School of Engineering Education Seminars
During the fall and spring semesters, the School of Engineering Education (ENE) hosts a weekly research seminar from 3:30-4:20 p.m. most Thursdays. These seminars provide the engineering education community a chance to get together to talk about new ideas, share successes and new research, and support developing research. Please join us! We welcome graduate and undergraduate students, staff, and faculty from across the university with an interest in educating engineers.
Please contact Şenay Purzer, Associate Head of ENE Graduate Programs and Professor of Engineering Education, with any questions or to recommend future speakers.

October 10, 2024
Dr. Louis Tay will trace how the concept of bias has evolved from psychometrics to machine learning, and show how his work has advanced some of the conceptualization, testing, and assessment of bias across these endeavors, culminating in his current thinking on Machine Learning Measurement Bias and beyond.
September 26, 2024
Dr. Khairiyah Mohd Yusof will discuss a faculty development program for supporting engineering educators to transition from teacher-centered to student-centered learning implementation in their classrooms.
September 19, 2024
Dr. Behzad Esmaeili will discuss his hazard identification and risk management study, which offers a blueprint for more effective training designs by incorporating an AI-informed personalized safety training program with the potential to reduce workplace accidents in the construction environment.
September 12, 2024
Dr. Lindsay Sheedy will discuss the Fulbright U.S. Student Program and the Boren Fellowships as well as application timelines, other opportunities facilitated by NISO, and general tips for grant writing applications.
