[opeverkosto] Doctorate course in Engineering Education Research

Dear Colleague,

Please distribute the following call to any of
your colleagues who might be interested.

                        CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

                Doctorate course in Engineering Education Research (15 ECTS)
                        February - October, 2010

The course aims at promoting participants´
understanding of the EER field as a whole,
covering issues such as relevant literature in
EER, current EE research subfields, samples of
research questions, EER and other fields of
science, how to carry out research in EER and
designing research projects.

The course is directed to two groups:

     * Doctoral students who wish to specialize in
Engineering Education Research and pursue
         doctoral studies and research in EER.
     * Teachers and scholars in Engineering who
wish to pursue research in Engineering Education
and deepen their
         understanding of relevant aspects of high
quality Engineering Education.

In this context, we wish to define Engineering
Education in a broad sense. Engineering sciences
cover many different areas in technology, but
engineering studies also include for example
mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer
science. Therefore we also welcome people who
have been working or aim at working in for
example mathematics education research, physics
education research, chemistry education research
or computing education research, and thus we hope
to bring these communities closer to each other.

After the course, the student should be capable
of designing a research plan for his or her own
research project in EER.

The course will organized during February -
October 2010 in several intensive days
concentrating on difference aspects of EER.

There is no course fee. The course is funded by
NordForsk, and accepted participants from Nordic
and Baltic countries may apply for a grant
covering the traveling and lodging costs.
Participants from other countries
are welcome but they are not eligible for applying the grant.
