Those papers emphasize three critical areas: Learning in and out of the classroom; The pathways to studying engineering, retention, and diversifying learning community; and Using technology to enhance learning and engagement.The NSF is committed to establishing and the engineering education community is in need of aresearch agenda focused on propagating documented innovations. To most effectivelyaccomplish this, it is necessary to capture needs and potential solutions through a number ofdifferent approaches that actively involve the larger engineering education community. As suchthis work addresses four major questions.1. What accomplishments have been produced to date? What new innovations have occurred over

By “representation”, it is meantthat some visual symbol (often simple in nature), diagram, or other communication device isemployed to represent or model a more complex “real” object. Often the represented object is infact “real”. For example, a mechanical engineering text may present a simple diagram intendedto represent an actual pump (see Figure One).

He thenworks to define engineering through the ethical considerations of the profession. Additionally,to define engineering, he differentiates it from science. In a workshop given to scientists andengineers, he asked whether they would rather “invent something useful” or “discover newknowledge” 16. The scientists had a hard time answering and ended up split in their decision,while all of the engineers chose something useful. Therefore, he claims, “The primarycommitment of engineers is not to knowledge, theoretical or applied, as one would expect ofscientists, but to human welfare” 17. He concludes that engineers believe they are
