The theme of this year's conference is:
Engineering in the New Global Economy
In the coming years, our world will continue to face economical, environmental and energy related problems. How is Engineering and Engineering Technology Education responding to the needs of our society and the world? This will be the theme for an exhilarating and thought provoking weekend of professional workshops, presentations, and discussions at the University of Bridgeport.
The Spring 2009 Conference for the ASEE Northeast Section is soliciting manuscripts and posters which address the various challenges and paradigms in this technological world through research and instructional programs in Engineering and Engineering Technology education. There are three conference tracks:
1. Regular/faculty papers
2. Student papers and
3. Student posters
Suggested conference session topics are listed below. Other innovations in course and laboratory experiences and assessments are also most welcome for submission.
If you are interested in submitting a special paper session, panel, tutorial, or workshop proposal, please contact the Conference Co-Chair, Prof. Navarun Gupta (navarung@bridgeport.edu), by e-mail.
If your company or institution would like to exhibit at the conference, please contact Mrs. Linda Purcell (lpurcell@bridgeport.edu) by e-mail.
