inclusive STEMM Excellence Institute, July 1-3, 2024 in Washington, DC with the following broad aims:

• Provide educators and their constituents with the tools to promote Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) in various settings for various populations within an increasingly hostile social/political/legal environment.
• Provide policymakers with tools for making a continuing case for DEIA efforts and encourage their support of classroom teachers to engage in such efforts
• Provide educators and policymakers opportunities to network with peers, knowledgeable subject matter experts, and resource providers in order to enhance STEMM learning environments.

The Technical Program Chairs invite you to serve as a reviewer for the conference. Reviewers play a crucial role in ensuring the quality and integrity of our conference proceedings. Your expertise, time, and dedication are essential in maintaining the high standards of FIE and our academic community.

By volunteering to be an FIE Reviewer, you:
• Contribute to the advancement of scientific research;
• Have access to the latest scientific research in your area long before it is published;
• Improve your writing and that of others; and
• Become part of the community at one of the most prestigious international engineering and technology conferences.

To recognize, as well as show our appreciation for the service our reviewers provide, each reviewer will receive a Review Certificate from the 2024 FIE Conference at the completion of the review process. The certificate can serve as a tangible token of recognition and be included in reviewers’ professional portfolios, resumes, and Web of Science Review Dashboard. Knowing your vital efforts help shape the success of our conference, we thank you in advance for your thoughtful consideration to serve as an FIE reviewer.

Directions to become a FIE 2024 reviewer:
1. To create an EDAS account OR login to an existing account and find your EDAS Identifier.
2. Once you have an EDAS Identifier, click link to sign-up to be a reviewer.

After completing the form in 2), you will receive an email from fie2024-chairs@edas.info (i.e., the EDAS system) with a link and instructions to setup your reviewer profile. This process is not automatic, so there may be a delay of 24-48 hours after completing the form to get the invitation.

The Alliance for Identity-Inclusive Computing Education (AiiCE) is excited to announce applications are now open for Cohort 5 of the Cultural Competence in Computing (3C) Fellows Program. This two-year, virtual, cohort-based, professional development program helps computing and STEM faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and professionals: 1)learn more about social science topics (such as identity, intersectionality, racism, bias, and discrimination) and how these topics impact academic environments; and 2)develop sustainable projects (courses, modules, and other activities) at their home institutions that leverage these topics to foster more inclusive and equitable cultures. Guest speakers have included leading experts such as Drs. Ruha Benjamin, Safiya Noble, Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Lee Baker, Sasha Costanza-Chock, Moya Bailey, Jessie Daniels, and 3C Fellows from prior cohorts.

Join a growing community of ~ 300 educators, scholars, practitioners, postdocs, and grad students who are working to change the computing and STEM landscape.

Important Notes:
• The deadline for applications is March 1, 2024. Notifications will be sent on or around the first week of April.
• This program is also open to those in STEM disciplines (e.g., math, engineering, biology, etc.). The topics discussed are not computing specific. Additionally, computing is very interdisciplinary, and since we are focused on the academic environments (and not content), then all can enjoy/benefit.
• We encourage participation in teams, as it ensures one person is not responsible for this effort (and makes it easier to sustain your deliverable).
o Please consider including Ph.D. students and postdocs in your team as well.

For questions, please contact us at identitycs@duke.edu.

Were you bored and uninspired with the purely technical nature of your Introduction to Circuits course? Are you a graduate student interested in bringing sociotechnical issues into electrical engineering? Do you see yourself teaching circuits in the future but wanting your course to be “different”? Do you have creative ideas for connecting circuits to real world social issues? If so, please consider applying for our Sociotechnical Electrical Engineering Stars (SEES) Cohort of graduate students to learn about and design sociotechnical modules for circuits.

We were awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to (1) create a series of sociotechnical modules for the Introduction to Circuits course, (2) prepare detailed teaching guides for each module to make it easy for instructors to integrate them into their courses, and (3) assess the impact of the modules on students’ sociotechnical knowledge and sense of social responsibility. To date, we have developed and piloted one module about conflict minerals tied to capacitors and another about repurposing electric vehicle batteries tied to the voltage divider.

We are currently recruiting a diverse group of at least four engineering graduate students, each having a strong connection to electrical engineering, who will join our SEES Cohort to create and test additional sociotechnical modules during Summer 2024. Each member of the SEES Cohort will receive a $2400 stipend for their participation.

The SEES Cohort will begin their work with a two-day, all-expenses-paid, in-person SEES Summit on May 23-24, 2024 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. During the summit, students will discuss the rationale behind addressing social and technical material in circuits, learn about effective course design, and brainstorm topics for sociotechnical modules. Then, over the following three months, members of the SEES Cohort will devote approximately eight hours each week, through a combination of individual and collaborative work, as they develop and refine sociotechnical modules. Finally, during the week of August 19, 2024, we will hold a one-day virtual SEES Showcase (date to be determined) for the cohort to share and discuss the developed modules.

Following the SEES Showcase, members of the cohort may continue to engage in this project in multiple ways. For instance, they could present their work at the ASEE 2025 Annual Conference (we have additional funding to support conference travel for interested members of the cohort) or they could assist with launching the modules and helping faculty learn how to implement them.

To apply for the SEES Cohort, please complete this application form which asks about your interest in the project, your career goals, your past education and experience with the Introduction to Circuits course, your availability, and demographics. We aim to recruit a diverse group of participants with a strong connection to electrical engineering who are interested in the goals of our project and available to engage throughout Summer 2024. Applications are due by January 15, 2024 with decisions announced by February 28, 2024.

If you have any questions, please contact Susan Lord slord@sandiego.edu or Cindy Finelli cfinelli@umich.edu
