AAEE Engineering Education Research School

Are you new to the field of engineering education?

Are you looking to undertake engineering education research or apply for related grants?

Are you looking to grow your network?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Research School might be for you!

AAEE’s Engineering Education Research School is an immersive experience that brings together novice, emerging and experienced education researchers to learn about designing and undertaking effective education research projects, evaluating teaching and curriculum and positioning evaluation and research activities in light of current trends. The Engineering Education Research School has become a flagship event in the AAEE calendar and a must for engineering education researchers, attracting educators and researchers from all over Australasia (and even some from further afield!).

Knowledge is power, and evidence suggests that those who develop a greater understanding of the principles discussed in the research school are more likely to be successful in applying for engineering education grants and awards, or having papers accepted in journals. Therefore, if you are looking to grow in the engineering education community, this is an important starting point.
