  • New – Peer Review Workshop (free; 10/25): Join Purdue University Engineering Education researchers in learning how to provide constructive feedback on engineering design solutions at technical reviews. Attendees will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the researcher’s National Science Foundation-funded study.

Opportunity for Free Student Registration!

The GLRC9 Organizing Committee is offering several meritorious undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to attend the event for free. Sponsored attendance includes the conference registration fee, the cost of the Associate Systems Engineering Professional Certification Exam, and a one-year INCOSE Student Membership.
