The inaugural AAEE Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Symposium in Engineering Education Research offers an opportunity for Masters by Research and PhD candidates to explore and develop their research projects under the guidance of well-known senior scholars led by Prof. Les Dawes and Prof. Olivera Marjanovic. During the HDR Symposium, participants will share their current dissertation work, exchanging feedback, as well as network with peers.

The aims of the symposium are for HDR students to:

  • Network with other students to extend their network in EER,
  • Present and constructively discuss their own work and the work of others,
  • Receive constructive feedback and input from scholars outside their own institution, and,
  • Contribute to the AAEE community.
