ELE 2025 features the broad theme of Engineering and Society. We invite podium presentations (15 minutes, followed by panel Q&A), poster presentations, and workshop proposals on topics that include, but are not limited to, the following:
- How engineering students benefit from coursework and other forms of exposure to the humanities, arts, sciences, and social sciences
- Pioneering the expansion of the liberal arts concept itself to include technology
- Considerations of the societal, environmental, ethical, historical, political, cultural, and economic aspects in engineering design and engineering education
- Improving diversity in engineering education and in the engineering workforce
- The affordances and risks of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education
The symposium offers a friendly environment in which to showcase work in progress. Presentation of a paper or poster is not a requirement for attending this symposium, and we encourage attendance from all interested students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Space is limited, however, and early registration is strongly encouraged.
The 2025 ELE symposium is organized under the umbrella of Union College’s Templeton Institute, whose mission is to integrate engineering and computer science with the traditional liberal arts. We thus extend a special welcome to our colleagues in the humanities, arts, and social sciences who are interested in establishing closer ties to engineering and computer science.
