ASEE Zone 2 Conference Call for Papers

Engineering Everywhere for Everyone

March 2 - 5, 2017

Presentation Formats

Proposals for participation can be submitted in the following formats:

Schedule

Papers will be accepted based on a peer review of manuscripts. Authors are expected to present their papers at the conference to facilitate the transfer of knowledge through discussion and debate. All accepted papers presented by a timely-registered author will be included in the conference proceedings.

Papers and workshops will be submitted in a two-stage process. First, initial short descriptions of the proposals must be submitted by the submission deadline below, and then they will be reviewed by the program committee. The program committee will meet on September 28 to review the abstracts.

If you are invited to submit for the second stage of the process, you must submit a preliminary version of the complete document by November 13, 2016. These documents will then be peer-reviewed. After the peer-review process, final versions of the documents as they will appear in the conference proceedings must be submitted by January 16, 2017. Note that the accepted workshops should be submitted in full by November 13, 2016 so we can post the workshop descriptions. This will allow people enough time to plan their trips so they can attend the workshops.
