ASEE Gulf Southwest Conference 2023

Website: https://engineering.unt.edu/asee-gsw

University of North Texas College of Engineering, Denton

March 15 -17, 2023

This year, the conference theme is “Building the Future Workforce Collaboratively.”  Student success through embracing diversity in disciplines, people and approaches will be endemic to all tracks. Sessions and panels will highlight transitions from schools and community colleges into undergraduate, preparing undergraduates for graduate school, integrating computer science into non-majors, curricular innovation, stacked credentials and integrating research.

Conference abstracts and papers will utilize the ASEE portal (guest accounts available) and registration will be on Eventbrite.

We welcome

  1. Professional full length submissions
  2. Professional extended abstracts
  3. Graduate and undergraduate student full length submissions and posters/presentations. (all student presentations will be judged during a poster session for awards so a student can opt to do both)

Key dates

September 8, 2022: Abstract submission open
October 31, 2022: Abstract submission deadline
January 20, 2023: Author/presenter registration deadline

Please note: The ASEE portal deadlines will be updated and track options created through a separate Qualtrics due to limits on current systems.
