**********IEEE ISEC 2014 CFP Deadline - January 19 **********

The 4th IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC'14) Friend Center at Princeton University Princeton, NJ, March 8, 2014 (Save the Date!)

We would like to remind you about important upcoming dates for the 4th IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC '14), which will be held Saturday, March 8, 2014 at Friend Center, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ. ISEC 2014 is sponsored by the IEEE Princeton / Central Jersey Section, with technical co-sponsorship by IEEE Region 1 and the IEEE Education Society. This year's theme is Designing Pathways to STEM Success. While all papers on methods of and/or experience with integrating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education are welcome, we are very interested in papers on STEaM (STEM and art) initiatives that have resulted in student recruitment and retention in STEM, especially among students from underrepresented populations in the disciplines. We are also interested in hearing from all parties involved in STEM education, including students and parents, about their experiences with STEM education. Please submit a full paper of 4 - 6 pages for review by 11:59 pm Sunday, January 19, 2014. Your paper must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Please see the author's kit (available at http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/stem/isec_registration.html) for paper format information and template.

NEW! A poster track for K-12 students has been added to the conference. We solicit posters from K-12 students illustrating their favorite STEM activity or topic; promoting their IEEE/STEM club; or discussing the path(s) they are taking to prepare for a STEM career, including classes, extracurricular activities, college visits, mentoring/shadowing, peer advising/tutoring, and internships. Students interested in participating in the poster track should send an abstract of 150 - 300 words describing the poster to isec.2014@gmail.com by Tuesday, February 18, 2014. Suggested abstract and poster templates are also available in the author's kit.
