This engineering education CAREER project proposes to examine the governance of Colleges of Engineering to determine if they behave as learning organizations. Based on the framework developed by Senge the PI will work with engineering colleges and departments to develop a rubric that will allow them to self-reflect, make governance decisions that benefit the organization, the faculty, and the students and continuously improve. Upon the development of this rubric the PI will then conduct studies at varying types of institutions to determine if a correlation exists between governance structures and the intellectual development of engineering students. The work will assist engineering educators in understanding the intellectual development of their students, with a goal of aiding engineering educators and curriculum developers in deploying practices to increase this development. This work opens new avenues of research combining the fields of engineering management and engineering education.

这个工程教育职业生涯项目建议检查工程学院的治理，以确定他们是否表现为学习型组织。 基于Senge开发的框架，PI将与工程学院和部门合作开发一个规则，使他们能够自我反思，做出有利于组织，教师和学生的治理决策，并不断改进。 在制定这一规则后，PI将在不同类型的机构进行研究，以确定治理结构与工程专业学生的智力发展之间是否存在相关性。这项工作将帮助工程教育工作者了解学生的智力发展，目标是帮助工程教育工作者和课程开发人员部署实践以提高这种发展。这项工作开辟了新的研究途径，结合工程管理和工程教育领域。
