These studies have highlighted the importance of cross-disciplinary skills and student engagement in large-scale, real-world projects. Dr. Exter currently leads an effort to evaluate a new multidisciplinary degree program which provides both liberal arts and technical content through competency-based experiential learning.Iryna Ashby, Purdue University Iryna Ashby is a Ph.D student in the Learning Design and Technology Program at Purdue University with the research interests focused on program evaluation.

Educational Research and Methods

faculty learning communities can thrive and sustain themselves with avariety of models: ones that mimic, adapt, or diverge from the tightly integrated model describedabove. Within the engineering education community alone there are numerous successful modelscurrently in use. Many require limited commitment, bottom-up organization and no incentivizingbeyond faculty’s value for the community learning experience. By taking a closer, comparativelook at the breadth of faculty learning communities that exist in practice, we may provide acomplement to the existing learning community literature that helps to make faculty ensemblelearning more accessible to local problem-solvers and large-scale program-builders alike.In this paper we examine five learning

. Of the 135 EiE teachers who began the project, 114 completed the first year of datacollection. Of the 114, 73 taught the EiE curriculum to only one classroom of students duringyear 1, while 41 taught the EiE curriculum to two or more classrooms of students. In total, 3620students learned the EiE curriculum during the first year of the project. A subset of 26 E4 Project teachers were selected at the beginning of the first year of datacollection for close observation to gather qualitative data regarding teacher instruction, teacherfidelity of implementation, student engagement and teacher-student interactions. Theirclassrooms are “Case Study Sites” where E4 Project team members: video-record classroomactivity and student team group
