Conference at a Glance

 

The conference starts Sunday with a welcome reception, then the Technical Program begins Monday morning with a series of highly interactive Workshop sessions - each topic area featured was selected for their timeliness and value related to first year engineering programs. The purpose of the workshops are to describe the main First Year Engineering focus areas that most attendees are connected with in their present position. The session will allow people to meet others that work in their area and share common discussion topics. The morning sessions will provide concentrated professional development and the range of topics offers opportunities for everyone from new faculty and staff members to the most experienced educators to expand their skills and knowledge. In the afternoon the conference will continue with a number of best practice interactive discussions that will continue the discussions started in the morning sessions. Monday evening has a reception activity to promote discussions between conference attendees.

The Tuesday technical program will offer a number of sessions, presented in parallel tracks. The presentations will be a series of best practice descriptions that were submitted based on the call for papers, from the conference attendees. The presentations will include the description of completed work and additional presentations describing preliminary developments of ongoing, cutting-edge projects. Approximately 80 presentations are expected. At lunch there will be a second keynote presentation followed by anothe round table discussion.
