You are cordially invited to submit an abstract for a paper, extended abstract, or student poster to share at the 2021 ASEE St. Lawrence Section’s Annual Conference.

We welcome all those who are interested (faculty, researchers, graduate students, post-docs, and undergraduates)! Suggested and potential topics include:

  • best practices
  • remote teaching and learning
  • the hybrid classroom
  • accommodating students’ and faculty’s unique needs in a time of crisis
  • work to share related to engineering or engineering technology education beyond this year’s theme

Abstracts for a webinar workshop or panel presentation will also be considered.

If you had an abstract accepted for last year’s conference, we invite you to resubmit your abstract for the opportunity to share your work with an audience this spring. Please include a note explaining that it was accepted for the 2020 conference. Submissions from last spring’s conference will be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.
