what it is missing.While there is an extensive body of research in the field of engineering education, a concisedefinition of the signature pedagogy of engineering has yet to be articulated. Historically, themost common form of teaching in engineering is the lecture, augmented with laboratories9. Topaint a fuller picture of the signature pedagogy of engineering, it is instructive to look atinstruction techniques being discussed at recent ASEE conferences. This study is limited to thesurface structural dimension.MethodThis study uses a grounded theory approach and a method of open and axial coding ofeducational practices reported in ASEE conference proceedings.
