Creating thisworkshop was a good first step into gaining experience in creating a lecture and communicatingwith different parts of the school. Having a collaborative team building experience was also animportant graduate career goal. Co-leading the workshop increased Nadra’s confidence in herteaching style and helped to pinpoint areas that required improvement.H´ector’s motivations for conducting this workshop were to practice knowledge sharing acrossdifferent disciplines and to put engineering education research into practice.

We believe thatthe REEFE experience not only enhances engineering education graduate students’ professionaldevelopment, but also enhances the engineering education research-practice cycle1. To this end,the program is intended to provide graduate student participants the chance to utilize theirengineering education expertise while experiencing the day-to-day activities associated withbeing a faculty member. The program also encourages existing faculty members

their discipline.The field of engineering education offers a new context that requires an interdisciplinaryapproach involving knowledge of engineering curriculum, pedagogy, students, and educationalknowledge pertaining to learning sciences. While it is commonly related to education andengineering perspectives, recent studies have required collaboration between the fields ofcomputer science, business, management, and information science among others [5]. Theinterdisciplinary nature of this new field offers a challenge to doctoral students seeking toachieve a degree in the field. One of these challenges becomes apparent when forming doctoralcommittees that include members capable of directing and supporting students to the successfulcompletion of

According tothe Engineering Education Community Resource Wiki which was created by the ASEE StudentDivision (SD) in collaboration with the Center for Engineering Learning & Technology (CELT),just over 15 programs currently offer a graduate degree in engineering education or a closelyrelated field (for a up-to-date listing of these programs, visitengineeringeducationlist.pbworks.com).8 Paralleling this growth, is an increasing number ofengineering education positions.

Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches in engineering education havebeen shown to benefit students in learning to: (1) work effectively with people who are fromdifferent disciplinary backgrounds, and (2) understand and appreciate how the nature ofknowledge from other academic disciplines, especially when the disciplines are fundamentallydifferent, can affect collaboration and problem solving [5], [6]. This multidisciplinary approachis highly valued by the National Science Foundation (NSF), who emphasize that
