From December 13 through December 16, 53 early-career engineering educators will convene in Irvine, California for the second Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium. The selected educators, from academe, government labs, and industry, had to be nominated by either a senior engineer or a dean. A complete list of attendees, as well as their affiliate institutions, is available for perusal.
The topics for this years symposia will focus on engineering education and developing new ways to better captivate students while also ensuring that they come away understanding the fundamentals of engineering. It is hoped that the discussions at the symposium will enable engineering educators to prepare their students for becoming productive and skilled engineers.
Thanks to the many sponsors for the symposium, those selected to attend will not have to pay registration fees and there is a also travel stipend available.
