Marie desJardins, Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, has been selected by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) to participate in NAE’s Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium. desJardins was one of sixty-five faculty members selected from all over the country to participate in the symposium.
“I am very excited about having been selected to attend NAE’s symposium on Frontiers of Engineering Education,” says desJardins. At the symposium desJardins will be presenting the interdisciplinary approach that she uses for teaching students about complex systems and computational modeling in her Honors seminar on “Computation, Complexity, and Emergence.”
desJardins says her goal for the symposium is to engage in conversation with committed educators from across the country about the under representation of women and minorities in computer science and engineering.
The symposium will be held November 13-16 in Irvine, California.
