Join the ASME Mechanical Engineering Education (MEEd) Summit, which was launched in 1989. MEEd is the only conference specifically designed for mechanical engineering and engineering technology educators and leaders, from academia, industry, and government, that takes an in-depth look at the current and future challenges and opportunities impacting mechanical engineering education.

The Association of Computer Science Departments at Minority Institutions (ADMI) is hosting a symposium devoted to computing issues relevant to minority students, education and institutions. This 2025 Symposium will be held in-person and will highlight undergraduate and graduate research with particular interest on innovations in the computing field. The theme of this year's symposium is Enhancing AI Capacity at Minority Serving Institutions.

Nebraska EQUATE invites its participants and partners to learn and network to advance quantum science innovation. The 2025 Nebraska Research and Innovation Conference -- Quantum Simulation and Quantum Computation -- will take place Friday, March 28, at the Graduate Hotel in downtown Lincoln.  This all-day meeting includes invited speakers and poster sessions with student and post-doctoral researchers from Nebraska' EQUATE project. The cost to attend this event is free, however pre-registration is required: No later than Friday, February 28.

Annual NRIC events are conducted by Nebraska EPSCoR with funding via NSF OIA-2044049 (Nebraska's Emergent QUAntum materials and TEchnologies "EQUATE" research collaboration).

Join FLATE for an interactive, hands-on virtual workshop where you’ll explore real-world applications of machine learning in manufacturing. Participants will work together, experimenting with diverse data sets to uncover insights and solve challenges. This collaborative session is designed to equip you with both the theory and practice needed to apply ML techniques effectively in the manufacturing sector.

A career conversation with your mentor-manager is essentially a negotiation. It's a time to discuss your career path, what types of support your mentor-manager is willing and able to offer, and the level of productivity they'll need to see to continue to support you. Using best practices from Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most (Stone, Patton, Heen and Fisher), participants will go through the steps of preparing for a negotiation (including identifying conversational goals and concerns about the conversation, assessing their research mentor's position and preferences, etc.), brainstorm different conversational tactics for each stage of a negotiation (including opening the conversation, negotiating different issues, coming to agreement and ending a conversation) and consider steps post-conversation.

• Workshop participants will come away with strategies to:
• Identify the steps to prepare for a career conversation
• Consider how your mentor-manager would prefer to have this conversation
• Develop talking points to keep the conversation on track
• Discuss how to open, have and exit the conversation
• Identify strategies if a conversation becomes contentious
• Describe next steps post-conversation(s)

Welcome to the 2025 InnovATEBIO series of virtual ATE project talks.  This series features leaders in biotechnology workforce education from across the US sharing their work on exciting projects funded by the National Science Foundation's Advanced Technological Education (ATE) program.  The ATE program supports the education of technicians for the high-technology fields that drive our nation's economy.

Talk 1:  DNA Subway 2.0

Enhancing DNA Subway 2.0 as a Shared Resource for Bioscience Workforce Development - this project has partnered with Oxford Nanopore Technologies to make its MinION device an accessible and affordable solution to bring DNA sequencing into teaching laboratory. At the same time, this project has redeveloped DNA Subway 2.0 as a mobile-first application designed to work equally well on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer. Together, these advances enable the sequencing and analysis of DNA barcodes in the field, in school, or at home—by anyone, at any time. This session will introduce you to nanopore sequencing and its surprisingly low cost.  You will be guided you through the entire bioinformatics workflow to analyze DNA barcodes produced by nanopore sequencing.

Speaker:  David Micklos, Executive Director, Dolan DNA Learning Center

Join the webinar on Lights Out Project – Eliminating Light Pollution and Driving Student Inquiry from CREATE as a part of their Spring 2025 Innovation Webinar Series.

The past four years, CREATE has sponsored the Call for Innovative Ideas, highlighting the outstanding work faculty have done to integrate technology, engage students with industry-relevant tools, and create student-centered, hands-on courses. This year they are excited to announce their line up of Innovation presentations. These webinars are 30 minutes and showcase the amazing work being done by energy educators across the nation.
