2020 Engineering Deans Public Policy Colloquium Fairmont Hotel ● Washington, DC ● February 3-5, 2020

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR ENGINEERING EDUCATION FAIRMONT HOTEL 2401 M ST NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20037
ABOUT THE COLLOQUIUM
The Public Policy Colloquium of the ASEE Engineering Deans Council (EDC) is organized by the Public Policy Committee of the EDC.
This year’s Colloquium focuses on the engineering and computer science talent America will need by 2050 and the policies that must be adopted now to ensure those needs are met. A gap already exists between the nation’s demand for talent and what our engineering schools currently supply, and it is expected to grow in the years ahead. In addition to keynotes, the Colloquium will consider the “gap” from three perspectives:
• Attracting International Talent – Policy Barriers and Opportunities • Promoting an Inclusive Environment: Preventing Sexual Harassment • Workforce Employer Needs
Our hope is to provide attendees with information and tools that will enable us, collectively, to influence policymakers. In addition, the PPC will provide attendees with agency research perspectives and a forum to discuss the broad landscape for engineering education and research, and bring the community together to advocate for critical policy priorities.

1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Registration Sulgrave Foyer
1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Provosts’ Meeting (Invitation Only) Culpeper More than 40 former engineering deans are filling university leadership roles as provosts. Their background as engineers gives them a unique perspective on important technology-education policy challenges. This small pilot meeting, in parallel with the PPC, will convene approximately 20 provosts for two sessions: a discussion with the White House and federal agencies on science and security, access to scholarly communications, and research integrity policies; and a provosts’ roundtable. Attendees will join the PPC reception Monday evening.
3:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. New Deans' Orientation Roosevelt The goal of this session is for new deans to become familiar with key federal issues and the process of working with legislators and their staffs. This interactive orientation will feature an introduction to ASEE, the Engineering Deans Council, and the Public Policy Colloquium, as well as an overview of the federal government and advocacy for research and higher education. Deans will have an opportunity to share their federal concerns and interests.
The orientation will also feature remarks by Dawn Tilbury, Assistant Director for Engineering at the National Science Foundation (NSF), who will explain how deans can work with NSF to advance engineering research and education priorities.
All deans who would like a refresher on these topics are welcome to attend.
