Day 2 in Vancouver

Today was rather short, but very productive. I started off the morning by going to a session on Educating Students for Professional Success. The very first presenter was Robert Gustafson P.E. who explained how to teach students to become teachers. As an IRE student, we are required to lead learning conversations, so this presentation seemed to have many good pieces of information to extract from it. I then moved onto computer and electrical engineering laboratories. There was not much in this session that was beneficial to IRE, but I learned more about nano technology along with wireless communications. My last session of the day was ASEE International Partners, which was led by the President of ASEE. Anette Kolmos from Aalborg University, Masa Takei from a Japanese University, and Myongsook Oh from a Korean University, all presented their current status of incoming students and the percentages of engineering students. They also discussed their future plans to improve the amount of engineering students that enter and graduate from their institutions. It was a great opportunity to meet the presidents of other countries. My final blog post for the ASEE Conference will be posted tomorrow night. Thanks for reading!
