The diversity ofdisciplinary homes of the scholars who engage in engineering education research mightresult in lower degrees of scholarly communication and collaboration across an area ofstudy8. Developing a map of the field of blended learning in engineering education couldidentify future directions for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. This map couldalso help to identify emerging disciplinary fractures.Defining blended learningBlended learning and instruction are ill-defined in research studies9 .

self-scrutiny over the recent years as engineering. Government commissions,accreditation agencies, and professional organizations – to name just a few stakeholders – haveworked hard to identify needed competencies and to translate these needs into curricula,pedagogies, and learning activities. The explosion of journal articles on reform-drivenengineering education over the past decade attests to the heightened awareness. In the UnitedStates alone, several influential policy studies offer cogent views of how engineers will work inthe not-too-distant future. A common theme is the call for increasing collaboration amongindustry and academia in the reinvention of engineering education.1-4.Digital Literacy and Engineering Competencies for the 21st

It is a well-documented cause of attrition throughout the discipline, one towhich those from backgrounds already underrepresented in computing are particularlyvulnerable. Though no silver bullet exists, collaborative work and learning strategies (such aspair programming) are a well-researched, commonly-practiced means of deterring this sense ofisolation.
