below are copied from Engineering education research

intro section as it currently reads in the article:

Engineering education research (EER) is the field of inquiry that creates knowledge which aims to define, inform, and improve the education of engineers. It achieves this through research on topics such as: epistemology, policy, assessment, pedagogy, diversity, amongst others, as they pertain to engineering.

policy section as it currently reads in the article:

"Policy
In the United States, there has been a greater push for development of formal policy for educating engineers. In 1918, the Mann Report noted an imminent lack of qualified engineers that could rapidly enter the workforce. There should be more hands-on experience, engineering educators should have practical work experience, and teaching should be more prominent even though research is also important. In 1955, the Grinter report specifically outlined undergraduate and graduate level engineering studies. Since then, some of these suggestions, including the senior capstone design course, have been implemented in public and private engineering institutions."

My edits to paragraph 2 in the policy section:

Engineering education policy applied to program requirements and curricula is externally driven to some degree. ABET accreditation has incorporated industrial demands as part of the college and university program accreditation process. ABET EC 2000 emphasizes both technical (design, problem solving) and professional skills (teamwork, communication, ethical/global thinking). In 2021, Deans from Big 10+ University Colleges of Engineering wrote a letter of support to ABET to urge more specific criteria in the general assessment related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

my edits below pasted into the globalization section:

Globalization
According to Borrego and Bernhard, international collaborations are developing in an effort to create global competencies in engineering students. Engineering global competency is the possession of "the knowledge, ability, and predisposition to work effectively with people who define and solve problems differently than they do." Educational programs that emphasize global engineering competencies research the development and assessment of global competency within the engineering practice.

Examples of programs in global engineering competency include:


 * The Global Engineering Program at Purdue University
 * Erasmus mundus (student centric global program)
 * Global Engineering Programs at Stanford University
 * Tokyo Institute of Technology Global Engineering for Development, Environment and Society
 * Global Engineering Engagement at Penn State
 * Global Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology
 * Institute of International Education Global E3
 * Texas A&M Global Programs
 * University of Colorado Boulder Global Engineering

More examples are listed in Global Engineering Education. R&D departments in transnational companies also contribute to international educational research. There are various methods or metrics that have been proposed for assessing competency in global and cultural competence and how it impacts engineering education.

--> question for class - what to do about linking to a wiki article that "has multiple issues"

My general notes:

This wiki article is a bit outdated and seems to include mostly the origins of engineering education research but not enough detail on where the field currently stands, no information on current graduate programs in the field, and no details about the work being performed in this field, especially from a policy perspective on how EER can and has shaped engineering programs.
