FIE Interactive Poster Sessions - Institute for Scholarship on Engineering Education

Scholars of the Institutes for Scholarship on Engineering Education (ISEE) presented posters that described their year-long research projects at interactive sessions that were part of the 2005 and 2007 Frontiers in Education Annual Conferences (FIE).

The interactive sessions at the FIE Annual Conferences provided a forum for the Scholars of the 2004-05 and 2006-07 Institutes, members of the Institute team, and session attendees to share stories of their work as engineering educators and as engineering education researchers. The two sessions were each designed to have a specific focus. Each session also served as the concluding event (the Leadership Summit) for the Institute year.

2007 FIE Annual Conference, Special Session S1E:
Communities of Practice: How Do We Investigate Diversity and Global Engineering?)

Participants in this interactive session were guided through the following series of activities:

• An opening activity where participants were asked to think about diversity issues on their own campuses and share this with others in their group.
• Viewing of the CAEE Scholars’ posters on diversity issues where participants wrote down their thoughts and questions on “sticky” notes placed on the posters.
• Group discussion about what they learned from the posters in terms of what makes a good research question, and drafting and discussion of their own research questions.
• All participants then shared the results of their small group discussions regarding developing research questions around issues of diversity and the global engineer.
