Overview of the Project:
I am requesting funds to support my participation in and travel to the 2016 annual conference
of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) in New Orleans, Louisiana (June
26-29, 2016). This conference is held every June, and it's the largest national conference
focused on engineering education. I am a member of special interest groups focused on
liberal arts in engineering and first-year programs, and I would anticipate attending sessions
that focus on teaching technical communication and on first-year problem-based learning (and
related topics, such as forming/facilitating student teams, improving climate, etc.) I am
planning to submit an abstract to present at the conference as well, and I anticipate that I will
be presenting on my 2015-2016 ISL project (on optimal team formation), and maybe with
colleagues on the UM technical communication curriculum. Because the deadline for
abstracts is not until October, I will not know by this grant's deadline whether or not my
abstract(s) and paper(s) have been accepted.
