Call for Papers, Posters, GIFTS, and Workshops
The ASEE North Central Section (NCS) invites engineering and engineering-technology educators, researchers, students, and industry partners to submit papers, posters, and workshops for the 2027 Annual Conference. This event provides a vibrant space to share
teaching innovations, explore emerging trends, and build connections across the engineering education community.We welcome full papers, work-in-progress (WIP) papers, GIFTS (Great Ideas for Teaching Students) submissions, senior capstone papers or poster presentations, and student-authored papers from both undergraduate and graduate students. Whether you are piloting a new instructional technique, studying teaching or learning, integrating new technologies into your classroom, or highlighting student design experiences, we encourage you to contribute. Submissions from faculty and instructors should center on engineering education and student learning, including pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, or learning outcomes rather than purely technical research. Student submissions may include educational research, innovations, technical research, or design-focused projects.
