The 2013 Research in Engineering Education Symposium (REES2013) will be held on 4-6 July 2013 in Kuala Lumpur.

This symposium follows ICREE 2007 in Hawaii, USA, REES 2008 in Davos, Switzerland, REES 2009 in Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia, and REES 2011 in Madrid, Spain.”

The event is held in collaboration with Research in Engineering Education Network (REEN). REEN is an international forum for scholars interested in discussing and advancing research in engineering education. It aims to bring together the growing international community of engineering education researchers. This vibrant and welcoming community nurtures developing researchers through collaboration and sound methodological approaches to address the challenges within Engineering Education.

Academics, researchers and decision makers interested in enhancing engineering education through scholarly and evidence-based practices should not miss the opportunity to attend this meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This is the first REES symposium held in Asia. It will give you the chance to experience the hospitality of Kuala Lumpur, and the cultural experiences that should not to be missed! Selected papers will be invited for publication in the International Journal on Engineering Education, which is indexed in SCOPUS and ISI.

The 4th International Research Symposium on Problem Based Learning will be organised on July 2-3 2013, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, by the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in collaboration with the UNESCO Chair in Problem Based Learning.

The ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition hosts more than 400 technical sessions, with peer-reviewed papers spanning all disciplines of engineering education. Attendees include deans, faculty and researchers, students, and retirees. Distinguished lectures run through- out the conference, starting with the main plenary. In addition to various award receptions and banquets, ASEE hosts a complimentary “Meet the Board Forum,” providing the opportunity for all registrants to meet with members of the ASEE Board of Directors and discuss current issues in engineering and technology.

In order to strengthen the quality of conference proceedings, the ASEE Board of Directors has voted on a policy of “publish to present” at the ASEE annual conference. This policy, which requires all conference papers and presentations to be peer reviewed, seeks to ensure that intellectual activity by faculty and staff receives appropriate professional recognition.

In addition to Publish to Present sessions, since the 2011 ASEE annual conference, divisions may submit Panel sessions. To submit a Panel session, divisions are asked to provide white papers (extended abstracts) of no more than four pages consisting of two pages of session description and two pages of bios. The PIC chairs will review the Panel sessions submitted and determine their viability to the conference. (Please check the appropriate field/column for submitting a Panel session through the new ASEE paper submission system.)

Women in significant leadership roles share how they – and you – are poised to change the world. Who inspired them, how and what are the best lessons they’ve learned to succeed?

GM13 is a free, live ‘virtual conversation’ For, By and About Women in Engineering and Technology. Please join us and let your friends and colleagues know about a unique event in March to celebrate the women who are in engineering education or employment.

Women of all disciplines of engineering; all career stages and all nationalities will join in webcast conversations about the issues that affect them; the work they do and the stories that they want to share. The event is timed to support Engineering Week and International Women’s Day.

Women from 71 countries took part last year and we hope that this, 9th Year of running, will be the most successful ever. We want to encourage satellite events and Champions around the world. Women in engineering and technology play a critical role in defining how we live and thrive on our shared planet. The Global Marathon forum is designed for, by and about women like you – to share ideas, gain knowledge and new contacts and feel inspired about your personal and professional contributions in the world.

The Marathon fills the need for a collaborative place for individuals and organizations to come together. Our network facilitates live online presentations and discussions as well as in-person chats, globally and locally.

Can you encourage female students; early career professionals and E&T qualified industry leaders to join women engineers from around the world in live chat? Ask a network you know to have a ‘virtual meeting’ or get a group of women at work together for coffee and cake. We want women to connect around the world; to share experiences and encourage each other to progress. The event is recorded to be listened to afterwards so it can be a useful resource to all.

After 8 years we need your help to ensure that this unique platform for women engineers reaches an even wider audience so that all women in engineering and technology groups across different industry sectors join in. Please contact the GM13 team for more information (details below). This is the current schedule but you can add your own event to these or join in any others you wish.

This year’s theme is: “Inspire. Inform. Change the World.”

More women around the world are choosing to study engineering and computing to join exciting careers – this event enables you to speak about the experiences you have and to help others. There is no other live event that connects all technically educated women to each other across the globe.

Register now, create your profile and join the conversation!

The Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering and Technology is a program of the National Engineers Week Foundation supported by NAE and NSPE.

The week of March 11th-15th will see an unprecedented number of engineers going into schools to give inspirational talks to students about the work they do and how they chose their careers. To get involved, sign up to the Inspiring the Future programme.

This week is an important week for engineering with many high-profile events happening. First, the inaugural winner of the global Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering (QEPrize) will be announced. The QEPrize celebrates an engineer responsible for a ground-breaking innovation in engineering of benefit to humanity and will provide a great opportunity to raise the profile of engineering in the UK. We hope that the prize will inspire and engage the next generation of young people to take up careers in engineering.

A unique alliance of organisations: EngineeringUK, the British Science Association, Speakers for Schools and its sister programme Inspiring the Future along with the Royal Academy of Engineering are developing a programme of activities in March, to coincide with other STEM events: such as The Big Bang fair, the first Global Grand Challenges Summit and National Science and Engineering Week.

As part of that programme, and to mark the award of the first QEPrize, engineers from across the county are invited to visit state schools in order to share their passion for engineering with young people. The winner of the £1 million Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering will be selected by an eminent panel of international judges who are leading engineers and scientists. They will visit the UK in March and have been invited to join the programme of engineering activities, including visiting schools to engage and inspire young people in engineering.

Over half of all secondary schools in England have applied for a speaker through the Speakers for Schools programme and many are keen to hear these prominent engineers and scientists talk to their students. A similar number of schools have signed up for the sister programme Inspiring the Future, which aims to recruit 100,000 people at all stages of their careers – from apprentices to CEOs – to go into local schools to talk about their work and career route. The leaders of engineering firms employing large numbers of engineers will be asked to encourage their employees to take part in Inspiring the Future.
