Page 24.279.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Collaboration within Engineering Education Research’s Community of PracticeAbstractEngineering education research (EER) is a relatively young field of inquiry, established with theintent to improve the academic experiences of young and emerging engineers. While manyresearchers’ perceptions of how to improve engineering education stem from traditionalclassroom experiences, a select group of researchers belong to EER-oriented departments, labs,and research centers. These on-campus resources create a formal bridge between EER-expertnetworks and offer researchers an opportunity to collaborate with other like-minded
