Dear Colleagues,
We are very excited about this, our fourth issue. We have now completed our first cycle and are well on our way to meeting our goal of four issues per year. We also continue to expand.
I am delighted to welcome two more associate editors to our outstanding editorial board. Jack McGourty (Associate Dean of Engineering, Columbia University) will now be focusing on engineering education briefs. Jack will be helping to identify those exciting new developments that hold great promise for improving engineering education and learning. Mary Besterfield-Sacre (Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering, University of Pittsburgh) will be helping with special issues. In the near future we will be featuring special collections of papers that are of interest to the engineering education community. These papers will undergo the same peer-review process that all of our papers must undergo. We have been receiving a number of requests for special issues and Mary will be helping us select the most appropriate ones and assist with the review process. Both Jack and Mary have been associate editors of the Journal of Engineering Education and are bringing a wealth of experience to AEE.
We are also excited about our linkages with the K-Gray Engineering Pathway digital library (http://www.engineeringpathway.com/ep/). This Engineering Pathway is a portal to high-quality teaching and learning resources in engineering, applied science and math, computer science/information technology, and engineering technology and is designed for use by K-12 and university educators and students. We are delighted that the K-Gray Engineering Pathway has chosen to provide links to each of AEE’s articles, along with a short synopsis and an opportunity for reader input. Through the Engineering Pathway, readers can comment on articles, submit a critique, and/or provide additional information to other interested readers. Engineering Pathway is enabling us to become even more of an online resource. You will find us under the “Engineering Education Community,” “Engineering Education Research” in the Engineering Pathway. We encourage you to not only check us out on the Engineering Pathway, but also checkout the many valuable resources contained in this most dynamic digital library.
