Topics of interest for submission include any topics related to:
These represent the foundational pillars of each distinct field before they intersect with other disciplines.
Mechanical Engineering: Thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, robotics, and structural analysis.
Electrical and Computer Engineering: Circuit design, signal processing, software engineering, and hardware systems.
Civil and Environmental Engineering: Structural design, geotechnical engineering, waste management, and hydrology.
Chemical Engineering: Transport phenomena, chemical reaction kinetics, and process design.
Anatomy and Physiology: The structural framework and functional systems of the human body.
Pathology and Immunology: The study of diseases, diagnostic mechanisms, and the body's immune defenses.
Pharmacology: Drug discovery, pharmacokinetics, and toxicological impacts.
Clinical Medicine: Internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and emergency care.
Microeconomics: Consumer behavior, market structures, price theory, and game theory.
Macroeconomics: Monetary policy, fiscal policy, inflation, economic growth models, and unemployment.
Econometrics: Quantitative modeling, statistical analysis of economic data, and forecasting.
Curriculum and Instruction: Syllabus design, lesson planning, and instructional strategies.
Educational Psychology: Cognitive development, learning theories, motivation, and human behavior in learning environments.
Assessment and Evaluation: Standardized testing, formative/summative assessments, and grading metrics.
These subtopics exist at the intersections where two or more of these primary fields overlap and rely on one another.
Biomedical Engineering: Designing prosthetics, artificial organs, and medical devices.
Medical Imaging Technology: Developing and optimizing MRI, CT scan, and X-ray technologies.
Bioinformatics and Computational Biology: Using computer engineering to sequence genomes and analyze massive biological datasets.
