The Design in Engineering Education Division (DEED) invites abstracts for papers to be presented at the 2021 ASEE Annual Conference to be held June 27 - 30, 2021, in Long Beach, California. Abstracts may be submitted on topics related to the role of design in engineering education.
Abstract Submissions Open - September 8, 2020
Abstract Submissions Due - October 12, 2020
Draft Paper (for accepted abstracts) Due - February 8, 2021
The 2021 Conference Authors Kit is available on this link:
https://www.asee.org/documents/conferences/annual/2021/2021-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. Papers related to diversity, inclusion, and equity qualify for submission to a conference-wide best paper award.
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 13 and are due no later than October 24. Blind manuscript reviews will be assigned February 9 and are due no later than February 22.
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 12th).
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.

Special sessions can be interactive presentations, panels, or workshops on an ethics-related topic of interest to engineering/engineering technology and teaching professionals. Workshops are normally presented on the Sunday immediately preceding the conference. Workshop presenters are required to cover the cost of the workshop and are therefore encouraged to supplement workshop fees with appropriate extramural grants and subsidies. (Please note that even after accepting a proposal, the program chair may cancel any workshop that becomes likely to incur a financial loss to the division). Special sessions can be a group of four or five related papers on a topic of significance or a panel of several invited speakers. Please contact the division’s Program Chair to discuss pre-conference workshops and/or special session proposals.
Distinguished speaker sessions or distinguished panel sessions also are very welcome each year for the Ethics Division. These sessions have a separate timeline for proposals and acceptance. Please see the ASEE website for details. Please contact the Program Chair of the Division if you are seeking Ethics Division Sponsorship (sole or joint) before submitting your proposal to ASEE.
We will be reviewing and accepting five types of papers this year.
• Posters are best for early stage projects or conceptual proposals that would benefit from more direct discussion and feedback from the ASEE audience and can include work-in-progress research presentations or educational interventions that have not yet developed into research.
• Work in Progress (WIP) Papers: for research studies at an intermediate stage for which authors are seeking to present early findings and receive feedback from the community.
• Research Papers: Complete or near complete research studies that are situated within a body of previous scholarship and utilized accepted research methodology. Results, conclusions, and future research will be presented.
• Theory Papers: A review paper or theory-focused paper; must include a review of relevant prior work in engineering ethics research or education and present important insights or theory for future evaluation or translation into practice.
• Evidence-Based Practice Papers: Instruction-focused papers about an educational project and its implications for engineering educators; must include presentation of pedagogical and/or ethical frameworks and relationship to prior work in ethics education. Relevant literature citations, methodology, and assessment results must be presented.
In addition to papers that address traditional issues in engineering ethics, we also encourage you to submit papers that focus on one or more of the following topics:
• Global or international focused engineering ethics education practice and research (papers with a global or international focus may also be considered for revision and publication in a proposed special issue of the Journal of International Engineering Education);

The EMD is offering two new types of sessions for the 2021 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 2021 conference in Long Beach, CA.

Call for Papers
The Division of Experimentation and Laboratory-Oriented Studies (DELOS) invites abstracts for papers for the 2021 ASEE Annual Conference. DELOS is a multidisciplinary division devoted to innovations and best practices for laboratory instruction.
Papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics are requested:
• computer-assisted data acquisition
• virtual and remote experiments and laboratory instruction
• unique, multidisciplinary laboratory experiments and programs
• laboratory exercises or design projects that use microprocessors (Arduino, Beagle Bone, Raspberry Pi, Android, etc.)
• horizontal or vertical curricular integration of laboratory experiments and courses
• inquiry-based laboratory exercises
• integration of laboratory experiments and courses in an online or MOOC environment
• and the pedagogy and best practices of laboratory courses.
Attendees at DELOS sessions have expressed strong interest in the hands-on aspects of instruction, which is especially relevant to laboratory instruction. Papers describing the implementation, assessment, and integration of hands-on exercises with laboratory or lecture-based classes are encouraged.
DELOS sponsors technical sessions with traditional stand-up presentations and Bring Your Own Experiment (BYOE) sessions at the ASEE Annual Conference. Papers considered for both types of sessions use the standard review process for ASEE Conference papers, but with slightly different review criteria. The BYOE sessions involve live demonstrations of laboratory exercises and equipment. The content of the papers in BYOE sessions focus more on implementation, which includes fabrication, deployment, and student usage in addition to the underlying pedagogy.
DELOS sponsors four (4) Best Paper Awards consisting of certificates and cash prizes. All papers submitted to the division, including BYOE papers, will be considered for these awards. Preliminary screening for Best Paper Awards will be based on the first full-length draft submitted for review after the abstract has been accepted.
Please see the 2021 Call for Papers for the most up-to-date information regarding abstract and paper submission.
Call for Technical Sessions Papers
Abstracts should be 500 words or less. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit full-length papers for peer review.

CALL FOR PAPERS
2021 ASEE ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Liberal Education/Engineering & Society (LEES) Division
The Liberal Education/Engineering & Society (LEES) Division invites abstracts for papers and proposals for partial or full sessions, panel discussions, and innovative session formats for the ASEE Annual Conference, June 27- 30, 2021, in Long Beach, California. LEES provides a diverse and dynamic forum for those concerned with integrating the humanities, arts, and social sciences into engineering education and practice. The division is dedicated to helping understand and improve the processes that contribute to engineers’ development of essential skills in communication, teamwork, engagement with local and international communities, ethical and professional responsibility, and lifelong learning. LEES scholars explore social, historical, political, and cultural contexts co-constituted with technological development. As stated in the bylaws, LEES seeks to:
1. Promote the concept that the humanities and social sciences are an integral and significant part of engineering education, as well as being inherently important in themselves as branches of learning.
2. Provide ways for people who teach the humanities and social sciences in engineering programs to share their ideas and concerns.
3. Provide ways for people in humanities, social sciences, and engineering to interact – in the discovery and development of scholarly and curricular relationships.
4. Express its concern for and involvement in engineering education on an international scale.
LEES welcomes papers, roundtables, workshops and unconventionally structured sessions based on topics pertaining to the broader division goals of critically engaging with the formation of engineers , but is especially encouraging submissions pertaining to the following specific themes for the 2021 conference. Please notify the program chair directly if you are submitting a paper for a specific thematic session or if you wish to discuss a novel session format.
Theme 1: Engineers’ Social Responsibility in the Times of Covid-19, Racial Unrest, and Heightened Social Uncertainty: There is a critical need for engineering educators to rethink the social responsibility of engineers as we face momentous challenges. LEES calls for papers that highlight how the pandemic, racial unrest, and other forms of social insecurity in the US and around the world require us to rethink the role of engineers in confronting these challenges, including, but not limited to:
1) new and/or alternative normative frameworks (ethics, social justice, activism, decolonization, Critical Race Theory, Black Feminist Thought, Queer Theory, Crip Theory, etc.) to guide the behavior of engineers, and how to teach these in engineering education;
2) faculty and students’ experiences and initiatives in dealing with these challenges in and out of the classroom;
3) theoretical frameworks (transnational feminism, Marxist thought, etc.) that address transnational conditions of contemporary engineering education and practice (including globalization, global climate- and immigration-related conditions, etc.); and,
4) engineering as it engages with the state through projects of infrastructure, surveillance, incarceration and defense.
Theme 2: Minoritization Processes in Engineering Education: Now more than ever, there is a critical need for theory and praxis on minoritization in engineering education. LEES would like to include papers attending to (but not limited to) the following domains:
1) engineering education experiences of peoples of color, disabled people, LGBTQ communities, immigrants and children of immigrants, or low-income and first-generation students, especially in times of Covid-19, the Black Lives Matter movement, racial unrest, austerity, and other forms of social insecurity;
2) intersectional approaches to identity and how these inform how we teach and how students experience engineering education;
3) the implications and uses of prevailing framings of ‘diversity’ and ‘inclusion’ for maintaining (or challenging) the status quo in academic research, teaching, administration, and other forms of practice in engineering education; and,
4) means of interrogating the power relations inherent in majority-dominated research, funding and employment structures, including building theory and praxis around whiteness, maleness, cis-identity, abled identities and other prevailing categories of privilege.
Theme 3: Problematization and Overhaul of the Term “Soft Skills”: While significant LEES scholarship and practices aim at the integration of the social and the technical in the education and professional practice of engineers, this goal remains difficult to achieve for different complex reasons, including the power and persistence of the ideology of depolitization and one of its most common and popular manifestations: the invocation of “soft skills” that at once proclaims their importance while also treating these skills as lesser-than technical knowledge (note that LEES does not condone the usage of this term). Soft skills are labeled as something important for engineers to have to be effective in so-called human interactions (e.g., presentations, negotiations, team interactions, management, leading others, etc.) yet often valued as something less than the “hard” scientific and technological content of engineering education. LEES calls for papers that highlight:
1) discriminatory formulations of the intellectual capacity and categorization of “soft skills”; and,
2) the marginalization of significant social aspects of engineering education and practice through the use of that term.
Theme 4: Communication Across Divisions Initiative: Issues surrounding communication are addressed across ASEE’s divisions. As in the past several years, we plan to coordinate joint sessions on engineering communication with a range of other divisions. As part of this initiative, LEES would like to strongly urge researchers to consider LISTENING as perhaps one of the most important yet neglected dimensions of communication. Many other divisions use listening as a core skill (e.g., to build empathy for human-centered design or for community engagement) yet take it for granted without much theorizing about listening as complex practice or thinking how it can be effectively taught and learned in engineering curricula.
Theme 5: Personal and Institutional Experiences with Integrating Liberal Arts in Engineering: This theme calls for authors to share their personal accounts with integrating the liberal arts into engineering curriculum in specific institutional settings. Many instructors may need to overcome a fear of co-optation (selling out) in our teaching and research as we apply the liberal arts to contexts wherein it is under-valued. Others might want to share experiences of the teaching of liberal education in engineering in times of economic austerity. Papers, performances or alternative session formats pertaining to this theme will bring a much-needed critical perspective to engineering education, and will showcase both challenges and success stories.
Important information
The complete programs from the 2019 and 2020 conferences are available on the LEES website (https://sites.asee.org/lees/annual-conference). For each technical session we have also provided a brief summary and a list of possible topics for future papers and collaborations. We welcome submissions that address topics and questions other than those included on this website, but we hope the material posted there will be helpful both for those who are new to LEES and those seeking broader collaborations within LEES. For those who have been a part of LEES we encourage reflection on prior scholarship as a starting point for critique or synthesis.
All paper submissions are publish-to-present. Papers submitted to technical sessions are peer reviewed through the LEES Division process, and those accepted will appear in ASEE Proceedings. The first step in proposing a paper is to submit an abstract to the ASEE paper management by Monday, October 12, 2020. Abstracts for papers should be approximately 500 words long and will be peer reviewed. Once your abstract has been accepted, the first draft paper deadline is Monday, February 8, 2020. Paper submissions may include research reports, classroom applications, or other frameworks. We encourage review papers that synthesize and identify trends in research of interest to the division, especially those aligned with the themes above. Papers published through LEES in the conference proceedings are typically 10-15 pages and include a substantial literature review.
In addition to technical papers, we also welcome proposals for partial or complete sessions. If you are proposing a paper as part of a partial or complete session (including but not limited to the themes listed above), please inform the Program Chair, Juan Lucena, by email at jlucena@mines.edu and provide the names of all authors intended to make up this partial or complete session. All paper abstracts, including those proposed as parts of such planned sessions, will be reviewed on an individual basis.

2021 ASEE Annual Conference Call for Papers
Multidisciplinary Engineering Division
The Multidisciplinary Engineering Division (MULTI) invites abstracts on subjects of interest to those involved with multidisciplinary engineering programs, engineering programs without disciplinary tags, and the promotion of multidisciplinary approaches in engineering education. Multidisciplinary is interpreted here in the broadest sense to include education-related scholarly work that integrates various engineering disciplines as well as the sciences and liberal arts. MULTI accepts abstracts from a wide breadth of researchers, educators, and practitioners.
Authors should consider submitting technical papers for oral or poster presentations, as well as recommendations for interactive sessions and special panels. A link to a google form to solicit interest in panels can be found at the end of this call for papers.
Technical papers can be a Complete Paper or Work-in-Progress Paper (WIP):
• Complete Paper: The criterion for a Complete Paper is that it represents, at the time of draft paper submission, work for which available results can be analyzed to yield supported and significant conclusions. Complete Paper submissions may be reassigned to WIP if they are judged to fall under the WIP criteria.
• Work-in-Progress Paper: Work-in-Progress papers report on work that is in the process of study and/or implementation for which results will not be available by the time of draft paper submission, for studies that are as yet inconclusive, and for studies at an early to intermediate state for which authors are seeking feedback from the community. A submission of this paper type MUST have a title that begins with “Work-in-Progress:” with the colon separating the WIP phrase from the remainder of the title. WIP papers may be assigned to a poster presentation session to allow authors to maximize the opportunity for extended conversations regarding their ongoing research.
Subjects of particular interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Mechatronics and Robotics
o Innovative courses and curricula
o Capstone design
o Hardware and software platforms and environments
o Assessment, evaluation, and accreditation

-------------------------
*Research Papers
Research papers are full papers that address scholarly research in any of the topics following:
(1) “Tricks of the Trade” papers should focus on addressing problems and sharing experiences within undergraduate or graduate school, specifically regarding tricks of the trade or lessons learned along the way. The papers should follow typical research paper formats and be centered around tips and tricks that students have accumulated through their own education that can help guide other students who may be going through similar experiences. These papers should be well informed by published literature and follow formal writing procedures with the inclusion of a thesis or central argument. Topics of interest for this category include but are not limited to:
• Communicating to an audience/writing for publication
• Advice for new graduate students – choosing a committee, work-life balance, stress management
• Research or experiences related to writing a senior thesis, master’s thesis, or dissertation
• Advice for new ASEE student chapters – lessons learned from your own student chapter on campus or advice for other students looking to start a chapter
(2) “Innovation in Engineering Teaching Practices” papers should focus on disseminating student-led research on innovative teaching, curricular, or co-curricular efforts. The papers should follow typical research paper formats and center around analyzing the impact or describing the innovation of new educational practices. These papers should be well informed by published literature and follow formal writing procedures with the inclusion of a thesis or central argument. Topics of interest for this category include but are not limited to:
• Research on an innovative academic or outreach experience contributing to the success of graduate or undergraduate students
• Research on experiences related to being a teaching assistant, lecturer, or course tutor
• Research on innovative, educational, diversity, or other events hosted by an ASEE student chapter
(3) “Student-Led Research on Engineering Education” papers are also welcomed as an opportunity for students to publish research on any other diverse educational topics where a student (graduate or undergraduate) is the primary author and has conducted a significant portion of the research. Sometimes we, as students, are less confident in our ability to publish work that is not as heavily guided and co-produced with a faculty member, so these papers help those ideas be heard and developed in a lower stakes setting. Topics include but are not limited to those detailed in the call for posters.
*Work in Progress (WIP)
WIP papers are shorter papers (6 pages or less). These papers are intended to be submitted by students working on studies at an early to intermediate stage for which authors are seeking feedback from the community. Papers in this category must have Work in Progress as the first part of the title of their paper, ex: Work in Progress: Lessons Learned from University X’s Engineering Service-Learning Program. WIP in this division are eligible for Best Paper Awards.
*Posters
Posters are a great way to present research papers or works in progress papers to the larger ASEE community, as well as, an opportunity to receive feedback and insight from others in the field. Abstracts in this category must have Poster as the first part of the title, ex: Poster: Lessons Learned from University X’s Engineering Service-Learning Program. Topics of interest are open to all areas of engineering education including but, not limited to:
• Assessment
• Collaboration
• Design
• Diversity and Equity
• Educational Technology
• Instruction
• Learning Outcomes
• Professional Practice
• Recruitment and Retention
• Identity and Culture
-------------------------
Paper Abstract Review Process
Submitted abstracts (250-500 words) must indicate whether it is a paper or poster submission in the first word of the title, and the category it falls into, work in progress or diversity. (e.g. Paper: Title (WIP), Paper: Title (Diversity), Poster: Title). Abstracts will receive a double-blind peer review. Pending abstract acceptance, authors will submit a full paper that will receive a separate, double-blind peer review. The reviews are primarily conducted for the benefit of the author and are intended to give the author feedback on research methods and writing style. Pending acceptance of the full paper, authors must present to publish at the conference.
Poster Abstract Review Process
Posters DO NOT require a paper submission for acceptance. Poster publications will undergo a similar review process. Students will be asked to submit an abstract of 250-500 words which will be reviewed in a double-blind peer review. If the poster abstract is accepted, the authors must submit a .pdf of their poster for subsequent peer review. Both the abstract and poster must be accepted to be presented at the conference. Titles of abstract submissions should include distinctions between paper or poster, and if it falls into work in progress or diversity categories. (e.g. Paper: Title (WIP), Paper: Title (Diversity), Poster: Title)
See the Author’s Kit for more information about formatting, submission guidelines and deadlines for abstracts, papers and posters at https://www.asee.org/annual-conference/2021/paper-management/for-authors

All abstracts must be submitted through the Monolith abstract & paper submission portal. Please check the ASEE website for final versions of the 2021 paper Author’s Kit, Publish-to-Present information, paper and poster guidelines, and deadlines.
Abstracts shall be 250–500 words in length and provide a clear statement of the paper’s objective, relevance to two-year colleges, assessment methods, and results. Abstracts will each receive at least one blind review. Authors of accepted abstracts will prepare a draft of the full paper for blind peer review; at least three reviewers will review the draft. To aid both the reviewers and the readers, papers in the TYCD should be limited to 15 pages, including references.
The division strongly encourages that authors conduct meaningful assessment of outcomes and report on the results of this assessment. Papers which provide little or no assessment of the activities described should be marked as “Work in Progress” in Monolith upon submission. As there is a limited number of technical sessions in the TYCD, Work in Progress papers, or multiple papers by the same author(s), or papers that do not suit the content of a technical session, may be assigned to the conference poster session.
Draft papers should be well-developed so that the reviewer has a sufficient understanding of the paper’s goals and content, as well as any research questions, data, etc., that may appear in the final paper. Reviewers may return drafts for revision if, among other issues, the narrative or other content needs clarification, the draft has grammatical and/or spelling errors (the reviewer will not correct the errors), lacks references, etc. Reviewers may also reject the draft. As necessary, authors should respond to all comments provided by each reviewer as part of the revision process.
Upon acceptance of the draft, the final paper will be submitted, which will be reviewed again. Acceptance of both the abstract and the final full manuscript is required for presentation in TYCD sessions and for inclusion in the conference proceedings (publish to present).
Papers accepted for publication must be presented by at least one registered conference participant in a designated technical session, or at a poster session held in the Exhibit Hall, as designated at the time of final submission.
