******************************************************************************
The Design in Engineering Education Division (DEED) invites abstracts for papers to be presented at the 2020 ASEE Annual Conference to be held June 21 - 24, 2020, in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Abstracts may be submitted on topics related to the role of design in engineering education.
Abstract Submissions Open - September 3, 2019
Abstract Submissions Due - October 14, 2019
Draft Paper (for accepted abstracts) Due - February 3, 2020
The 2020 Conference Authors Kit is available on this link:
https://www.asee.org/documents/conferences/annual/2020/2020-Authors-Kit.pdf
The purpose of DEED is to disseminate knowledge, learning and best-practice experiences that improve the quality of engineering design education proficiencies and pedagogy. This division is relevant and inclusive to both engineering design instructors and research practitioners. DEED defines relevant and inclusive as applicable and comprehensive through the education and research processes to the design education community.
DEED seeks contributions on topics that include, but are not limited to, capstone design, first-year engineering design, innovation in design education, design instruction and pedagogy, teams and teamwork in design education, design for community, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary design, use of technology to enhance design education, sustainable design, design for “X”, assessment of design activities, design realization, design methodology as well as design-based entrepreneurial mindset, and how these topics relate to equity, access, diversity, and inclusion.
Authors are encouraged to submit work that is beneficial to other design educators and to suggest strategies for transferability and/or implementation. Assessment of work is strongly encouraged when possible, but not compulsory if it’s not suitable for the topic at hand. DEED is also requesting proposals for Workshops, Panels, Special Sessions, new session topics and new session.
Please review the ASEE DEED Paper Guidelines for DEED-specific details related to manuscript submissions. The ASEE DEED Paper Guidelines will be used as a basis for all manuscript reviews. The 2020 ASEE DEED Paper Guidelines will be posted on the DEED website at http://deed.asee.org/index.php/conference-info/.
Podium, Postcard and Poster Sessions
DEED accepts both completed research efforts and those that are a “Work in Progress” for inclusion as peer-reviewed papers in the annual conference. “Work in Progress” is a mechanism/forum for authors to share and receive feedback on preliminary work. “Work in Progress” submissions are identified both through Monolith and through their title, are included in the conference proceedings, and are typically presented in the DEED Poster or Postcard sessions. Accepted final papers will be published in the proceedings and presented in one of three different types of sessions: Podium sessions, Postcard sessions, and Poster sessions. Each are described briefly below:
1) Podium Sessions are traditional research presentations and will occur during division technical sessions. The podium talk format gives authors of papers an opportunity to provide a detailed overview of a research project or curricular innovation. Approximately six papers will be grouped thematically in technical sessions lasting 90 minutes giving each work about 10 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A.
2) Postcard Sessions are a novel session type designed to report important innovations and current research efforts and open conversations. The postcard format gives authors of papers the opportunity to pitch their work with a two-slide (postcard back and front) overview of their work in five minutes or less. After the pitch is made, attendees will have the opportunity to talk with the authors and revisit their postcards while authors receive project feedback from interested viewers. Approximately 8 papers are grouped thematically in Postcard sessions.
3) Poster Session will occur over lunch during the division’s poster session in the convention hall. The poster session format gives authors a large format venue to present research and course innovations in a public setting. Authors are expected to stand near their poster for the entire session to engage with poster session attendees.
All DEED papers will be placed in either a podium session or a postcard poster session by default with preference to the podium session slots being given to full papers and preference for postcard poster session slots begin given to Work-in-Progress papers. Authors may optionally select to present in the Poster Session by contacting the Program Chair and requesting placement in a Poster Session. Any accepted paper may be assigned to either a Podium or Postcard Session (even when the paper is not a “Work in Progress”).
Publish to Present and Review to Publish Criteria
In addition to the ASEE “Publish to Present” requirements, DEED requires the support of its authors in “Review to Publish” at both the abstract and manuscript stages. Abstracts for review will be assigned October 18 and are due no later than October 28. Blind manuscript reviews will be assigned February 7 and are due no later than February 24.
Workshop, Panel and Special Sessions
DEED accepts proposals for sessions in the areas listed for paper submissions. An individual abstract for these sessions is required. Persons wishing to organize a DEED session should (1) contact the Program Chair via email to describe their intent to submit a session proposal AND (2) submit a paper abstract in Monolith providing the following: description of the topic of the session, format for the session, and proposed panelists. DEED officers and directors will review the submissions for appropriate content and (if required) recommend the session to ASEE. To be considered, proposals must be submitted before paper abstract submission deadline (October 14, 2019).
1) Workshop Sessions may be proposed in the areas listed for paper submissions. The abstract must include the following: workshop title, objective, description, speakers/facilitators, estimated head count, and whether or not this workshop was similar to a prior ASEE workshop including the name of the prior workshop as this is the information required by the online form in Monolith. Workshops submitted directly on the ASEE site, prior to DEED approval, will not be recommended to conference organizers for inclusion.
2) Panel and Special Sessions may be proposed in the areas listed for paper submissions. These sessions differ from organized sessions in that they are not publish to present; however, an individual abstract for the panel session is required. The abstract must include the following: description of the topic of the panel, format for the panel session, and proposed panelists.

The Engineering Management Division (EMD) of ASEE seeks papers (abstracts) for presentation at the 2020 ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition in Montreal, Quebec, Canada – June 20-24. Papers in all areas of engineering management education will be considered.
Topics may include any applications of engineering management as it relates to education and the development of future engineering managers. All topics in the Engineering Management Body of Knowledge (EMBOK) are welcome including, but not limited to: Leadership and Organizational Management, Strategic Planning, Financial Resource Management, Project Management, Supply Chain Management, Management of Technology, etc. Suggested topics in education include, but are not limited to: engineering management program organization, approaches to outcome assessment and program/course effectiveness, workplace applications of engineering management skills and concepts with educational implications (including academic-industry collaboration), engineering management education success stories, innovative teaching practices in engineering management, asynchronous or synchronous learning networks, diversity, equity and inclusion. Special consideration will be given to papers which address issues of education to the Engineering Management discipline.
The EMD is offering two new types of sessions for the 2020 conference. They may be joint sessions with the Engineering Economy and Systems Engineering Divisions. The sessions are as follows:
1) WIP postcard sessions – the main idea is that presenters have a brief (5 minute) time to present their work – with open discussion following. No paper is required for a postcard session, only an extended abstract. However, the paper management system cannot be used to manage the postcard session abstracts, so please send abstracts directly to the program chairs (email at end of the call for papers).
2) A diversity, equity and inclusion session, to include papers on these areas in engineering. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are important facets of all engineering education and we encourage papers on these topics.
All submissions to the division will be considered for the EMD Best Paper Award. This award will be announced at the division dinner and includes a framed award certificate. In addition, all presentations made during the conference will be considered for the EMD Best Presentation Award, which will be announced following the conference and recognized at the division dinner during the next annual conference.
The EMD accepts work in progress (WIP) papers per ASEE guidelines. These papers should appeal to a large section of the EMD audience and reflect educational research that is innovative in nature. The paper should focus on the purpose, hypotheses, and potential methodologies of the proposed research. The EMD expects that WIP papers will be approximately four pages in length and will receive reduced presentation time compared to full conference papers. The title of WIP papers should begin with “Work in Progress:”.
Submitted abstracts should be 200 - 300 words in length and will be peer-reviewed. The abstract should provide a clear statement of the work's objective and its relevance to engineering management education.
Authors submitting to EMD will be asked to review both papers and abstracts for the division. Those who are unable to fulfill this commitment by the timelines required may have their own papers rejected by the session chair, regardless of paper quality. EMD is a publish-to-present division. Both abstracts and papers must be accepted to present at the conference.
All abstract and paper submissions will be handled electronically through ASEE’s Paper Management System. Submissions must be completed electronically, and due dates and times indicated on the ASEE website must be met without exception. For additional information including deadlines and guidelines, refer to: http://www.asee.org for the upcoming 2020 conference in Montreal, Quebec.
