Frontiers in Education New Faculty Fellows

From 2005 to 2010, CASEE underwrote the expenses of the New Faculty Fellows program of the Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE). The FIE conference is sponsored by the ASEE Education Research and Methods Division, the IEEE Education Society, and the IEEE Computer Society. The purpose of the program was to promote the involvement of young faculty in the FIE conference so that they will be exposed to the "latest and greatest" in engineering educational practices and to exchange information with the leaders in education innovations. Each year new engineering and computer science faculty were invited to submit applications for possible selection as New Faculty Fellows. Fellows are chosen based on their conference paper; a nomination letter from the department chair, dean, or dissertation chair; and their curriculum vita. A rigorous peer-reviewed application process is used, with a review panel of engineering and computer science faculty from assistant, associate, and full professor levels. The fellowship provided a $1,000 grant for conference travel expenses. With CASEE Support, up to 10 Fellows were supported each year.
