Overview of the Project:

I am requesting funds to support my attendance at two professional conferences: 1) the Conference on College Composition and Communication Annual Convention (March 19–22, 2014), at which I will be co-presenting the results of research conducted within a first-year, project-based engineering course, and 2) the American Society of Engineering Education 2014 Annual Conference (June 15-18, 2014), for which I have submitted a presentation proposal (co-written with two of my teaching partners) to share results of our research into effective teaming and collaboration in our co-taught first-year engineering course.

Final Report Fields

Project Objectives:

I requested financial support for travel to two conferences (CCCC and ASEE) at which I was co-presenting.

Project Achievements:

Both presentations were successful--the audiences at both were very receptive and interested, and I had interesting conversations afterwards with other presenters and audience members that may lead to future collaboration.

Continuation:

No, both of the research projects that I was presenting the results of have concluded, though the colleagues with whom I was collaborating and I are researching other, somewhat-related aspects of the same first-year classes.

Dissemination:

The presentation and proceedings paper were made available to my colleagues after the conferences; also, I spoke briefly at my department's staff meetings about my presentations, as well as other interesting sessions I attended at the conferences.
