APPLICATIONS ARE NOT CURRENTLY BEING ACCEPTED
CASEE Senior Fellows are selected from among distinguished and well-recognized opinion leaders with demonstrated abilities to catalyze advancements nationally as well as within their own organizations. Fellows will be chosen based upon their significant promise to provide revolutionary as well as evolutionary research breakthroughs. Applications will be selected from among the ranks of engineering faculty, learning scientists, industrial practitioners, as well as ethicists, historians, and policy makers. CASEE Senior Fellow appointments range from 1-semester to 2 calendar years.
CASEE Senior Fellow applications will be judged by external peers and reviewed by the CASEE Advisory Committee, a distinguished panel of researchers on topics in engineering, science, and education.
The original and twenty (20) copies of applications are due by July 30, of each year and should be sent to CASEE Fellow Applications, NAS G-11, 500 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20001
An application to be a CASEE Senior Fellow consists of an introductory cover letter, a current curriculum vita, and a no more than five-page (single-spaced 12 point) research statement addressing the following items:
- Why do you wish to be a CASEE Senior Fellow; what expertise and experience do you bring to the endeavor, and how do you plan to leverage the experience in your future professional career?
- The research thrusts to be addressed, conjectures or hypotheses to be tested, the proposed methods of investigation, and the guiding, relevant theoretical frameworks. In developing this section clearly indicate how you will adhere to the principles of high quality education research contained in the NRC Report Scientific Research in Education <<http://books.nap.edu/books/0309082919/html/index.html>>:
- Poses significant questions that can be investigated empirically,
- Links research to relevant theory,
- Uses methods that permit direct investigation of the question,
- Provides a coherent and explicit chain of reasoning,
- Replicates and generalize across studies, and
- Discloses research to encourage professional scrutiny and critique.
- A description of the strategic contribution of the proposed research to engineering education and/or practice. What is your vision of engineering education and how will the proposed research advance progress toward that vision?
- Identification logistical plans included the project campus(es) that are to participate in your work, the project team, and a tentative timeline as well as indication of a critical path thrugh that time line.
- Indication of institutional support to be provided to the project by your home or host institution (e.g., partial salary and/or benefits, graduate student support, release time, commitment to apply innovation over a specified period of time, etc.)
CASEE Senior Fellows will be required to devote the time indicated in their proposed plan to Fellowship activities. It is expected that CASEE Senior Fellows will carry out their research plans as proposed in their applications. Results of research carried out by CASEE Senior Fellows should be available to the public without restriction. CASEE Senior Fellows are fully responsible for the conduct of such research and the preparation of the results for publication. CASEE Senior Fellows may request assistance in identifying CASEE Post-doctoral Fellow candidates with whom they might work.
CASEE Senior Fellows will be provided support to attend CASEE Annual Meetings.
At the completion of the CASEE Senior Fellowship term, Fellows are required to submit a final report to the CASEE office containing the results of the Fellow’s activities.
