ECEDHA Working Groups


ECEDHA has led national discussions to foster a collective voice in the areas of Branding, Communicators, Community, Curriculum, Diversity, Lab Professionals, MakerSpaces, Robotics, and Leadership/New Chair Training to serve as a resource for ECE departments and industry decision makers nationwide.

Dedicated Working Groups in these subject matters deliberate on future challenges led and supported by ECE departments. This effort will have an enormous impact not only across ECE departments, but will have significant economic impact for steering the intellectual capital of ECE departments towards 21st century grand challenges for the nation.

ECEDHA Working Groups are staged to create the following:

  • Visioning workshops on specific national priorities that assemble scientific leaders to develop white papers and roadmaps

  • Leadership and training programs for ECE researchers and educators, designed to facilitate a diverse workforce

  • An online repository, website, event listing, and online community

  • Collaboration with relevant organizations (e.g. NSF and CCC) in order to develop interdisciplinary and interagency roadmaps

  • A broader public understanding of ECE research and its impact

Research and education in ECE has had a profound impact on the economy, creating entirely new industry sectors, thousands of global companies, and hundreds of millions of jobs. ECEDHA's Corporate Partners will play a key role in shaping the research conversation, workshops, white papers, and outreach to government partners.
