The National GEM Consortium and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) seek talented applicants with a deep interest in improving science and engineering education for a joint GEM-ASEE fellowship position.  The fellow will help develop one or more college-level online introductory engineering courses for the website www.curriki.org, which provides free educational resources for students and educators in third world countries and across the globe.  This project is expected to have lasting impact in making engineering more accessible to diverse populations.  Under the guidance of an ASEE staff member, course creation will take place through an internship at ASEE headquarters in Washington, DC during the summer of 2009.  Prior to this time, the fellow will be expected to gather course materials from ASEE-member (and other) professors, and propose outlines for one or more courses.

A technical background in electrical, materials, mechanical, aerospace, civil, or related engineering fields is a plus.  M.S. program applicants (preferred) and Ph.D. program applicants will apply through the existing GEM fellowship module and adhere to all guidelines set forth by GEM (http://www.gemfellowship.org).  For full consideration, applications must be received by November 15, 2008.
