Session Description

The Journal of Engineering Education is one of the premier scholarly publications sponsored by the American Society for Engineering Education and serves as an important mechanism for members of the Educational Research Methods Division to share their scholarly work with the global engineering-education research community. How research moves from its infant stage through the publication process can often be challenging to understand, particularly for graduate students or early-career faculty. The purpose of this special session/panel is to help researchers and reviewers better understand the publication processes associated with the Journal of Engineering Education.
