Advances
in Engineering Education
is a peer-reviewed journal published
quarterly by the American Society
for Engineering Education (ASEE),
1818 N Street, NW, Suite 600, Washington,
D.C. 20036.
MISSION
The mission of Advances of
Engineering Education is to
disseminate significant, proven
innovations in engineering education
practice, especially those that
are best presented through the creative
use of multimedia.
TOPICS AND FOCUS
The journal publishes articles
on a wide variety of topics related
to documented advances in engineering
education practice. Topics may include
but are not limited to innovations
in course and curriculum design,
teaching, and assessment both within
and outside of the classroom that
have led to improved student learning.
MANUSCRIPT REQUIREMENTS
Articles are expected to fully
document the innovation(s) of interest
and be based on a sound body of
evidence by the author(s) and/or
as reported in the literature. Of
particular interest are those advances
that are best presented through
the creative use of multimedia (e.g.,
text, audio, graphics, animation,
and video) to enhance the readers’
understanding. Work-in-progress
reports that offer the clear promise
of significant advances may be published
as Educational Briefs.
Submitted manuscripts must
include the following elements:
-
Manuscript title, authors and
affiliations, abstract (150
words) and three keywords.
-
The main body of the manuscript
should be divided into appropriate
sections including a introductory
section, a brief overview of
the supporting literature, a
description of the innovation,
example applications, an assessment
section, conclusion and summary
(with an overview of future
work as appropriate).
-
Acknowledgements to external
funding sources and helpful
colleagues;
-
References with URLs where
applicable;
-
Brief biographical sketches
for each author;
-
Figures, tables and URLs should
be embedded at appropriate locations
within the manuscript; tags
should be used to point to any
necessary appendices.
-
Multimedia files as appropriate to enhance the educational
value of the manuscript and facilitate the readers’
understanding of the article. Until accepted for publication,
multimedia files should remain resident on the authors’
servers and accessed using the appropriate tags. Permissible
multimedia formats include: PowerPoint, QuickTime, Flash,
Excel, MPEG, MP3. Please contact ASEE if your submission
includes other multimedia formats.
-
Authors should follow the
recommended style guide modified
from the Chicago
Manual of Style. Please
do not use endnotes; use footnotes
only if they are essential.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts submitted must not
have been published as copyrighted
material elsewhere. Manuscripts
under review by the Journal should
not be submitted for consideration
by other publication as copyrighted
material. By submitting a manuscript,
the author(s) agree that the copyright
will be transferred to ASEE if the
manuscript and associated multimedia
are accepted for publication. The
author(s) retain the rights to the
fair use (e.g., teaching and nonprofit
uses) of the published material.
Manuscripts must be submitted in
electronic form only at the journal’s
Website: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/advances.
Successful submissions are confirmed
by e-mail. The editor evaluates
manuscripts for compatibility with
the journal's mission and review
criteria and normally informs the
author of the decision within two
weeks of submission. If deemed compatible,
manuscripts are forwarded to one
of the journal's associate editors,
who in turn submit them for peer
review. The journal is normally
able to complete the peer review
process and inform the author of
the outcome within two to four months.
Authors need not be members of ASEE.
REVIEW CRITERIA
The journal seeks to obtain at
least three reviews on all manuscripts.
Manuscripts are evaluated according
to criteria established by the editorial
board. Such criteria relate to the
article’s scholarly content,
quality of text and supporting multimedia
(where appropriate). In general,
articles published should: have
relatively wide appeal and address
issues of importance to the engineering
education community. Innovations
should be supported by prior educational
research (as documented in the literature).
Where appropriate, multimedia (e.g.,
text, audio, graphics, animation
or video) should be used creatively
as a means to enhance the understandability
and better convey information to
the reader. However, the use of
multimedia is not a requirement
for publication.

Authors of accepted manuscripts
are asked to pay a publication charge
of $75 per paper. Questions regarding
