About FIE

Conference Audience and Interests

The anticipated audience for FIE represents a broad spectrum of backgrounds. Attendees cover all disciplines relating to engineering and computing education and come from a variety of institutions and organizations worldwide. Typical interests range from educational research to extending promising results into practice. Attendees can learn about emerging research findings, educational innovations, and implementation of research and think about how this work might be applied in their own context.

Important Things to Know 

• FIE is a fully in-person conference that does not include a virtual option. 
• FIE is a present-to-publish conference, which means that at least one author must register for the conference and present the work. 
• Each full conference registration includes the publication of one paper in the conference proceedings. There is an added publication fee to publish additional papers. 

Overview of the Process for Work-in-Progress and Full Papers

FIE papers are published in archival conference proceedings. Each paper receives a DOI. Papers from previous conferences can be found here: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/conhome/1000297/all-proceedings The abstracts are open access; however, to access the papers you either need institutional access or to be a member of IEEE or ASEE.

To support the advancement of scholarly work and ensure that submissions align with the conference goals, FIE requires the submission of a Structured Abstract followed by a Preliminary Paper before submitting a Final Paper (see Figure 1 below). Members of The Planning Committee will screen Structured Abstracts to ensure alignment with the conference goals and the paper category the author selected. Preliminary Papers are reviewed by peers using a rubric. The decision can be accept, minor revisions required, major revisions required, or reject. If accepted, you should review feedback, make updates, un-anonymize your paper, and upload your Final Paper. If the decision is minor revisions or major revisions, you will need to review the feedback, make appropriate edits, write a response to the reviews to communicate the changes made, and upload your revised paper and response to reviewers. Papers that needed minor revisions will be reviewed by the TPC and papers that needed major revisions will be sent out to reviewers for a second review. A final accept or reject will be made for the revised paper. Once your paper has been accepted, you will need to un-anonymize it and submit your Final Paper.
