                                        Title                                      
  • If you would like to be considered for the Young Investigator award, notify Dr. Yilin Feng at yfeng22@calstatela.edu. 
  • If this is a work in progress, put “Work in Progress” at the beginning of the title. 
    • Example:     Work-in-Progress: Title
  • Special sessions, such as workshops and panel discussions, are encouraged but should be discussed directly with the program chair, Dr. Yilin Feng, at yfeng22@calstatela.edu, prior to abstract submission. 
  • Please remove all identifying information (author names, agencies, universities, etc.) from the abstract and draft. 
  • Abstract Submission Due – October 15, 2025 
  • Draft Paper Due – January 21, 2026 
  • Final Paper Due – April 29, 2026 

Full-Length vs Work-In-Progress Papers 

The expectations of results presented in a Full-Length paper submittal may be considered as higher than those in a Work-In-Progress paper. For instance, Full-Length Paper submittals are typically longer (6-10 pages plus pages for references and biographical information) and present final results or the final phase of research results. Work-In-Progress papers are often shorter (4-7 pages plus pages for references and biographical information) and present results of incomplete or early/intermediate stage studies. The value of the content of papers is not judged by the number of pages. 

The Aerospace Division values both types of papers as they present different opportunities for authors and the audience. Both types of papers are double-blind peer-reviewed. Many of the Work-In-Progress papers are presented in the Poster Session where presenters can interact with attendees as they travel through the session area rather than in a formal presentation. The papers that are presented in the Poster Sessions are included in the Proceedings and considered archival. 

Suggested topics include:
 1. Engineering Epistemologies (research on what constitutes engineering thinking and knowledge within social contexts now and in the future) 
  • Professional development of aerospace engineers

Paper Submission Pathways!  
CEED is offering two paper submission pathways: Research Track and Work-in-Progress, subject to the number and type of submissions received and accepted. All ASEE divisions, including CEED, are publish-to-present.  Both tracks require submission of an abstract and paper that will be peer reviewed (double-blind review process); however, the type of paper for each track is different. Engineers or cooperative education and experiential education professionals from either academia or industry should consider submitting papers that are relevant to cooperative education, internships, experiential or work-integrated learning. This includes every form of experiential education including but not limited to service learning, capstone projects, undergraduate research, internships, co-ops and apprenticeships.
 
WORK-IN-PROGRESS TRACK. Abstracts and papers submitted to this track can be categorized as work-in-progress (WIP). This track is suitable for co-op and experiential education practitioners, as well as researchers who are still in the early stages of their study. This special format is intended to give authors of WIPs the opportunity to pitch their papers in a short presentation, followed by discussion of their work in greater detail with attendees. Papers are shorter papers (6 pages or less). The structure at the conference will include short presentations (3-5 minutes) and facilitated discussion and questions. Papers in this category should have Work in Progress as part of their title. 
 
RESEARCH TRACK. This track is suitable for complete research papers: evidence-based practice papers, research papers, and theory papers. Abstracts should address Background and Motivation, a description and justification of methodology, results and data analysis and conclusions and significance. 
 
PANEL SUBMISSIONS. These sessions should be centered around a specific topic and enlist three to five panelists and at least on moderator to share experiences or work. Panels should be interactive and allow for questions or discussion that move across all panelists. Panel submissions can be sent directly to the ASEE Program Chair:

ASEE plans to remain firm on deadlines this year because they want to adopt a standard annual calendar. This applies to all division submissions—extensions will be very unlikely.

Abstract Guidelines: The submission and review process are blind; please do not include names of authors or institutions within the title or body of the Abstract. Abstracts are generally 250-500 words. We encourage papers that include either a quantitative or a qualitative research approach. All abstracts and papers must be submitted through ASEE’s NEMO system: go to https://nemo.asee.org then navigate to 2026 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition.
If an abstract is accepted, authors are invited to submit a full draft paper. Draft papers are reviewed and either accepted, accepted with further revisions, or rejected. If accepted, at least one author must pay the appropriate ASEE registration fees and attend the conference to present the paper. The ENT Division is Publish to Present, meaning that the paper must pass the review process before it can be presented at the conference.

All corresponding authors will be asked to serve as reviewers. Please update your reviewer status when you submit an abstract.

Collaborative Sessions: In addition to papers and posters, ASEE is encouraging proposals for joint sessions, workshops, panels, and roundtables. Proposals or intent to present for special sessions and workshops must be e-mailed to the ENT Division Program chair Mandana Ashouri at ashouri.2@osu.edu beginning October 1, 2025.  Workshop and Special Session Deadline: December 15, 2025.
When submitting your proposal for a joint session, panel, or roundtable, please include:
1.      Proposed title of session
2.      Purpose of proposed session
3.      Intended audience
4.      Potential benefits to the audience
5.      Proposed speaker(s) or panel members (if you don’t have a specific person in mind, see #6)
6.      Description of the unique perspective that each speaker/panelist would contribute
7.      Proposed session format and schedule (technical sessions are 1.5 hours long)
8.      Anything else you think would be helpful

Full Papers and WIPs: The ENT Division accepts full papers and works-in-progress for publication and presentation at the conference. Full papers represent work that, at the time of the draft paper submission, is completed and that will allow for analysis of results and conclusions. Works-in-Progress (WIP) represent work that is not yet ready for a full paper but may be of interest to the ENT community.
 WIP may be presented as regular talks or as poster presentations. For WIP submissions, the paper must have the phrase “Work-In-Progress:” in front of the title.
 
Best Paper and DEI Paper Recognition: All paper submissions will be considered for the Best Paper Award. The awards are presented at the division reception held during the ASEE Conference.
We encourage authors to submit papers that may be nominated by reviewers for the ASEE Best Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award. ENT reviewers will nominate papers for this award during the review process. The nominations will be passed along to the Commission for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Awards Committee for further review of all nominated papers.

The 133nd ASEE Annual Conference will take place from June 21-24, 2026 in Charotte, North Carolina. 

The Experimentation and Laboratory-Oriented Studies (ELOS) Division invites abstracts for papers for the 2026 ASEE Annual Conference. ELOS is a multidisciplinary division devoted to innovations and best practices for laboratory instruction. 

Papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics are requested: 

  • Pedagogy and best practices of laboratory courses
  • Professional skills development in the laboratory, e.g., technical writing, safety, design of experiments
  • Inquiry-based experiential learning
  • Hands-on laboratory instruction
  • Virtual and remote experiments and laboratory instruction
  • Laboratory exercises using augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR)
  • Integration of laboratory experiments and courses in an online environment
  • Computer-assisted data acquisition
  • Laboratory exercises or design projects that use microprocessors (Arduino, Beagle Bone, Raspberry Pi, Android, etc.)
  • Horizontal or vertical curricular integration of laboratory experiments and courses
  • Unique, multidisciplinary laboratory experiments and programs
  • Pedagogy and best practices for undergraduate research projects
  • Discipline-specific experiences and research in laboratory-based instruction (e.g., in mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering)
  • Applications and integration of AI for laboratory learning (e.g., new ways of using and integrating AI into experimentation, problem solving, design process, design of experiments, etc.)

ELOS sponsors technical sessions with both traditional, slide-based academic presentations (technical and work in progress papers) and live demonstration (bring you own experiment papers, BYOE) sessions at the ASEE Annual Conference. Papers considered for both types of sessions use the standard review process for ASEE Conference papers, but with slightly different review criteria as described below.

ELOS supports a vivid discussion among a diverse group of faculty at the ASEE Annual Conference. Hence, the division encourages submissions from both scholars of teaching and learning and educational researchers. Collaborative work and submissions from representatives of both groups are also encouraged and welcome.

As experiments and laboratories play an integral role in engineering education across all disciplines, ELOS is interested in fostering collaboration across divisions. To that end, we sponsored joint sessions with Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chemical and Materials Engineering, and Civil Engineering during prior ASEE conferences. We plan to arrange similar joint sessions at the ASEE 2026 Conference and actively look for further partner divisions as the year progresses. So, authors who might not have thought of submitting to ELOS in the past but discuss laboratory-related education in context with a specific engineering discipline, could benefit from the joined audiences in these sessions. Authors are encouraged to reach out to us. Finalized joint sessions will be announced at a later date.

Submission Types

1. Technical Papers

Attendees at ELOS sessions have expressed strong interest in the practical aspects of instruction, which is especially relevant to laboratory instruction. Papers describing the implementation, assessment, and integration of both hands-on and online exercises with laboratory or lecture-based classes are encouraged.

Presentation type: Slide-based presentation

2. Work in Progress (WIP) Papers

Work-in-progress papers will also be considered. Abstracts and full Submission of this paper type MUST have a title that begins with “Work-in-Progress: paper title” with the colon separating the phrase from the remainder of the title. Work‐in‐Progress submissions are for reporting on work that is still in the process of study and/or implementation for which results will not be available by the time of draft paper submission.

Presentation type: Slide-based presentation

3. Bring Your Own Experiment (BYOE) Submissions

Unlike traditional papers and presentations, the BYOE sessions highly encourage live demonstrations of laboratory exercises and equipment! The content of the submissions in BYOE sessions focuses more on implementation, which includes fabrication, deployment, and student usage in addition to the underlying pedagogy. BYOE sessions will be publish-to-present. BYOE abstracts must be submitted using the ASEE submission portal. Submissions should be identified by including “BYOE” at the beginning of the title of the abstract. For example, a submission to demonstrate an experiment on optical encoders would be titled “BYOE: A Deconstructed Apparatus for Exploring Rotary Optical Encoders.”    This session will be cross listed with a Materials Division Special Session 1: “Activities with Impact: Experiments!”  If the cost of bringing equipment to the conference is a barrier, please contact the Program Chair.

Presentation type: Live demonstration

Additional Notes

Student Papers: The division strongly encourages student authors to submit papers and accepts student papers in all the three above-described submission types. Student papers should have a student first author and a faculty member as a co-author, and students are expected to present at the conference. Student paper submissions should follow the regular guidelines and review process for the respective submission type, as appropriate. Submissions mainly authored by students should be recognized by a sentence at the beginning or end of the abstract indicating student authorship.

Papers on Diversity and Inclusion: The division strongly encourages work that connects instructional experimentation and diversity and inclusion efforts. However, the contribution of the submitted work in that area should be clearly placed within the context of the technique or the methodology of the presented experiment of laboratory.

Review Process

Technical and WIP Papers
 
Abstracts should be 500 words or less. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit full-length or work-in-progress papers for peer review.
 
Abstracts will be reviewed against the following criteria:
 
  1. Does the work fit with the theme of ELOS, i.e. does the paper concern experimental and/or Laboratory-oriented learning experiences?
  2. Does the abstract's content suggest that a full paper is likely to be of sufficient merit to warrant review?

Papers in the technical paper and WIP paper categories will be reviewed against the following criteria:
 
  1. Readability: Is the paper well written? Is it free of grammatical and spelling errors? Is the paper easy to read? Are the key findings made obvious to the reader?
  2. Technical Merit: Is the analysis sound and well documented? Are the measurement techniques carefully defined and appropriate to the quantities being measured and the appropriate units used? Do the discussion and conclusions follow from the data and analysis presented in the paper? Are assertions of improvements in education supported by rigorous assessment?
  3. Use of Figures and Graphics: Are the figures and graphics clear and effective at illustrating the equipment and data? Do the figures and graphics support the discussion and conclusions? Are the figures and graphics explained by a discussion in the paper's text? Are axes labeled properly and units indicated?
  4. Innovation in Education: Does the paper describe an innovative approach to laboratory-based instruction? Does the paper contribute to the advancement of laboratory-based instruction?
  5. Broad Interest: Is the paper of interest outside of a narrowly targeted audience? Is there a potential crossover of interest to other subject areas or audiences?
  6. Significance and Impact: Is the paper of significance relative to other papers in the same field of interest? Will other researchers or instructors in the same field cite the paper? Is the paper likely to have an impact on the practice of engineering education, or future research in engineering education?
  7. References: Are there enough references on prior research on engineering pedagogy applied by the authors and review of similar work done by other educators in the field?

 

BYOE Submissions

The review process will follow the same deadlines as the standard ASEE abstract and manuscript process with peer review. Abstracts should be 500 words or less. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit full-length submission for peer review. Note that the BYOE paper should focus on the form of a procedure description and instruction crafted in a way that will allow others to easily duplicate the experiment. The written submission shall also explain the motivation for the development of the experiment and the expected learning outcomes. Examples of BYOE submissions from recent years are linked here 1, 2, 3. BYOE submissions selected for presentation after reviewing the required written submission will be published in the Proceedings of the ASEE Annual Conference.
 
BYOE Abstracts will be reviewed against the following criteria:
 
  1. Is the motivation for the development of the experiment clearly explained?
  2. Is the description of the experiment that will be demonstrated during the BYOE session sufficient?
  3. Does the abstract's content suggest that a full submission will interest others in the field?

BYOE Submissions will be reviewed against the following criteria:
 
  1. Readability: Is the description and associated support materials well-developed, easily read/understood, free of grammatical errors or visual inadequacies? (Does it communicate well what it intends to?) Is the experimental procedure made obvious to the reader such that a person in the field could adopt/adapt the experiment?
  2. Technical Merit: Is there sufficiently detailed information provided so that others can reproduce the experiment? Are the measurement techniques carefully defined and appropriate to the quantities being measured? Does the experiment achieve the stated educational objectives?
  3. Use of Figures and Graphics: Are the figures and graphics clear and effective at illustrating the experimental apparatus? Are the figures and graphics explained by description in the paper's text? Are axes labeled properly and units indicated?
  4. Innovation in Education: Does the BYOE submission describe an innovative approach to laboratory-based instruction or an approach that addresses a fundamental student misconception through a hands-on activity?
  5. Broad Interest: Is the paper of interest outside of a narrowly targeted audience? Is there potential for a crossover of interest to other subject areas or audiences?
  6. Significance and Impact: Is the paper of significance relative to other papers in the same field of interest? Will other researchers or instructors in the same field adopt the demonstrated experiment? Is the submission likely to have an impact on the practice of engineering education?
  7. Logistical Feasibility: Is the experiment transportable enough to bring to the conference for a demonstration? If it is not transportable, has it been shown that a reasonably translatable account of its design and implementation can be presented such that the audience would be able to adequately understand it? Can it be represented without bringing it to effectively serve as a demonstration?

Awards

ELOS sponsors three (3) Best Paper Awards and one (1) Best Student Paper Award consisting of certificates and cash prizes of $250 each. Funding for these awards is graciously provided by the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE). All papers submitted to the division will be considered for these awards. The division will make awards for ‘Best Overall Paper’, ‘Best Diversity and Inclusion Paper’, ‘Best BYOE Paper’, and ‘Best Student Paper’. Preliminary screening for Best Paper Awards will be based on the first full-length draft submitted for review after the abstract has been accepted.

2026 Industrial Engineering Division (IED) Call for Papers 
The Industrial Engineering Division (IED) of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) seeks papers for presentation at the 133rd ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition in Charlotte, North Carolina, June 21-24, 2026.  
 
2026 IED Theme: Empowering the Next Generation: Integrating AI, Automation, and Data Analytics in Industrial Engineering Education 
Artificial intelligence, cyber physical production systems, pervasive data analytics, and advanced automation technologies are reshaping industrial engineering practice and the very structures of the programs that prepare tomorrow’s professionals. The Industrial Engineering Division (IED) therefore invites scholarship that demonstrates: 
  • How institutions are adapting: Strategic leadership, policy changes, resource allocation, and culture‑building initiatives that enable sustainable integration of intelligent‑systems content across curricula, laboratories, and co‑curricular experiences.
  • How faculty are evolving: Up‑skilling, role redefinition, interdisciplinary teaming, and change‑management strategies that empower instructors to deliver technology‑rich, human‑centric learning; and
  • How students are experiencing and shaping these changes: Learner perspectives on motivation, identity, employability, and ethical engagement with intelligent systems.

ASEE IED Submission Considerations
Relevant submissions are welcome from all engineering disciplines.  Considerations for acceptance include the level of innovation, technical merit, demonstrated outcomes and relevance to industrial engineering education.  Authors are encouraged to submit work that could be useful to other IE faculty, including strategies for implementation. The IED strongly encourages submissions of diversity, equity and inclusion-related papers.  Purely technical papers that have no educational component or papers describing courses that will or have not been taught will most likely not be accepted. Exemplary topic areas include, but are not limited to:

To submit an abstract and paper, you will need to use your ASEE login or create a new account.  ASEE membership is not required. Conference details, including the full call for papers, Authors Kit, and poster formatting guidelines, are available at: https://www.asee.org/events/Conferences-and-Meetings/2026-Annual-Conference-Exposition


ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
ASEE recommends abstracts to be between 250 and 500 words. The following criteria are used to review abstracts:
 
1.     Clearly motivates the work based on needs and referencing relevant literature 
2.     Clearly describes the project and key findings 
3.     Identifies the NSF program that funded the work 

During the abstract submission process, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you select the NSF Grantees’ Poster Session as the “Division” to which you submit.

PAPER SUBMISSION
All posters must submit a paper to be accepted for the poster session. However, this session only accepts extended abstracts summarizing a project (2-5 pages not including references). Papers are reviewed blind, so identifying information should be removed from draft papers, The papers will be reviewed based on the following criteria:
 
1.     Motivates the work based on needs and referencing relevant literature 
2.     Describes the project, methodology, and results 
3.     The paper is clear, concise, and consistent. It is easily understandable and a pleasure to read. The writing is near perfect, with few grammatical or spelling errors. 
4.     Identifies NSF program and award number and follows the required submission format provided by ASEE in the Author’s Kit. 

After review, draft papers will be accepted, require revisions, or rejected from the conference. Papers are most often rejected or require revisions due to lack of relevance to the session or not including required information or following the required format.
 
 A few other items of note:  
  • In order to keep the session focused on results rather than plans, only projects with a start date at least a year before the conference are receiving invitations to submit.  If your project will not have significant results by the time of the conference, please wait until next year.  If you have presented at this session in the past, you are encouraged to submit an abstract again only if it is a significant update on your previous work. 
  • If you have more than one qualifying award, you may submit more than one abstract as long as you are prepared to display and cover more than one poster board.
  • Everyone who submits an abstract will be asked to review a few abstracts. You will not have to review the associated papers. Please help make this session run smoothly by accepting the invitation to review.
  • Abstracts for this conference are generally 250-500 words, broken into 2 to 4 paragraphs. As much as possible, do not include identifying information in the abstract for the sake of having a blind review process. Please do mention the NSF division through which your project is funded. 

This session has long been a high visibility opportunity for dissemination of activities and results related to engineering education.  We hope you will ensure its continued success with your participation.

Paper Submission Pathways!  
CEED is offering two paper submission pathways: Research Track and Work-in-Progress, subject to the number and type of submissions received and accepted. All ASEE divisions, including CEED, are publish-to-present.  Both tracks require submission of an abstract and paper that will be peer reviewed (double-blind review process); however, the type of paper for each track is different. Engineers or cooperative education and experiential education professionals from either academia or industry should consider submitting papers that are relevant to cooperative education, internships, experiential or work-integrated learning. This includes every form of experiential education including but not limited to service learning, capstone projects, undergraduate research, internships, co-ops and apprenticeships.
 
WORK-IN-PROGRESS TRACK. Abstracts and papers submitted to this track can be categorized as work-in-progress (WIP). This track is suitable for co-op and experiential education practitioners, as well as researchers who are still in the early stages of their study. This special format is intended to give authors of WIPs the opportunity to pitch their papers in a short presentation, followed by discussion of their work in greater detail with attendees. Papers are shorter papers (6 pages or less). The structure at the conference will include short presentations (3-5 minutes) and facilitated discussion and questions. Papers in this category should have Work in Progress as part of their title. 
 
RESEARCH TRACK. This track is suitable for complete research papers: evidence-based practice papers, research papers, and theory papers. Abstracts should address Background and Motivation, a description and justification of methodology, results and data analysis and conclusions and significance. 
 
PANEL SUBMISSIONS. These sessions should be centered around a specific topic and enlist three to five panelists and at least on moderator to share experiences or work. Panels should be interactive and allow for questions or discussion that move across all panelists. Panel submissions can be sent directly to the ASEE Program Chair: 
Jenny Strickland
Associate Director, Cooperative Education & Career Readiness
Purdue University
 
Author Guidelines:
  • Please note that both the abstract and the draft paper reviews are double-blind, so do not include personal or institutional identification. 
  • Abstracts: Submitted abstracts should be approximately one page or less in length, with a suggestion of 250-500 words. 
  • Full Paper submissions: full paper submission should be approximately 10-20 pages in length, inclusive of figures and other graphical elements. 
  • Work In Progress Papers: work in progress paper submissions should be 6 pages or less in length.

ASEE plans to remain firm on deadlines this year because they want to adopt a standard annual calendar. This applies to all division submissions—extensions will be very unlikely.

Abstract Guidelines: The submission and review process are blind; please do not include names of authors or institutions within the title or body of the Abstract. Abstracts are generally 250-500 words. We encourage papers that include either a quantitative or a qualitative research approach. All abstracts and papers must be submitted through ASEE’s NEMO system: go to https://nemo.asee.org then navigate to 2026 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition.
If an abstract is accepted, authors are invited to submit a full draft paper. Draft papers are reviewed and either accepted, accepted with further revisions, or rejected. If accepted, at least one author must pay the appropriate ASEE registration fees and attend the conference to present the paper. The ENT Division is Publish to Present, meaning that the paper must pass the review process before it can be presented at the conference.

All corresponding authors will be asked to serve as reviewers. Please update your reviewer status when you submit an abstract.

Collaborative Sessions: In addition to papers and posters, ASEE is encouraging proposals for joint sessions, workshops, panels, and roundtables. Proposals or intent to present for special sessions and workshops must be e-mailed to the ENT Division Program chair Mandana Ashouri at ashouri.2@osu.edu beginning October 1, 2025.  Workshop and Special Session Deadline: December 15, 2025.
When submitting your proposal for a joint session, panel, or roundtable, please include:
1.      Proposed title of session
2.      Purpose of proposed session
3.      Intended audience
4.      Potential benefits to the audience
5.      Proposed speaker(s) or panel members (if you don’t have a specific person in mind, see #6)
6.      Description of the unique perspective that each speaker/panelist would contribute
7.      Proposed session format and schedule (technical sessions are 1.5 hours long)
8.      Anything else you think would be helpful

Full Papers and WIPs: The ENT Division accepts full papers and works-in-progress for publication and presentation at the conference. Full papers represent work that, at the time of the draft paper submission, is completed and that will allow for analysis of results and conclusions.

The 133nd ASEE Annual Conference will take place from June 21-24, 2026 in Charotte, North Carolina. 

The Experimentation and Laboratory-Oriented Studies (ELOS) Division invites abstracts for papers for the 2026 ASEE Annual Conference. ELOS is a multidisciplinary division devoted to innovations and best practices for laboratory instruction. 

Papers addressing, but not limited to, the following topics are requested: 

  • Pedagogy and best practices of laboratory courses
  • Professional skills development in the laboratory, e.g., technical writing, safety, design of experiments
  • Inquiry-based experiential learning
  • Hands-on laboratory instruction
  • Virtual and remote experiments and laboratory instruction
  • Laboratory exercises using augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR)
  • Integration of laboratory experiments and courses in an online environment
  • Computer-assisted data acquisition
  • Laboratory exercises or design projects that use microprocessors (Arduino, Beagle Bone, Raspberry Pi, Android, etc.)
  • Horizontal or vertical curricular integration of laboratory experiments and courses
  • Unique, multidisciplinary laboratory experiments and programs
  • Pedagogy and best practices for undergraduate research projects
  • Discipline-specific experiences and research in laboratory-based instruction (e.g., in mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering)
  • Applications and integration of AI for laboratory learning (e.g., new ways of using and integrating AI into experimentation, problem solving, design process, design of experiments, etc.)

ELOS sponsors technical sessions with both traditional, slide-based academic presentations (technical and work in progress papers) and live demonstration (bring you own experiment papers, BYOE) sessions at the ASEE Annual Conference. Papers considered for both types of sessions use the standard review process for ASEE Conference papers, but with slightly different review criteria as described below.

ELOS supports a vivid discussion among a diverse group of faculty at the ASEE Annual Conference. Hence, the division encourages submissions from both scholars of teaching and learning and educational researchers. Collaborative work and submissions from representatives of both groups are also encouraged and welcome.

As experiments and laboratories play an integral role in engineering education across all disciplines, ELOS is interested in fostering collaboration across divisions. To that end, we sponsored joint sessions with Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chemical and Materials Engineering, and Civil Engineering during prior ASEE conferences. We plan to arrange similar joint sessions at the ASEE 2026 Conference and actively look for further partner divisions as the year progresses. So, authors who might not have thought of submitting to ELOS in the past but discuss laboratory-related education in context with a specific engineering discipline, could benefit from the joined audiences in these sessions. Authors are encouraged to reach out to us. Finalized joint sessions will be announced at a later date.

Submission Types

1. Technical Papers

Attendees at ELOS sessions have expressed strong interest in the practical aspects of instruction, which is especially relevant to laboratory instruction. Papers describing the implementation, assessment, and integration of both hands-on and online exercises with laboratory or lecture-based classes are encouraged.

Presentation type: Slide-based presentation

2. Work in Progress (WIP) Papers

Work-in-progress papers will also be considered. Abstracts and full Submission of this paper type MUST have a title that begins with “Work-in-Progress: paper title” with the colon separating the phrase from the remainder of the title. Work‐in‐Progress submissions are for reporting on work that is still in the process of study and/or implementation for which results will not be available by the time of draft paper submission.

Presentation type: Slide-based presentation

3. Bring Your Own Experiment (BYOE) Submissions

Unlike traditional papers and presentations, the BYOE sessions highly encourage live demonstrations of laboratory exercises and equipment! The content of the submissions in BYOE sessions focuses more on implementation, which includes fabrication, deployment, and student usage in addition to the underlying pedagogy. BYOE sessions will be publish-to-present. BYOE abstracts must be submitted using the ASEE submission portal. Submissions should be identified by including “BYOE” at the beginning of the title of the abstract. For example, a submission to demonstrate an experiment on optical encoders would be titled “BYOE: A Deconstructed Apparatus for Exploring Rotary Optical Encoders.”    This session will be cross listed with a Materials Division Special Session 1: “Activities with Impact: Experiments!”  If the cost of bringing equipment to the conference is a barrier, please contact the Program Chair.

Presentation type: Live demonstration

Additional Notes

Student Papers: The division strongly encourages student authors to submit papers and accepts student papers in all the three above-described submission types. Student papers should have a student first author and a faculty member as a co-author, and students are expected to present at the conference. Student paper submissions should follow the regular guidelines and review process for the respective submission type, as appropriate. Submissions mainly authored by students should be recognized by a sentence at the beginning or end of the abstract indicating student authorship.

Papers on Diversity and Inclusion: The division strongly encourages work that connects instructional experimentation and diversity and inclusion efforts. However, the contribution of the submitted work in that area should be clearly placed within the context of the technique or the methodology of the presented experiment of laboratory.

Review Process

Technical and WIP Papers
 
Abstracts should be 500 words or less. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit full-length or work-in-progress papers for peer review.
 
Abstracts will be reviewed against the following criteria:
 
  1. Does the work fit with the theme of ELOS, i.e. does the paper concern experimental and/or Laboratory-oriented learning experiences?
  2. Does the abstract's content suggest that a full paper is likely to be of sufficient merit to warrant review?

Papers in the technical paper and WIP paper categories will be reviewed against the following criteria:
 
  1. Readability: Is the paper well written? Is it free of grammatical and spelling errors? Is the paper easy to read? Are the key findings made obvious to the reader?
  2. Technical Merit: Is the analysis sound and well documented? Are the measurement techniques carefully defined and appropriate to the quantities being measured and the appropriate units used? Do the discussion and conclusions follow from the data and analysis presented in the paper? Are assertions of improvements in education supported by rigorous assessment?
  3. Use of Figures and Graphics: Are the figures and graphics clear and effective at illustrating the equipment and data? Do the figures and graphics support the discussion and conclusions? Are the figures and graphics explained by a discussion in the paper's text? Are axes labeled properly and units indicated?
  4. Innovation in Education: Does the paper describe an innovative approach to laboratory-based instruction? Does the paper contribute to the advancement of laboratory-based instruction?
  5. Broad Interest: Is the paper of interest outside of a narrowly targeted audience? Is there a potential crossover of interest to other subject areas or audiences?
  6. Significance and Impact: Is the paper of significance relative to other papers in the same field of interest? Will other researchers or instructors in the same field cite the paper? Is the paper likely to have an impact on the practice of engineering education, or future research in engineering education?
  7. References: Are there enough references on prior research on engineering pedagogy applied by the authors and review of similar work done by other educators in the field?

 

BYOE Submissions

The review process will follow the same deadlines as the standard ASEE abstract and manuscript process with peer review. Abstracts should be 500 words or less. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to submit full-length submission for peer review. Note that the BYOE paper should focus on the form of a procedure description and instruction crafted in a way that will allow others to easily duplicate the experiment. The written submission shall also explain the motivation for the development of the experiment and the expected learning outcomes. Examples of BYOE submissions from recent years are linked here 1, 2, 3. BYOE submissions selected for presentation after reviewing the required written submission will be published in the Proceedings of the ASEE Annual Conference.
 
BYOE Abstracts will be reviewed against the following criteria:
 
  1. Is the motivation for the development of the experiment clearly explained?
  2. Is the description of the experiment that will be demonstrated during the BYOE session sufficient?
  3. Does the abstract's content suggest that a full submission will interest others in the field?

BYOE Submissions will be reviewed against the following criteria:
 
  1. Readability: Is the description and associated support materials well-developed, easily read/understood, free of grammatical errors or visual inadequacies? (Does it communicate well what it intends to?) Is the experimental procedure made obvious to the reader such that a person in the field could adopt/adapt the experiment?
  2. Technical Merit: Is there sufficiently detailed information provided so that others can reproduce the experiment? Are the measurement techniques carefully defined and appropriate to the quantities being measured? Does the experiment achieve the stated educational objectives?
  3. Use of Figures and Graphics: Are the figures and graphics clear and effective at illustrating the experimental apparatus? Are the figures and graphics explained by description in the paper's text? Are axes labeled properly and units indicated?
  4. Innovation in Education: Does the BYOE submission describe an innovative approach to laboratory-based instruction or an approach that addresses a fundamental student misconception through a hands-on activity?
  5. Broad Interest: Is the paper of interest outside of a narrowly targeted audience? Is there potential for a crossover of interest to other subject areas or audiences?
  6. Significance and Impact: Is the paper of significance relative to other papers in the same field of interest? Will other researchers or instructors in the same field adopt the demonstrated experiment? Is the submission likely to have an impact on the practice of engineering education?
  7. Logistical Feasibility: Is the experiment transportable enough to bring to the conference for a demonstration? If it is not transportable, has it been shown that a reasonably translatable account of its design and implementation can be presented such that the audience would be able to adequately understand it? Can it be represented without bringing it to effectively serve as a demonstration?

Awards

ELOS sponsors three (3) Best Paper Awards and one (1) Best Student Paper Award consisting of certificates and cash prizes of $250 each. Funding for these awards is graciously provided by the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE). All papers submitted to the division will be considered for these awards.

Please refer to the author’s kit, available at the ASEE Annual Conference web site, for the official ASEE Abstract and Paper Format Guidelines.  All submissions must adhere to these specified formatting requirements. While there are no page requirements provided in these guidelines, work-in-progress (WIP) papers submitted to MVD should not exceed 6 single-spaced pages and should include “WIP:” as the first word of the paper title. 
 
The MVD sponsors a Best Paper Award in the form of a certificate of recognition. Please note that WIP papers are not considered for the MVD Best Paper Award. 
 
All submissions (abstract, draft paper, and any required draft revisions) are reviewed using a double-blind, peer review process. Therefore, abstracts and draft paper submissions must be blinded and free of any identifying information regarding authorship or institutional affiliation. Neglecting to do so may result in rejection of the submission. Please note that abstract acceptance does not guarantee final paper acceptance. 
 
The MVD is a “publish-and-review-to-present” division. Papers must be accepted for publication to be presented at the conference. Also, by submitting an abstract, authors agree that at least one co-author will serve as a peer reviewer for (at least) one MVD submission in each of the abstract, draft, and subsequent revision rounds. Unfortunately, due to the time and labor requirements incurred by the peer review process, MVD must reject abstract submissions for which no co-authors agree to participate in the review process.   
 
Accepted papers will be assigned to an MVD technical session for presentation. Please note that, for accepted papers to appear in the conference proceedings, at least one co-author must register as a conference participant to present the paper in a designated technical session.

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION
ASEE recommends abstracts to be between 250 and 500 words. The following criteria are used to review abstracts:
 
1.     Clearly motivates the work based on needs and referencing relevant literature 
2.     Clearly describes the project and key findings 
3.     Identifies the NSF program that funded the work 

During the abstract submission process, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you select the NSF Grantees’ Poster Session as the “Division” to which you submit.

PAPER SUBMISSION
All posters must submit a paper to be accepted for the poster session. However, this session only accepts extended abstracts summarizing a project (2-5 pages not including references). Papers are reviewed blind, so identifying information should be removed from draft papers, The papers will be reviewed based on the following criteria:
 
1.     Motivates the work based on needs and referencing relevant literature 
2.     Describes the project, methodology, and results 
3.     The paper is clear, concise, and consistent. It is easily understandable and a pleasure to read. The writing is near perfect, with few grammatical or spelling errors. 
4.     Identifies NSF program and award number and follows the required submission format provided by ASEE in the Author’s Kit. 

After review, draft papers will be accepted, require revisions, or rejected from the conference. Papers are most often rejected or require revisions due to lack of relevance to the session or not including required information or following the required format.
 
 A few other items of note:  
  • In order to keep the session focused on results rather than plans, only projects with a start date at least a year before the conference are receiving invitations to submit.  If your project will not have significant results by the time of the conference, please wait until next year.  If you have presented at this session in the past, you are encouraged to submit an abstract again only if it is a significant update on your previous work. 
  • If you have more than one qualifying award, you may submit more than one abstract as long as you are prepared to display and cover more than one poster board.
  • Everyone who submits an abstract will be asked to review a few abstracts. You will not have to review the associated papers. Please help make this session run smoothly by accepting the invitation to review.
  • Abstracts for this conference are generally 250-500 words, broken into 2 to 4 paragraphs. As much as possible, do not include identifying information in the abstract for the sake of having a blind review process. Please do mention the NSF division through which your project is funded. 

This session has long been a high visibility opportunity for dissemination of activities and results related to engineering education.  We hope you will ensure its continued success with your participation.
