There is agreement on the need for change in engineering education, but lacking are the motivation, knowledge, or skills to effect change. With that in mind, we held a workshop in June 2009 that sought to engage faculty members who are change leaders. Over the two-day workshop, we solicited their views on departmental and institutional challenges, the knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) necessary...
The Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education (CASEE) has collaborated with the council of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) engineering school deans to develop each school's capacity for rigorous engineering education research. As the project has drawn to a close, the schools were asked to provide written reports summarizing their activities, knowledge gained,...
The annals of research on engineering education website, containing research summaries and reflective essays written by authors of rigorous engineering education research articles, exists to build a collaborative community of engineering education researchers. This paper presents a preliminary examination of the challenges faced by the website in developing collaboration among researchers. Both quantitative...
The Strengthening HBCU Engineering Education Research Capacity (SHEERC) Project seeks to improve engineering education research capacity for engineering faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through their interaction and collaboration with engineering colleagues, as well as colleagues from other education and social science disciplines. This paper provides preliminary results...
The PR2OVE-IT (peer reviewed research offering validation of effective and innovative teaching) website (www.pr2ove-it.org) is a database that summarizes the available research on educational interventions designed to enhance student learning, retention, and professional success. It is intended to be a tool for translating education research on interventions into practical classroom use by engineering...
A workshop was held that brought together researchers from the fields of engineering education and sociology in order to examine what is known, and what needs to be known, about the social dynamics of campus change, specifically within engineering colleges. The goal of the cross-disciplinary working group was to develop a research agenda that will provide a context for examining the social and organizational...
In this work a model of the engineering education pathway from middle school, through high school and through the completion of the B.S. degree in engineering is proposed. The model incorporates the closed-loop infrastructure of earlier models and extends the feedback control loops which characterize external recruitment and retention efforts. A perturbation analysis of the system parameters indicates...
This paper describes the process of developing two survey instruments student and faculty versions to assess the extent to which engineering students are engaged in identified "best instructional practices" in engineering education and achieving certain learning outcomes desired of engineering graduates. Drafts of the survey instruments will be completed by July 2005 and piloted at a single...
