Interactive Poster Session Materials from 2007 FIE Conference - Academic Pathways Study

The posters from Special Session F3E, Academic Pathways Study: Special Interactive Session on Findings and Implications for Engineering Education and Practice, of the 2007 Frontiers in Education Conference are available as downloadable files through the links below.

The goals of this special interactive session were to begin the processes of (1) knitting APS knowledge into the larger body of engineering education scholarship, and (2) develop ways of thinking about these findings that inform engineering education and practice.

The Academic Pathways Study (APS) is one of the three research elements of CAEE, the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education. APS is a mixed-methods longitudinal study of engineering undergraduates.

If you would like further information about the Academic Pathways Study, please contact: Dr. Cynthia J. Atman, University of Washington, at atman@uw.edu
