The Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) is the first operating center of the National Academy of Engineering. We are dedicated to achieving excellence in engineering education, education that is effective, engaged, and efficient. As a reflection of our on-going research and implementation activities, these pages will be dynamic and frequently updated.

NEWS: Presentation slides of 2001 AAAS Session, organized by NAE Senior Program Officer for Diversity Catherine Didion, on "The Participation of Minority Males in Science and Engineering" by Florence Bonner and Carlos Rodriguez.  This topic of this session was closely related to the Forum on Minority Males hosted by CASEE.
NEWS: NSF hosts launch of the CareerWISE web and mentoring site.  Executive Summary  and Research Brief for the site also released.
NEWS: NSF releases new proposal solicitation for Research in Engineering Education.
NEWS: Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education has released its final report, Enabling Engineering Student Success as a downloadable document at.  http://www.engr.washington.edu/caee/   The full report includes results from their research on engineering student learning experiences and aspects of faculty teaching, as well as descriptions of the programs they developed to build the community of engineering education scholars and to help engineering graduate students develop as teachers. With funding from NSF,  CAEE actively conducted research during 2003-2009 and is continuing to disseminate the results of that research.  The CAEE work was the results of the efforts of over 100 graduate students, research scientists and faculty.
NEWS: National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowships, now support engineering (and science, mathematics) education research.  See article on the Science Magazine "Science Insider" website here.
