Arizona State University's Engineering Education Systems & Design PhD Program Open House

The 2023 Engineering Education Systems and Design (EESD) PhD Program Open House for prospective students will be held on Friday, October 13, 2023, 1:00-3:30pm EDT. Join us to learn how you can become an exemplary scholar dedicated to transforming the engineering education ecosystem. Activities will include getting to know both ASU and the EESD program and meeting faculty and current students. Interested prospective students can use the following link to REGISTER. Optional one-on-one faculty meetings can be scheduled thereafter. The EESD program prepares graduates for careers in higher education, science centers, government agencies, museums, policy-setting institutions, and industry. Contact Dr. Nadia Kellam (nkellam@asu.edu) and Dr. Shawn Jordan (shawn.j.jordan@asu.edu) for questions about the open house, and visit the ASU EESD PhD program website for more information about the program.

University of Michigan’s Virtual Prospective Student Open House for Engineering Education Research (EER) Program

Monday, October 30, 2023, 2:00-4:00 PM EST

We are excited to invite all interested students to attend an open house to learn about the UM's graduate program in Engineering Education Research (EER). UM's EER program represents a unique, interdisciplinary model: EER Ph.D. students (who enjoy a full funding package) are part of a college-wide program, while several tenure-line EER faculty are embedded within the traditional engineering departments. The integrated nature of the program allows the EER faculty and their research groups to be well-integrated with the traditional engineering disciplines, and it provides students a better opportunity to engage in innovative research and make scholarly contributions to the engineering education community. 

To register, please visit our website at https://eer.engin.umich.edu/.

STEM Education Postdoctoral Opportunities Summit

The STEM Education Postdoc Summit (a.k.a. the “Summit”) will be a virtual event to connect doctoral students and recent doctoral graduates with postdoctoral opportunities nationwide. The goals of the Summit are to connect doctoral students and recent doctoral graduates with postdoctoral opportunities nationwide, to elevate emerging scholars, and to provide professional networking pathways for a diverse pool of applicants. Doctoral candidates or recent graduates interested in applying for STEM education postdoc positions will have the opportunity to present a "pitch" about themselves, their research, and goals for pursuing a postdoctoral experience. STEM education researchers with open postdoc positions will present information about their program to recruit applicants. 

The Summit will be held on Wednesday, November 15, 5 - 7 pm Eastern time.

STEM education researcher looking to hire one or more postdocs, Ph.D. students or recent Ph.D. graduate seeking a postdoc position in STEM education, or those seeking information about postdoc positions in STEM education can register here!

Questions? Contact Lisa Benson, lbenson@clemson.edu

The Summit is being organized and supported by the NSF-funded project, Postdoctoral Research Opportunities and Mentoring for Inclusive STEM Education (PROMISE): https://tinyurl.com/ESEDPROMISE

JEE Mentored Reviewer Program

The Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) is committed to cultivate, disseminate, and archive scholarly research in engineering education.  To expand our reviewer base and maintain the quality of manuscript reviews, JEE launched a Mentored Reviewer Program in 2019. This program is intended to coach new or novice reviewers through the review process with mentor who has substantial experience in reviewing and writing engineering education research studies. We are inviting applications for mentees to the JEE Mentored Reviewer Program. Mentees for the program should be novices in engineering education research such as graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and engineering faculty.  Mentees should display evidence of developing expertise (through formal courses or real-world experiences) in research areas that align with the journal’s mission. Mentees should have developing expertise in either quantitative or qualitative research methods. Individuals from countries other than the United States are welcome and encouraged to apply.

The Mentored Reviewer Program is a competitive program for both mentors and mentees. All mentors and mentees will be acknowledged at the ASEE annual meeting and will receive a certificate recognizing their accomplishments through their participation in the program during the previous year. Mentees will be asked to participate in an online training with their mentors and JEE editors that will include an introduction to JEE and an overview of expectations for reviews. During the mentorship period (approximately 3 - 6 months), mentors and mentees will work together on approximately three article reviews. A scaffolded approach to the review process allows each mentee to gain more independence by their final review. To the extent possible, mentors and mentees will be matched based on expertise. For more information on the program, please contact Lisa Benson at lbenson@clemson.edu, or visit the program website, which also includes resources for reviewers: https://sites.google.com/view/jee-mentored-reviewers/mentored-reviewer-program. 

The application for mentees is available at: https://tinyurl.com/JEEMentoredReviewMenteeF21 . Applications are due by August 20, 2021.
