Expanding Global Engineering Education Research Collaboration

（59）该项目的目标是通过推荐最有可能从美国与国际合作中受益的研究领域，并通过举办研讨会促进这种互动，将美国人与工程教育研究领域的国际合作者联系起来。在传统的工程研究领域，国际合作已经围绕特定的主题发展起来，但由于工程教育研究是一个相对较新的领域，国际合作尚未发展起来。项目团队正在分析会议出版物，以确定具体的工程教育研究领域，这些领域将受益于美国和其他国家或地区的研究人员之间强有力的智力合作和伙伴关系。正在通过比较出版物分析选择这两三个领域，并利用这一分析为为期两天的国际讲习班确定一个具有互补研究优势的国际地点。该项目为9名美国研究人员前往国际地点提供支持。一个小型初步咨询委员会正在审查出版物分析结果，以推荐讲习班的题目和研究专家；然后，另一个内容专家顾问委员会计划研讨会的具体方面，包括议程、邀请、评估和传播。评估工作在研讨会结束时使用参与者调查，并长期跟踪共同作者和提案模式。研究结果通过《工程教育杂志》的一份出版物进行传播，该出版物描述了比较文献分析，并通过围绕特定工程教育研究领域的美国-国际合作，导致联合出版物和提案。更广泛的影响包括由此产生的国际合作，通过出版物传播结果，以及使代表人数不足的群体的个人参与咨询委员会的具体努力。

Engineering - Other (59)The goal of this project is to connect Americans with international collaborators in engineering education research by recommending research areas most likely to benefit from American-international collaboration and by hosting a workshop to facilitate this interaction. Within traditional engineering research areas, international collaborations have developed around specific topics but, since engineering education research is a relatively new area, international collaborations have not yet developed. The project team is analyzing conference publications to identify specific engineering education research areas that would benefit from strong intellectual collaboration and partnerships between researchers in the U.S. and one other nation or region. The two or three areas are being selected through a comparative publication analysis, and this analysis also is being used to identify one international location with complementary research strengths for the 2-day international workshop. The project is providing support for nine American researchers to travel to the international location. A small initial advisory board is reviewing the publication analysis results to recommend the workshop topics and research experts; then a different, content expert advisory board is planning specific aspects of the workshop including agenda, invitees, assessment, and dissemination. Evaluation efforts are using participant surveys at the end of the workshop and long term tracking of co-authorship and proposal patterns. Results are being disseminated by a publication in the Journal of Engineering Education describing the comparative document analysis and through the American-international collaborations around specific engineering education research areas leading to joint publications and proposals. Broader impacts include the resulting international collaborations, dissemination of the results through publications, and specific efforts to involve individuals from underrepresented groups on the advisory board.
