This book, edited by ENE professor Alice Pawley (right) with Caroline Baillie and Donna Riley, is the first dedicated specifically to university professionals concerned with engineering and social justice. Its team of multidisciplinary authors includes ENE faculty, graduate students, and staff; a subset of the book's authors came together around the topic of engineering and social justice in a workshop held at Purdue in 2009.

The Spring 2010 issue of ENEws, the newsletter for the School of Engineering Education, is online.

Five years after its founding, the School of Engineering Education has a host of accomplishments to its credit.

The Wickenden Award will be presented at the 2009 ASEE Conference to Ohland, an ENE professor, and colleagues from Stanford, Olin College of Engineering, and Rose-Hulman for the Journal of Engineering Education article "Persistence, Engagement, and Migration in Engineering Programs."

The American Society for Engineering Education's scholarly journal featured in its past two issues six articles contributed by ENE faculty, while ASEE Prism's September issue highlights colleagues Karl Smith and Ruth Streveler's "Rigorous Research in Engineering Education" initiative.

Through seven recent NSF grants, ENE faculty are pursuing cyber-enabled teacher development, student-teamwork management systems, collaborative research methods, graphical user interface systems for student problem-solving, new pedagogical approaches to student modeling activities, and more.

The American Society for Engineering Education will honor these ENE faculty members and their co-authors with the William Elgin Wickenden Award for the journal article Engineering Design Processes: A Comparison of Students and Expert Practitioners at the organization's annual conference this June.

How to educate the "Engineer of 2020"? Ask our faculty, many of whom are featured in Purdue's Engineering Impact magazine in the cover story "Remaking Engineering Education" (Winter 2007-08).

Purdue’s Board of Trustees approved the appointment of David Radcliffe as the Epistemology Professor of Engineering Education.

Engineering Education is helping to build a community of scholars that use research to uncover how we learn so that America's future engineers are better prepared to keep pace with the changing nature of engineering, as featured in ASEE Prism (pdf).

Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) at Purdue is spotlighted in this ASEE PRISM article on service learning in engineering (pdf).

The Department of Engineering Education's role in shaping the new discipline of engineering education at the national level is highlighted in this Journal of Engineering Education editorial (pdf).

Engineering Education, now in its sophomore year, continues its trendsetting pace. ENE was the first in the nation to establish an academic department dedicated to the scholarly pursuit of engineering education and the first to establish graduate programs in engineering education—11 graduate students joined the department for the fall 2005 semester. Now, true to its pioneering nature, ENE has welcomed three leading scholars to its faculty.

ENE and its future home in the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering get the limelight in this front page Indianapolis Star article, which hit the stands on Homecoming 2004.
