Dear ASEE K12 and Precollege Engineering Division Members,
This is a light newsletter for you at the end of July to re-share some announcements (after my signature) that are still relevant, and to let you know that information for the 2016 Call for Papers from ASEE should be forthcoming in August. Our program chairs, Nancy Ruzycki, Merredith Portsmore, and Liesl Hotaling, have been working during their busy summers to pull our division Call for Papers together. Thank you to Nancy, Merredith and Liesl for your service thus far and in the year ahead!
Please don’t hesitate to contact me about the division or your interest to post in upcoming newsletters.
Sincerely,
Pam

Campbell University is founding a new School of Engineering that will offer the Bachelor of Science degree in General Engineering with concentrations in Mechanical Engineering and Chemical/Pharmaceutical Engineering. The inaugural freshman class will start Fall 2016 (pending SACSCOC approval). The program will utilize an innovative approach to engineering education to ensure a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals, while providing flexibility through multiple concentrations and collaborations across the university. Campbell’s location in proximity to North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park areas provide numerous opportunities for collaboration with other universities and corporate partners. Campbell is seeking to fill two positions:
- Associate Dean, Assistant/Associate Professor (to develop/teach our hands-on, project-based freshman engineering curriculum)
- Laboratory Manager
