The field’s topical foci are also something of a moving target given a long and episodichistory of efforts to reinvent the form and content of engineering curricula. As the methods anddesired outcomes of engineering instruction change, so does the engineering education researchagenda. Further worth noting are rising pressures to relate research to practice, as reflected inmandates to identify the “broader impacts” associated with scholarly work in the field.This paper speaks to these challenges through the lens of our team’s recent experiences workingon a
