prototype version of Earthquake.8.1.3. Design phaseThe completed prototype was included as an activity in a science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) teacher workshop. This professional development workshop for secondaryschool teachers was held in the summer of 2012. Fourteen teachers (n=14) from across the U.S.volunteered to play the game and participate in a subsequent group-interview. We video-recorded four game groups of teachers. After playing the game, we then facilitated theparticipation of each group in an audio-recorded 30 minute interview to capture their playingexperiences. Open-ended research questions guided discussions about mechanics andeducational relevance: What did you learn about earthquake engineering from playing

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

) Develop newcourses for engineers that integrate liberal arts using FLCs.KeywordsLiberal arts, engineering education, faculty learning communities, general engineering paths,sustainabilityIntroductionEngineers are charged with creating, developing and implementing technological solutions tocontemporary challenges, and innovating solutions for tomorrow’s. Yet, engineering training isprimarily focused on comprehension of the mathematical, physical and sometimes, chemicalequations governing the behavior of systems and their components and applications of these,often with little attention to humanistic inquiry. This can lead to engineers who are not trained tothink critically about human and social dimensions of challenges nor integrate them fully

Although the kits were different according totraining session and grade level, it is important to note that EiE workshops emphasize thatalthough the science content may change from one EiE curriculum kit to the next, thephilosophies behind understanding the nature of technology and the engineering design processare consistent across kits. Further, each EiE curriculum kit follows the same structure, whichmakes it easy for teachers to learn one kit and then translate this knowledge to another. Tomaximize shared resources, the purchased kits and refill materials were made available forcheckout at the Interlocal Cooperative so participating teachers could continue
