CISE Doctoral Students to a Research-in-Practice Poster Exchange

We have now solidified the plan, and I am writing to share a Call for Proposals  inviting doctoral students from your department to participate in a conference-style poster session on June 25, 2026 . The session is designed to support scholarly connection and exchange around research ideas. Our online Computer Science Education Ed.D. students, many of whom work as practitioners in K-16 educational contexts, will engage with on-campus doctoral students for meaningful research-in-practice dialogue.   We would be delighted to have doctoral students from your department join this exchange. Additional details and the proposal submission form can be found in this Call for Proposals . https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iJR_gxemV9UiCo8HrvIednngkvNnl0oz/view?usp=sharing

Graduate Student Research Opportunity

 Dear Students,  We are excited to invite graduate students in engineering and computer science to contribute to an ongoing research project exploring how students adjust to institutional expectations (UF IRB ET0047957).  This study aims to understand how graduate students in engineering and computer science interpret and respond to the formal structures of competence, with a focus on institutional expectations (e.g., the Individual Development Plan – IDP) as a reflective and regulatory tool.  Who can participate?   You are eligible if you:  ·                      Are age 18 or older.  ·                      Are completing a graduate program in engineering or computer science at the University of Florida  ·     ...
