Another factor is that thestrong linkages with industry in developing and delivering the curriculum naturally lead tointeractions between teaching, practice, and research. Identified gaps of knowledge lead toideas for new research studies, and this and the overall work help set priorities for future work.The background of students the authors have taught in some of the subjects listed earlier differssubstantially from those found in a traditional aerospace engineering graduate program centeredon research degree tracks.

This in turn has resulted insignificant variation in CoP implementations, from apprenticeships and small group convenings,to large-scale online networks and top-down knowledge management efforts [12], [13]. Thehomogenized use of the term serves to belie the variations of “knowing in action” [14] and cansubsequently leave faculty development practitioners unclear on how best to design their ownCoP initiative.
