Faculty may desire specific, concrete examples of how to apply different research-based practices in the courses they teach, rather than becoming an engineering educationresearcher themselves. At many universities, there may only be a handful of professors whoteach the same course, which makes forming a CoP problematic. To solve this problem, we havedeveloped Virtual Community of Practice (VCP), where participation is web-based. Page 24.1020.3Virtual Communities of PracticeA VCP offers

Inthe future, our intent is to propose the VLES concepts as a new addition to current secondaryeducation in the central valley to promote engineering and technology.

Industry advisory boards, employersurveys, and consulting subject matter experts are a few examples of this type of informationsharing.In this same vein, during my days in industry, I have found that many practicing engineers lookto academia as early adopters of the latest and greatest methodologies and technologies. Manyengineers view the academics with a sense that they are the ones doing truly advanced researchthat is out of the grasp of the more practically minded industry engineers.
