Just super busy in the 3D world, as Janet calls it. Burning the candle at both ends. But I have a little time carved out tomorrow morning and I hope to get a blog post written then. And next week is spring break for us, so I hope to have more time then. In the meantime, let me offer a choice of blog posts running around in my head - vote in the comments by Friday morning, and I'll write the one with most votes.
- What microethics and macroethics are in the context of engineering education from my trip to Arizona State University 2 weeks ago
- A beginner's guide to NSF grantwriting, from my vast experience of PIing my first grant (went in yesterday, w00t!)
- A discussion on the future research brainstorm that engineering education researchers from Virginia Tech, Clemson, Utah State, and Purdue had last week in Washington, and how it led into a weird conversation with a lot of deans who didn't want to be there (and some who did - this was where I was last week)
- My plans for spring break
I know, doesn't that all sound riveting? :-) Let me know which one I should write tomorrow.

So I got back Sunday night from a workshop at Arizona State University on Engineering and Science Ethics Education. The goal of the workshop was to explore the possibilities for blending microethics and macroethics in graduate engineering and science education; we spent 2 days talking about the…
Okay, so I've been keeping this under my hat for the last six-eight months, scared of jinxing things, but it's becoming arduous to keep hiding, so I'm sharing.
Purdue submitted a proposal in December for an NSF-ADVANCE institutional transformation grant - the purpose of these grants are to improve…
Okay, so what on earth *have* I been up to, if not blogging? I'm catching you up (rather like the recitative bits in opera - dry, dull, but advancing the action, rather than arias which are beautiful but don't get you anywhere much) with some RBOCs...
As previously mentioned, I had a trip to…
Okay, so I finally updated our family blog with what has been going on behind the scenes here at Chez Nous, and I will share some of it with you, through the power of copy and paste and with only a modicum of overlap. Voila, I present to you my last two weeks (only some of which is work-related)!…
I want to hear about the weird conversation with the Deans.
Discussions please :)
I vote for the conversation with the deans :)
NSF grant writing please!!
Let me just say Spring is in the air.

Weird conversation with Deans next time!

Weird conversations!
NSF grandwriting next time?
Is that a Terry Pratchett quote I see?
I vote NSF grantwriting - grants have been the main reason I don't want to be a "real" professor, and it'd be nice to get a perspective besides my advisor's.
It is indeed a Terry Pratchett quote. :-) And I'm obviously late on this post. I will get to it, I will...
Grant writing, please. Just submitted my first to NSF too and would be interested to see how your experience compares.
