Call for Papers and Case Studies Journal of SMET Education: Innovations and Research If you have an article or case study that describes educational innovations in the fields of technology and engineering, the Journal of SMET (Science, Mathematics, Engineering, and Technology) Education: Innovations and Research looks forward to publishing your work if it is acceptable to the reviewers. The journal will now publish recent developments that impact SMET education in such areas as policy and industry needs. In addition, we are also expanding its scope to include articles that report innovative methodologies in education that are well founded in SMET content, informed by educational research, and tested through assessment of impact on student learning. The journal is brought out in 2-colors and includes color photographs, charts, and other visual aids in order to bring engineering and technical topics alive. The journal is circulated to 5,000 educators in the SMET area in 4-year and 2-year colleges and policy makers in the Government and private industry. It is developed by the Laboratory for Innovative Technology and Engineering Education (LITEE) and South East Advanced Technological Education Consortium. Southern Nuclear is a sponsor of the journal.

Case Studies: Cases accepted for publication will deal with issues important to faculty members teaching in the SMET fields. The journal not only emphasizes cases based on field research, but also accepts secondary-sourced cases. The journal encourages case studies that cut across the different SMET areas as well as cover non-technical issues such as finance, cost, management, risk, safety, etc. The case studies are expected to be framed around problems facing a decision-maker in an organization. Previously published cases or articles (except those appearing as a short overview in proceedings, posted on web pages, or presented in conferences or workshops) are not eligible for consideration. The journal would accept cases synthesized from author experience.

Research Articles: Articles accepted for publication will describe experiments, innovations, awards, and programs involving SMET education. The articles are expected to describe the details of the experiments, provide visual materials that make the experiment clear to the reader, and discuss the impact on implementation in classrooms. Articles need to include an evaluation or assessment of the benefit of the instructional innovation. Articles that describe programs that promote SMET education are also welcome. Articles that address policy issues in SMET education are also welcome.
