inengineering schools and relatively little has changed in the past 20 years. Innovation inengineering education will require both faculty members and education researchers collaborateto work on and maintain change such that the practice of teaching informs engineering educationresearch and vice versa. This change must be driven by faculty and administrators in engineeringschools 3, which suggests that these individuals must gain the knowledge and develop the skillsand abilities necessary to produce and support change. With this in mind, we held a workshop forrepresentatives of engineering schools who have made significant changes. The goal of theworkshop was to learn from these successful change leaders to inform our efforts at developing abroad

Conference10.Liaisons have already been identified from important groups such as the Engineering DeansCouncil and Engineering Technology Council specifically directed to the SPEED activity.Invited speakers are already being gathered to present at a mini-plenary session at the 2010ASEE Annual Conference. A special SPEED Advisory Council is already in place whichrepresents some of the most respected minds in engineering education.The first major dissemination point to present the implementation details of SPEED, includingspecific performance criteria for the SPEED program as well as the logistical details associatedwith implementing a SPEED program at the Pilots, will be during a future ASEE AnnualConference. Feedback will be encouraged at this point
