Session Title for Website and App: Synergies between Research and Teaching: Exploring how Engineering Education Research Can Advance Your Career

Special Session Program Description: Teaching loads can be difficult to juggle alongside your existing research and faculty responsibilities. Why not leverage opportunities to improve your teaching and use your classes to explore additional research via engineering education research? This session will highlight the advantages of integrating engineering education research into your classes as well as give an overview of how these studies can be planned, executed, and published. This session will consist of two parts, a panel presentation from individuals that have been mentored or acted as mentors for investigators new to engineering education research, and a networking session where potential mentors and mentees can exchange ideas and contact information. Please bring your questions and leave with a network of supportive collaborators.
