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
