]. Thistrend is expected given that over half of the nation’s higher education institutions are located incities, and over 90 percent of all U.S. college students attend college in a city [2].Our institution, The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), launched a Grand Challengeinitiative, under the visionary leaderships of the university’s President, Dr. Ray L. Watts. Thisinitiative aimed to address a problem that is large, complex, and multi-faceted, in order tosignificantly improve the quality of life for a great number of people. This initiative served as anopportunity to unite UAB’s activities (teaching, research, service) along with the capabilities ofpartnering organizations to solve large-scale problems. Our university provided
initial appeals to a wide range of engineering workplaces.As is likely anticipated by readers at this point, negotiating access to engineering workplaces toconduct our research on learning among new engineers has been a far greater challenge thanexpected. In what follows, we describe these challenges and attempt to put the difficulties into abroader context, both with respect to engineering as a profession and in terms of social scienceresearch that seeks to conduct direct, observational field research in certain kinds of settings.Perspectives on gaining access in ethnographic investigationsThe published texts in fields like sociology and anthropology about negotiating access to fieldsites is surprisingly sparse; a couple decades ago sociologist
communityAbstractEleven years ago two NSF-funded programs aimed at fostering the development of a Communityof Practice (CoP) among engineering education researchers, the Rigorous Research inEngineering Education (RREE) and the Institute for Scholarship on Engineering Education(ISEE), were initiated. Both programs ran from 2004 to 2006 and, although independently, werehighly complementary in terms of goals, design and impacts. The RREE and ISSE programsinvolved approximately 200 (147 RREE and 48 ISEE) faculty members in workshops and otherprofessional development learning experiences that helped them become aware of and learn howto navigate the nuances of conducting engineering education research (EER) that met thestandards of any scholarly field.While big-data

This includes identification of therequired equipment and process engineering components and their specifications.RemarksA biochemical experiment to produce clean fuel via the ethanol fermentation process has beendeveloped and tested at a very reasonable cost by undergraduate students as research projectssupervised by the laboratory instructor and the laboratory technical assistant

Initially, 50 most activefaculty were selected and divided into five groups of ten according to the results of theirplacement tests. Each group met twice a week for four academic hours of English throughoutthe whole academic year. The

This program features atwo-year research internship where urban high school students are matched with a graduatestudent mentor, and participate in STEM research during their junior year, the summer betweentheir junior and senior years, and their senior year.

The details of the study arefurther outlined in the following section.MethodologyApproachThis research is formulated on the basis of a study conducted with tertiary students at theUniversity of Limerick.

As a result, there has been an increase in the number ofprograms that support the implementation of evidence-based teaching practices, scholarship ofteaching and learning, and engineering education research. While these formal programs areundoubtedly valuable, developing these initiatives poses significant challenges for institutions.Moreover, a structured approach is limited in its potential for transformational change.
