It’s good to be back in the swing of things, although my swing never seemed to stop this summer! Yours?
September 21 is rapidly approaching—please ensure your ASEE abstracts are in on time. Our program is one of the most robust at each conference, and we need YOU to share your work, results and impact. Remember, we’re engineers!. Engineers are not about re-inventing the wheel, but rather adapting it for a particular use. J

The executive board is having its monthly call tomorrow, September 13, from 5-6 PM Eastern Standard Time. If you ever have anything you want us to address, please give me a call or send me an email prior to the second Thursday of each month. I’ll be happy to add it to the agenda and get back to you.
If you are planning on attending either the Triangle Coalition’s World Class STEM Education Conference in DC October 1-2 OR the World Engineering Education Forum in Buenos Aries in mid-October, please look me up! I always enjoy getting the opportunity to interact with those who share my passion for K-12 integrated STEM using engineering.
Enjoy the move into fall. And thanks! I appreciate all you do for K-12 engineering education.
Best,
