This paper details the emergence and development of the ‘Centre for Engineering and Design Education’ (CEDE) at Loughborough University, UK, and provides a blueprint for success. With ample evidence that such a Centre can prove to be a highly effective support mechanism for discipline-specific academics and can develop and maintain valuable national and international networks and collaborations along with considerable esteem for the host university. The CEDE is unique in the UK and has achieved considerable success and recognition within the local engineering education community and beyond for the past 16 years. Here we discuss the historical background of the Centre’s development, the context in which it operates, and its effective management and operation strategy. The success it has enjoyed is described through examples, with much evidence of the generation of a significant amount of external funding; the development of high quality learning spaces; learning technology systems, open source software and improvements in curriculum design; a strong record of research and publication on the pedagogy of engineering; strong links with industry and employers; and a wealth of connections and know-how built up over the years. This paper provides the institutions with a model blueprint for success in developing engineering education.

The Web

In this paper we focus on an approach to make web-based design engineering courseware accessible for the engineering education community. The proposed approach uses a distributed database driven web server where design courseware, or “CDEN Modules”, are organized by topic and tier. We provide a description of the basic architecture that is used for the web server and an example of an interface that is based on this approach.

Canadian Research

Given the growth of the engineering education community in Canada, we argue that a research agendathat reflects our own identity and interests is needed. To start this conversation, we conducted a content analysis of the 2019 CEEA-ACEG conference proceedings to investigate the implicit Canadian research agenda for engineering education. We analyzed five characteristics: publications’ stream, level of collaboration, authors’ affiliations and, more importantly, their research topicsand areas. We found that the Canadian EER community is very practice-oriented, collaborative and that mostuniversities were represented at the conference. Also, seven main research areas were identified: Assessment,Teaching and Learning, Students, Faculty, Organizational, Engineering Education Discipline, and Philosophy of Engineering. Among these areas, Teaching and Learning is, by far, the one that received the most attention.

Shed Light

In this paper, Engineering Education as a discipline has been analyzed by taking IEEE Transactions on Education (IEEE T Educ) as a case; to examine the various trends that have been emerging over time. Based on various criteria of authorship and citation, an effort is made to highlight the main contributors or top authors of this engineering education community. It was found that authorship trends have been shifting more towards collaboration. It was also found that the authorship community is growing, both in terms of publications and publishing authors. Study of citation patterns during the last decade, reveals a high citation count per article, which indicates a high readership of this journal. Later, the study of authorship and citation patterns shed light on the trend that multi-author articles are cited more often than single-author articles. This study was compared with earlier studies in the field of Engineering Education Research (EER) using keyword analysis and temporal evolution and distribution of keywords. Additionally key-phrase and topic modeling was performed to identify leading and evolving research areas within the EER., Analysis of word co-occurrence was performed to discover the main context in which the keywords have been used. Lastly, topic modeling techniques were applied for probabilistic distributions of IEEE topics and the results were in line with earlier studies.

Education Community

It seems to be almost an axiom within the engineering education community that the needs of industry should guide the engineering curriculum. On occasion other potential guides, such as the economy, innovation, or the engineering profession are proposed and debates about which guide to follow are undertaken. Thus far in the debate, discussion of the role and responsibilities of such guides appears absent. This paper outlines a number of the more recent discussions of who should guide engineering education, proposes a model to assess the suitability of a potential guide, and asserts that neither industry nor the engineering profession are suitable guides.
