What is the Annals of Research on Engineering Education (AREE)?

• A web portal which links education researchers and practioners across engineering domains and between engineering and other disciplines;
• A discussion site for the community of researchers in engineering education and related disciplines;
• A collection of structured summaries of education research articles published in our participating journals;
• A collection of reflective essays on the process of doing education research; and
• A community-developed collection of resources on education research.

Issue Features:

• Each issue of AREE will feature one article and one resource. These are chosen to cover a wide range of topics and issues in education research over time.
• Universities are focusing more attention on life-long learning (LLL) and self-directed learning (SDL), however, recent research indicates traditional academic structures may not effectively promote SDL/LLL.  This work investigates whether the Worcester Polytechnic Institute's experiential Global Studies program is an effective vehicle for developing SDL and LLL.
• The featured resource  is a web survey designed to obtain feedback from the engineering education research community and will help us make continuous improvements to AREE.
