项目摘要

Over the past couple of decades, the engineering education research community has seen significant growth in terms of participation from ever increasing number of scholars, practitioners, and institutions. Akin to any maturing academic entity, the community is morphing from a relatively close-knit community of practice into what can be seen as a network of practice. The increase in number of participants and areas of study has brought with it the challenge of consolidating and synthesizing the knowledge and different voices in the field so that future work can be innovative and impactful. This project creates foundational knowledge in the form of a handbook that will help achieve this goal. Through a series of workshops, this project will bring together a broad range of participants engaged with engineering education who will contribute to the handbook. This confluence of scholars will also bring to light work that is published in journals, conferences, or books that are not necessarily the go-to sources although they are very relevant. This workshop brings together scholars who have not necessarily collaborated before thereby strengthening the field. The workshop catalyzes mentorship among senior and junior scholars and sharing of ideas among the community. The project contributes to the intellectual mission by addressing three objectives. First, a representative body of knowledge is co-produced through review of scholarship in the different areas of engineering education research. Second, to develop an inclusive and comprehensive handbook, this project maps the boundaries of engineering education research and the major areas of scholarship within the field. This is achieved through input from a broad range of participants and analysis of publications and working papers across journals and conferences. Finally, through its engagement of scholars that have traditionally not been represented in engineering education research, this effort will catalyze new scholarly collaborations and strengthen the network of practice by bringing together participants from different academic sub-communities, institutions, and nations in small teams to produce the chapters that will constitute the body of knowledge. The handbook produced as a result of this project will be released under the Creative Commons License and will be freely available to readers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

在过去的几十年里，工程教育研究界的学者、从业者和机构的参与度显着增长。与任何成熟的学术实体类似，该社区正在从一个相对紧密的实践社区转变为一个可以被视为实践网络的社区。参与者数量和研究领域的增加带来了巩固和综合该领域的知识和不同声音的挑战，以便未来的工作能够具有创新性和影响力。该项目以手册的形式创建了有助于实现这一目标的基础知识。通过一系列研讨会，该项目将汇集从事工程教育的广泛参与者，他们将为手册做出贡献。学者们的汇聚还将揭示在期刊、会议或书籍中发表的作品，这些作品虽然非常相关，但不一定是首选来源。该研讨会汇集了以前不一定合作过的学者，从而加强了该领域的发展。该研讨会促进了高级和初级学者之间的指导以及社区之间的想法分享。该项目通过实现三个目标来为智力使命做出贡献。首先，通过审查工程教育研究不同领域的学术成果，共同产生具有代表性的知识体系。其次，为了制定一本包容性和综合性的手册，该项目绘制了工程教育研究的边界和该领域内的主要学术领域。这是通过广泛参与者的意见以及对期刊和会议的出版物和工作论文的分析来实现的。最后，通过传统上没有参与工程教育研究的学者的参与，这项工作将通过将来自不同学术子社区、机构和国家的参与者聚集成小团队来促进新的学术合作并加强实践网络产生构成知识体系的章节。该项目产生的手册将在知识共享许可下发布，并将免费提供给读者。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
