Given the ASEE Conference is only 3 days long, it figures I would have a schedule conflict. The Engineering and Public Policy Division, of which I am the chair, had a session at the same time as I was to present a paper somewhere else. So, I went the first part of the EPP session then went to do my portion of the paper presentation, then returned to the EPP session.

The paper presentation went fairly well but then ASEE is always a civil bunch. Time did go by quickly, however. We had 20 minutes and I thought that would be more than enough time but we only had time for one question. I shouldn’t have been surprised—I’ve done enough of these to know that time always passes faster than expected.
