Purpose
- The program, sponsored by the National Science
Foundation and the University of Idaho, advances practices and
knowledge for creating enriched
learning environments in engineering education
contexts. The overarching question that drives this program
is this--how does one going about designing a high-performance and
compelling environment for people?
Approach
- The approach we have followed is to create three communities of practice and
then apply social science research practices to explore the common features
of effective communities.
Communities of Practice
- The current communities of practice that we've
created are:
-
Scholars
Community--A interdisciplinary community of professors and graduate
students interested in transformational change in education in a variety
of contexts.
-
Mentors
Community--A community of professors and peer-mentors who create an
enriched learning environment in a sophomore level engineering design
course.
- Mindworks--A community of professors
and students who have a passion for machine design.
Lessons Learned
- The major findings of this project are...
