This is our thirteenth issue – 115 papers published and over 500 submissions. In addition, Prism is now featuring AEE Advances – one-page overviews of important articles in the October and February issues. The vast majority of these papers document a proven “advance” in engineering education, with a few others providing reviews of “advances.” In this way we have stayed true to our goal of publishing a wide range of articles that inform the broader engineering education community concerning methodology, pedagogy, and technology that can be implemented either within or outside of the classroom. In contrast, we have neither sought out nor published articles that primarily describe research studies, leaving those to other journals, especially our much older sister publication, the Journal of Engineering Education. Please see our JEE guest editorial on “boundaries” for a more thorough discussion on this subject…
