Creating a Culture for Scholarly and Systematic Innovation in Engineering Education

Dear Colleague:

Welcome! Please join us in a conversation on creating a more vibrant U.S. engineering academic culture through scholarly and systematic innovation in engineering education.

This conversation began in June 2006 when the American Society for Engineering Education launched an initiative, “Advancing the Scholarship of Engineering Education: A Year of Dialogue,” involving discussions within the society on the role and importance of educational scholarship to ensure the long-term excellence of U.S. engineering education. We are now expanding the conversation to include the broader U.S. engineering community and other national and international stakeholders in engineering education by seeking their advice and ideas about the recommendations and suggested actions contained in the report, “Creating a Culture for Scholarly and Systematic Innovation in Engineering Education (PDF: 6.91MB).”

We are gathering input and feedback in two ways: (1) from a sample of engineering programs and engineering education-related organizations, and (2) from the community-at-large through this Web site.  Please send us your comments at https://survey.vt.edu/survey/entry.jsp?id=1246889619555.  A second and final report will be issued in 2010 incorporating the results of this year-long dialogue.

The project team invites you to join us in this important conversation!  We have a timely opportunity to make our already world-class engineering programs even better.

Sincerely,
Leah H. Jamieson, Purdue University
