Special Session
Collaboration between Engineering and Education Faculty
Papers emphasizing the collaborative activities between engineering faculty and education faculty targeted at improving engineering pedagogy are invited. In recent years, a number of efforts have been made to increase the level of interaction among engineering and education faculty members to enhance engineering education with new pedagogy and learning theory research. For example, in the US the National Science Foundation has initiated a number of engineering education research and curriculum development programs that strongly encourage collaborative efforts between engineering and education faculties for applying latest research in learning theory and pedagogical concepts for improving engineering education. In fact, two major research universities in the US have recently created Engineering Education Departments within the College of Engineering. In addition to pursuing engineering education research, these departments are developing programs to offer graduate degrees in engineering education.
The key question to address in this session includes how to develop effective collaboration strategies between faculties of engineering and education resulting in enhancement of engineering education. Case studies describing results of application of advances in pedagogy and learning theory to engineering curriculum are particularly welcome. Critical review studies covering learning theory and latest pedagogical concepts that are relevant in the context of engineering education are also welcome.
