We welcome submissions for presentation at ISEC in the following categories: Papers (Full and Work-In-Progress), Posters by K-12 students (Extended Abstract only), Workshops, and Exhibits.

Your work must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

All submissions will go through rigorous peer-review.

Important ISEC Submission Details & Dates

Full and Work-in Progress (WIP) Papers

Papers on research on, methods of, and experience with integrating education (or interdisciplinary education) in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) studies are welcome! Suggested topics include:

- Integration of Education and Interdisciplinary Education in STEM

- Development and Implementation of policies to support Integrated STEM

- Engineering Activities in STEM

- Pre-College Initiatives and Outreach Program

- Diversity and Inclusion in STEM/STEAM from P-12 to higher Education

- Fundamental and Applied Research in Integrated STEM

- AI in Education

Your paper submission(s) will be one (or both) of the following:

- A work in progress (preliminary or initial stage of research/investigation) paper of 2 - 4 pages

- A full paper of 5 - 8 pages

There is no preliminary abstract phase for WIP or full papers.  Please adhere to these page limits within the conference template structure.  Papers that do not follow the template will be returned for reformatting without peer-review.

All submissions are made via EDAS.info.  For full and work-in-progress papers, post the PDF or Word document (no LaTeX) along with the author and abstract information.  For workshops, no separate document is needed — the information requested by EDAS, including the abstract, is sufficient.

Your work must not have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

All accepted submissions will be scheduled for presentation at the conference and included in the conference proceedings.  All accepted papers will be submitted for inclusion into IEEE Xplore. Workshop documents will not be submitted to Xplore.

K-12 Student Posters

Posters by K-12 students may feature student STEM/STEaM educational or research experiences.  Submit an Extended Abstract (maximum 2 pages) describing the content of your poster via EDAS.info for review, following the K-12 Poster template below.  Once accepted, students have the option of submitting an additional short paper for inclusion in conference proceedings.  Note that this paper is optional and NOT required. All authors of accepted posters should submit a PDF file, within a week of acceptance, of the posters in order to be included in the Xplore database. Posters should be in vertical (portrait) format and the dimensions should be 2 x 3 (24 inches x 36 inches) The size specification must be strictly adhered to. Choose font sizes which people can read from a few feet away. Posters should be mounted at the beginning of the day and be removed at the end of the last session. Any poster left behind will be discarded. The conference will supply materials for mounting posters on assigned poster boards. Author and/or co-author of the poster should be stationed by his/her poster during the poster session to engage the audience in technical discussion by presentations and answering questions. Authors of posters should interact with keynote speakers, paper/workshop presenters, and attendees to encourage visit to their posters. Authors may bring additional battery-operated audio/visual aids to enhance the presentation.

Call for Workshop Submissions

We welcome interactive and/or hands-on workshop proposals relevant to our conference as well as audience. We are particularly interested in activities and tools/technologies that promote integration of engineering design, problem-solving, or the concept of "making".

The workshop proposal should provide the title, topic, focus, proposed activities, and a short statement of presenter expertise, in an abstract of no more than 750 words. It should also include the name, affiliation and expertise of each presenter, contact information of the lead presenter, learning objective(s), and the target audience. Proposals are submitted to the workshop track on EDAS — see the submission link above; no separate document is required. Each workshop presenter is required to register for the conference. There are no papers associated with a workshop, and workshop documents are not submitted to IEEE Xplore.  Workshops are typically scheduled for 90 minutes.

Exhibits

Organizations wishing to exhibit at ISEC 2027 should express their interest by February 21, 2027. Potential exhibitors and sponsors are requested to send mail to ieee.isec@gmail.com. There are varying levels of sponsorship, which are listed on the Sponsors & Exhibitors page.
