3rd Academy for Software Engineering Educators & Trainers
ASEE&T 2008
April 14, 2008
A special one-day Academy for Software Engineering Educators & Trainers will be held the day prior to the start of CSEE&T 2008. The purpose of the Academy is to provide an opportunity for software engineering educators and trainers to learn from master instructors in a highly dynamic, hands-on, interactive environment.
In particular, the Academy is designed as a special learning opportunity for academics new to teaching software engineering courses, including PhD students who will soon be entering academic careers, new faculty members, and mid-career faculty members who are just beginning to teach in this area.
Slides from this session are available for download.

NSF Scholarships
A limited number of NSF-sponsored scholarships to attend ASEE&T are available for US citizens. These grants can be used to defray travel expenses, tuition, and conference fees. US Citizens and permanent residents of the US and new faculty wishing to apply for travel funds to attend the Academy and CSEE&T should submit:
- a brief budget, and
- a two-page statement explaining how their attending ASEE&T and CSEE&T will contribute to software engineering education or training in the US.
- (for students) a statement of expected graduation date;
- the applicant's current or future involvement in software engineering education or training; and
- a statement to as to what alternative funding is available, if any.
For students, the letter must attest to the fact that the student will complete the degree within the next year and will likely be involved in software engineering education or training.
Special consideration will be given to applicants where ASEE&T participation will likely impact under-represented groups in computing.
To apply for a scholarship or to obtain more information contact the ASEE&T headmaster, Dr. Tom Horton at horton@cs.virginia.edu. (Be sure to put "ASEE&T 2008" in the subject line.)
Important dates:
- February 20: budget, brief statement, and letter of recommendation due by 7pm EST. via email to Dr. Tom Horton at horton@cs.virginia.edu. (Be sure to put "ASEE&T 2008" in the subject line.)
