School of Engineering Education Seminars
The School of Engineering Education hosts a weekly seminar from 3:30-4:30 PM on 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. This seminar is for graduate and undergraduate students, staff, and faculty from across the university who have an interest in educating engineers. Join us!
Please contact Ed Berger with any questions or to recommend future speakers.
Upcoming Events

Every student deserves to thrive in an educational environment. The unjustified need for conformity in the current pre- and post-secondary education systems is causing significant damage to the mental health and self-efficacy of our non-traditional learners, specifically neurodiverse populations like those with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism, amongst others. Sadly, our education system follows the deficit-based paradigm used in the medical model, which stigmatizes neurodivergent learners and overlooks their unique potential for contributing to the technological advancement of the nation.
March 31, 2022
Dr. Redd will discuss how APLU, a higher education association with a membership of 244 public research universities, helps catalyze institutional transformation. She will provide lessons learned from her different projects that focus on improving undergraduate STEM education, diversifying the professoriate, building networks and partnerships, advancing open science, and broadening what counts for impactful work by faculty and staff.
February 17, 2022
As the need for engineers in society continues to increase, there remains a critical national priority to broaden participation in engineering. This research focuses on strategies to more effectively integrate engineering opportunities at home.
