 On-call session chairs needed for CSChE Conference!
PhDs, Postdocs and Conference Co-organizers, if you're attending (or plan to register for) the CSChE Conference and wouldn't mind being an on-call session chair for talks taking place between Monday, October 29 to Wednesday, October 31 (you don’t have to do all three days), please complete the online form by Wednesday, October 24.
In the event that scheduled session chairs fail to attend (highly unlikely), on-call session chairs simply need to announce the session's speakers (name and talk title), as well as keep track of time.
STEPping up: how ISTEP plans to shape the next generation of engineering leaders
A major shift is underway in the engineering profession. While technical competencies remain paramount, engineering employers are increasingly seeking candidates who demonstrate strong leadership potential, the ability to communicate effectively, and an aptitude for collaborating with colleagues of diverse skill sets and backgrounds. The Institute for Studies in Transdisciplinary Engineering Education and Practice (ISTEP)is developing best practices and novel solutions to prepare students for success in an increasingly global, modern workplace. “The expectations of our engineers are greater than ever before,” said Professor Greg Evans, Interim Director of ISTEP. “That’s why we need to develop a more holistic engineer.” Read more.
