GETTING PUBLISHED IN THE TRANSACTIONS: A CHAT WITH TED BATCHMAN
An online discussion is scheduled for mid-April. Join-in or just read the goings-on!

'Getting published' in a professional journal seems to be an ever-present fact of life for most Education Society members. Whether it's 'getting published' for personal reasons or as a co-author with your students, this process can be a daunting task. Ted Batchman, the immediate past Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Education, will offer his perspective on 'Getting Published' in our journal.

This event is scheduled for mid-April. In order to participate you will need to be subscribed to our mailing list. For instructions to subscribe to mailing list click here.

Note: There is a good probability that James Tien, IEEE Vice President for Educational Activities, which means he is the chair of the IEEE Educational Activities Board (EAB), will be a Guest Speaker in late-March. He will talk about the role of the EAB.

CALL FOR PAPERS: WEB-BASED INSTRUCTION

The IEEE Transactions on Education is soliciting manuscripts from academia, industry, government, or other interested professionals that address state-of-the-art Web-based instruction practices, instructional tools, programs, analysis and design techniques, assessment of learning methods, and other relevant issues that are described in the Call For Papers.

ASEE LAUNCHES PRE-COLLEGE ENGINEERING EDUCATION NEWSLETTER

The American Society for Engineering Education's (ASEE) K-12 Engineering Center seeks to identify and gather in one place the most effective engineering education resources available to the K-12 community. From comprehensive data on outreach programs to career guidance materials to hundreds of links and readings related to engineering education, the ASEE Engineering K-12 Center offers immediately useful, easily accessible materials tailored to all parties with an interest in engineering education. Now there is a newsletter available that will provide information to those interested in K-12 (pre college) engineering education on the ASEE K-12 web site's main page.

EDSOC'S WEB SITE

This past May saw the beginning of the Education Society web site's renovation. That renovation has been completed thanks to a large number of Education Society members. It was a pleasure for me to coordinate this effort. But without the enthusiastic cooperation of the EdSoc officers, the AdCom and chairs of the various committees this effort would not have succeeded. The officers, AdCom members, and committee chairs were amazingly responsive to my requests to review, reconstruct, and/or edit material that was going to reside on the web site. Everyone responded promptly and was very gracious. It was a pleasure to work with everyone.

My personal thanks to all those who contributed to the new web site. Click here to view the EdSoc's Web Site
