Now, she said, "engineering educators are learning we don't operate in a vacuum; any exposure to real-life problems is great."

The second element of change relates to the way engineers and engineering educators perceive themselves and their role.

The data shows that the number of chemistry and physics educators (29,610) nearly equals the number of engineering educators (29,310).

Many engineering educators see service learning as the solution to several prevalent problems in engineering education today.

Today, many engineering educators are concerned their students do not receive enough practical knowledge of engineering and its context.

Engineering Learning Systems: Research on the instructional culture, institutional infrastructure, and epistemology of engineering educators.

It is sponsored by Hewlett-Packard and is bestowed annually upon an outstanding young electrical engineering educator.

It was awarded to "a young engineering educator of outstanding ability to recognize and encourage his or her contributions to improving engineering teaching".

Twenty-two regional advisors, each a prominent engineering educator, served without pay as coordinators.

Such a step by the country's most prestigious techological institute would add to the debate among engineering educators over whether the four-year engineering degree is still viable.
