The SEFI President's Volunteer Service Award honours SEFI members who have made a valued contribution to the strength of the SEFI community and its vision within the last year, meaning the 12 months before the date of nomination.
Understanding engineering students’ unique backgrounds and lived experiences is increasingly being prioritized in an effort to disrupt the current culture of engineering education.
In the first episode of our new Publication Spotlight series, Natalie Wint speaks with Madeline Polmear from Kings College London about her article “Exploring engagement narratives among self-identified Hispanic women’s experiences in engineering counterspaces”, co-authored with Elizabeth Volpe, Idalis Villanueva Alarcón and Denise Simmons and recently published in the Journal of Engineering Education. The conversation reveals insights surrounding how we can motivate students from diverse backgrounds and support their sense of belonging in engineering education, aiding in their future successes.
The new SEFI Podcast: Publication Spotlight series aims to complement our normal, longer length shows. In these episodes, we speak with authors of recent publications to bring you up to date with some of the latest work within engineering education.
