Celebrating outstanding publications and reviewers from the 2023 volume

The Journal of Engineering Education (JEE) publishes outstanding contributions that span a wide variety of topics and methods (Katz et al., 2023). As we laid out in the journal's strategic plan (Main & Knight, 2023), JEE is more than a place to publish papers—it is a vital partner in the global community of stakeholders dedicated to advancing research in engineering education from pre-college contexts to post-graduate professional contexts. We appreciate that authors from around the globe choose to share their work in JEE and keep it a top destination for high-quality engineering education research.

William Elgin Wickenden Award (2023)

All articles in a volume are automatically considered for the award.

Congratulations to Brooke Coley and Katreena Thomas for their article “‘The lab isn't life’: Black engineering graduate students reprioritize values at the intersection of two pandemics,” which was published in the April 2023 issue (https://doi.org/10.1002/jee.20518) (Coley & Thomas, 2023). The article has been selected to receive the 2023 William Elgin Wickenden Award!

Many thanks to Senior Associate Editor Bill Williams and Deputy Editor Adam Carberry for co-chairing the selection process and the Wickenden Award committee members Jiabin Zhu, Stephen Secules, Alex Mejia, Brian McSkimming, and Madeline Polmear. We also appreciate the entire JEE editorial board for participating in this challenging task of identifying one paper to recognize out of an entire volume of excellent research contributions.

JEE Star Reviewers (2023)

Our annual recognition of a few members of the JEE community is always an important activity to highlight some of our outstanding contributions from the past year. We would be remiss, however, not to acknowledge everyone in the community for helping continue to make JEE a top destination globally for sharing engineering education research. All of our authors, reviewers, editorial board members, and readers play critical roles, and we appreciate you.

Farewell from the JEE Editorial Board

We are saying a fond farewell to Assistant Editor Matilde Sánchez-Peña. Matilde has been on the JEE Editorial Board since 2021 and has been a wonderful member of our team. We wish her well in her continued role as a faculty member. It has been a pleasure to work with you, Matilde!
