摘要：Engineering education is a recognized field of research and inquiry that draws on a number of established disciplines to enhance the practice and teaching of engineering. Within the last ten years, some universities in the U.S. and abroad have developed engineering education graduate programs with an emphasis on drawing from the education discipline in particular. These programs range in scope from those in which graduate students maintain a technical area of expertise alongside a focus on pedagogy to more interdisciplinary collaborations with education faculties. In Canada, such programs are still in development and the more recent movement towards outcomes-based assessment in engineering schools to satisfy changing accreditation requirements, has further mobilized an institutional interest in teaching and learning processes. This paper reports on the evolution of such a program, combining the expertise of both engineering and education faculties at the University of Manitoba to achieve this synergy.
