2009 ASEE Annual Conference
Liberal Education Division Call for Papers
The LIBERAL EDUCATION DIVISION (LED) invites abstracts for papers,
sessions (4-5 papers), panel discussions, and workshops. LED is
concerned with the roles of the humanities, social sciences, and
communication in engineering education. LED members help students
develop the ability to communicate effectively, critically analyze and
fulfill ethical and professional responsibilities, and situate
engineering in larger social, political, and cultural contexts.
Recent topics (and therefore likely session themes) include
- critically assessing the role of liberal education in engineering
knowledge and work
- developing and assessing new approaches to
integrating liberal education in engineering curricula
- examining
the historical emergence of engineering education
- systematic
study of learning outcomes, especially those related to communication,
engineering ethics, engineering in context, and lifelong learning.
Due
to recent changes in ASEE policy, all divisions are now
publish-to-present. Full papers are required, but there is no minimum
paper length. Publication of even short manuscripts helps communicate
LED activities to both members and non-members. Note that panel
discussions and workshops do not require a paper. Please indicate in
the abstract if your attendance at the meeting is not yet certain.
