University of Waterloo Professor Chris Rennick will discuss the results of a qualitative investigation that explores how novice designers leverage their relevant knowledge and how that connects to the informed design behaviors exhibited while solving design problems in a think-aloud protocol experiment.

Purdue Computer Science PhD Student Ethan Dickey will present a comprehensive evaluation of the “AI-Lab,” a structured pedagogical intervention designed to encourage mindful and reflective student engagement with generative AI, and offer ways for educators to balance technological innovation with educational integrity.

Purdue's Kirsten Davis, PhD, will discuss ongoing engineering education research that delves into the long-term effects of engineering-focused, global undergraduate experiences and how they make an impact. Davis will talk about her team's research strategy and share the study's early results.

Purdue University School of Engineering Education Professor and Interim Head Joyce Main, PhD, will give a presentation on the state of the school.

In this Horizons of Engineering Ethics (HEE) Seminar, Dr. Albert Dzur, a distinguished research professor at Bowling Green State University, will examine institutional contexts that give rise to tension between democracy and organization.

Two faculty from Turkey will reflect on their work integrating engineering education into the country's K-12 system. Dr. Pınar Fettahlıoğlu will talk about instructional design for engineering design activities at the middle school level, and how teachers manage the learning process and support students’ conceptual development. Dr. Tuba Abanoz will discuss an integrated STEM education curriculum for young children, offering insights into research methodologies employed.

Northwestern University Assistant Professor of Instruction Chamille Lescott takes a look at two recent studies that used a design-thinking, student-centered approach to restructuring assignments, support systems, and pedagogical interventions.

University of Notre Dame Assistant Teaching Professor Alexi Orchard introduces the framework of responsible anticipation (i.e. anticipating the social acceptability and technical functionality of an emerging technology), and discuss examples of how science and technology studies and engineering ethics educators have integrated the framework into engineering, data science, and cross-disciplinary technology courses and workshops.

ENE and ECE have invited Professor John E. Mitchell to present a special lecture on UCL's integrated engineering program, which was launched in 2014 with the goal of connecting departments, emphasizing project work and practical aspects of the disciplines, while at the same time supporting students’ development of key transferable skills.

The School of Engineering Educaton and the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering are hosting a networking event for Jennifer Kerr and Leslie Bottorff, who are two of Purdue College of Engineering's 2025 Distinguished Alumni recipients from ENE/BME. Registration is required to attend.
