Based on these findings, the we propose a high-level conceptual framework ofgroup development specific to the development of collaborative communities aimed to supportresearch goals within engineering education. To confirm preliminary results, we are solicitingfeedback on the proposed conceptual framework.The field of Engineering Education is a relatively new discipline that has been growing innumber of researchers and students in recent years [2, 3]. Despite the recent development ofdepartments and degree-programs, many engineering education researchers lack supportstructures to contribute to their success and are often seen as lone wolves in their departments.Moreover, a number of issues including a

The practice of connecting projects across years,classes, and student cohorts, and further linking these projects to research interests of the faculty,is a model of education that could benefit members of a university system at all levels [2-3].Programs such as the KEEN network [4] have provided both the resources necessary to rethinktraditional curricula in engineering. Likewise, pedagogical training has reduced the activationenergy required to engage in active learning strategies, specifically open-ended, project basedlearning [5]. This educational model has been cited as one method to increase student motivation,curiosity, and ultimately understanding of how engineering truly fits into the world [6-7].
