- Purdue University Press is pleased to announce that the Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER) has engaged three associate editors to serve the publication alongside journal editor Monica Cardella, director of the INSPIRE Research Institute for Pre-College Engineering and an associate professor of engineering education at Purdue University. J-PEER is dedicated to addressing the need to promote engineering interest, preparedness, and representation; to transforming P‐12 education to include engineering; to preparing a globally competitive engineering workforce; and ultimately to creating a society of engineering‐literate citizens.

The three associate editors: Senay Purzer is an associate professor in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University and the director of assessment research at the INSPIRE Research Institute for Pre-college Engineering; Stacy Klein-Gardner is an adjoint associate professor of the practice of biomedical engineering in the School of Engineering at Vanderbilt University; and Gina Navoa Svarovsky is an assistant professor of the practice at the University of Notre Dame Center for STEM Education. The journal is published twice annually in open access format. To read or submit to the journal, visit the website. A full release is available here.
