Session Description

Free ticketed event
Many thousands of colleges and universities worldwide have committed to becoming carbon-neutral in their own operations in the next decade or two. Despite these commitments, most institutions are struggling to implement them at the scale and speed needed to meet these challenging targets. There are, however, some examples of colleges successfully planning and achieving breakthrough economic, energy and climate performance in less than a decade. The common factors that enabled this rapid decarbonization to not only be planned but also implemented will be explored, along with how these experiences ... (continued)

First-Year Programs Division Business Meeting

Session Description

This special session is co-sponsored by the Multidisciplinary and International Divisions, in conjunction with the team preparing the blueprint for the ASEE Inclusive Mindset report. The concept of integrated engineering, implemented as a variety of innovations in engineering education that draw from multiple aspects of the discipline, has great promise for leading change towards a more inclusive engineering mindset. Through a series of sessions at the European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), Frontiers in Education (FIE), and ASEE conferences culminating with the Integrated Engineering ... (continued)

Session Description

Managing a lab and research grants can be a steep learning curve for new faculty. Generally, management techniques are learned through mentorship and practice in graduate school and postdoc positions but that not fully prepare a new faculty member to be a PI. There are lots of parallels between managing projects in academia and industry, except that the books and resources from industry aren’t generally used in academia. In this session, resources from leading project management organizations and popular books will be shared along with adaptations to academic projects. Additionally, project manag ... (continued)

During this session we will present papers that focus on teaching and learning of leadership skills in engineering programs. Many faculty tell us they see the importance of teaching professional/essential/soft skills to engineers but they don't know where to begin. This session will provide you will several new approaches to consider with your classes in the fall! We hold this session regularly and it is one that people rate as being the most helpful and engaging!
