The theme of the conference is "Engineering Engineering Education (E3): Innovations in the Classroom and Beyond.” Professor Tariq Khraishi, from the UNM Department of Mechanical Engineering, is the chair of the conference.

The following topics will be explored at the conference:

The ASEE GSW Section is one of the most active ASEE sections in the country, Khraishi said, representing ASEE members in New Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana.

Through the Gulf-Southwest Section, members participate in professional activities at the local level and form regional networks of educators with common interests and goals. Section activities include conducting an annual section conference; conducting workshops and professional development activities for faculty members and administrators; sponsoring awards for professional excellence; and issuing newsletters.

Faculty members from New Mexico Tech and New Mexico State University are assisting Khraishi with organizing the conference.
