Editorial Submissions

ESD Reports Winter 2005

ESD Reports Submission Guidelines

ESD Reports is an online newsletter designed to supplement the news articles and events listings posted on the ESD web site.

ESD Reports will be available electronically to the entire ESD Community, as well as the ESD Visiting Committee, ESD Alumni Advisory Council, Engineering Systems Symposium attendees, the President of MIT, Provost, Deans, and potential donors. A limited number of hard copies will also be printed.

Each edition of ESD Reports focuses on a specific theme that is central to ESD, such as leadership, the intellectual underpinnings of engineering systems, and diversity. A listing of upcoming ESD events, awards, honors, and books published is included in each edition. Miscellaneous articles are invited as well. Anticipated publication frequency is 2-3 times/year.

We invite your participation! Below are the themes, deadlines, and anticipated publication dates for our upcoming editions. Please let me know if you would like to submit an article and if there is any assistance the ESD editorial staff can provide. Happy to help!
