The workshops brings together scholars in the area of the learning sciences, engineering education, and mathematics and science education, with mutual interest in theoretical issues related to how people learn engineering.

There is increased activity in the engineering education community since the seminal issue of Journal of Engineering Education in 2005. Many scholars are now engaged in research on different aspects of educating engineers including organizational and institutional issues, faculty training, teacher preparation, and so on. Our aim is to focus on an area with relatively little work – learning issues related to engineering. We hope to develop an understanding of engineering learning based on core concepts of learning. ICLS2010 is an apt venue given the wide representation of learning sciences researchers and the focus of this year’s conference on learning in the disciplines. The workshop will culminate a short report and in planning of an edited volume on the topic of engineering learning.

The final contributions to the workshop and list of participants is available here.
