Supporting Collaboration in the ClassroomAbstractIn recent years, many applications have become available for supporting collaborationbetween students in a course. This presentation offers an overview of several of them, sothat new engineering educators can judge which they might be interested in adopting. All ofthe tools discussed are free for instructors and their students, at least at the entry level. Wefirst discuss applications (Twitter and Live Question) for sharing questions and answersamong students and between instructor and students during a class. For out-of-classquestions, the social-networking application Piazza is powerful and easy to use.PollEverywhere and ChimeIn are two applications that let the instructor send questions tothe

education research and strategies for success. In thispaper, we provide an overview on storytelling, describe our use of stories for buildingcommunity in engineering education, and summarize results from the evaluation of ourinteractive FIE storytelling session.IntroductionThe engineering education research community is evolving. Some evidence of this is the growthof capacity building programs such as year-long mentored or collaborative researchexperiences[1-4] and departments of engineering education (e.g., Purdue University, VirginiaTech). At a smaller scale are workshops and interactive sessions at engineering educationconferences that focus on research skill development [5-7]. Venues for disseminating engineeringeducation scholarship are also
-departmental camaraderie,community and collaboration and the formation of new cohorts. COE Faculty Development planned NSF IGERT workshops with express purpose ofconnecting faculty across the university with former IGERT directors and other NSF IGERTgrant recipients. The goal of the workshops was to create interdisciplinary connections betweenIGERT grantees and those seeking IGERT grants. A National Science Foundation (NSF)program established the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT)program in 1997. It currently consists of over 125 award sites that consistently deepens theinterdisciplinary knowledge, experiences, and professional and academic skills of AmericanPh.D. scientists, engineers, and educators.

She obtained her B.S. in Electrical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005. Her Ph.D. work at Stan- ford University focused on optoelectronics, and she continues that work in her position at the Colorado School of Mines, primarily with the involvement of undergraduate researchers. In her role as an Associate Teaching Professor, she is primarily tasked with the education of undergraduate engineers. In her courses

An intellectually stimulating environment ismaintained through research and interaction with graduate students and professional colleagues.The teaching load is relatively light and is supported by graduate students.

provide a series of symposia that will facilitate learning, broaden collaboration, andpromote dissemination of pioneering engineering education research and practice. The targetaudience for the symposia series is faculty members within 15 years of receipt of their doctoraldegrees. The inaugural Frontiers of Engineering Education (FOEE) symposium was held inNovember 2009. NAE solicited nominations from engineering deans and its membership, andthose nominated were invited to complete an on-line application. Approximately two-thirds ofthose nominated actually applied, and approximately one-third of the applicants (49) wereaccepted to the inaugural symposium. This paper summarizes the intent and initial outcomes ofthe 2009 FOEE symposium. It is
