[CCoE Notice] [erm_div] Announcement: Workshop on Engineering Learning at ICLS 2010

[Fritz Claydon]

Call for Workshop Contributions

Workshop on
ENGINEERING LEARNING
http://www.engineeringlearning.org

Palmer House Hilton Hotel, Chicago, IL, USA June 28 2010

A preconference event of the
9th International Conference of the Learning Sciences
--------

Organizers: Aditya Johri (Virginia Tech) and Barbara Olds (Colorado
School of Mines)

The objective of this workshop is to bring together scholars in the area
of the learning sciences, engineering education, and mathematics and
science education, with mutual interest in theoretical issues related to
how people learn engineering.

There is increased activity in the engineering education community since
the seminal issue of Journal of Engineering Education in 2005. Many
scholars are now engaged in research on different aspects of educating
engineers including organizational and institutional issues, faculty
training, and teacher preparation. The aim of this workshop is to focus
on an area with relatively little work - learning issues related to
engineering. We hope to develop an understanding of engineering learning
based on core concepts of learning.
ICLS2010 is an apt venue given the wide representation of learning
sciences researchers and the focus of this year's conference on learning
in the disciplines. The workshop will culminate a short report and in
planning of an edited volume on the topic of engineering learning.

Proposals for participation are due April 2, 2010 and acceptance
notifications will be sent on April 8, 2010.

To participate in the workshop please send a submission outlining your
research
(2 pages) in the conference format to the organizers:
