Page 24.279.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Collaboration within Engineering Education Research’s Community of PracticeAbstractEngineering education research (EER) is a relatively young field of inquiry, established with theintent to improve the academic experiences of young and emerging engineers. While manyresearchers’ perceptions of how to improve engineering education stem from traditionalclassroom experiences, a select group of researchers belong to EER-oriented departments, labs,and research centers. These on-campus resources create a formal bridge between EER-expertnetworks and offer researchers an opportunity to collaborate with other like-minded

The approach is anchored in the following foundationalconstructs: • constructive alignment, • Bloom’s taxonomy, • learning organizations, and • a combination of collaborative, cooperative and collective learning.

scholarly paper will delve into a series of questions about the future of engineeringeducation including: What do various visions for the future of engineering education have in common? How are the various visions distinct from each other? How might the various engineering societies collaborate to realize their visions of engineering education in the future (perhaps through the AAES Working Group on Engineering Education)? Since 2020 is only six years away, is it time to take another look at the future of engineering education?In characterizing one aspect of a future state of civil engineering practice, ASCE’s roadmap toachieving Vision 2025 declares, “Civil engineering is universally recognized as a

, individual ability, and personal responsibilities are also a part ofthe intellectual strand. The institutional strand focuses on identity based on affiliation and rolewithin the university and field. There are also institutional structures, resources, andresponsibilities that have an important influence on the identity of an early academic. Thenetwork strand includes professional relationships, organizations, and collaborations thatcontribute to professional identity. The three strands allow for a rich analysis of the complexnature of identity and how it evolves through time.This framework was used in an engineering education doctoral dissertation9 to explore theexperience of graduate students in optics and photonics.

further information by reading articles and booksabout various empirically tested teaching methodologies.For these reasons, it is important to expose prospective engineering faculty toconstructive discussions of effective engineering education pedagogy and theory. In thepracticum course discussed in this paper, discussions about active learning approacheswere supplemented by relevant literature reading assignments. In addition, the GTAsreflected on their teaching practices and experiences to improve student learning. Thisallowed the GTAs to collaboratively analyze their implemented teaching methodologieswith their peers. This form of formative assessment further facilitated modification ofvarious active learning approaches to best fit in
