The engineering study sought to develop multiple views of engineering programs in the U.S. with the goal of describing common teaching and learning practices in engineering education. The centerpiece of the study was in-depth case studies or portraits of six schools carefully chosen to represent different kinds of excellence in undergraduate engineering education. EDUCATING ENGINEERS is planned to be published by Jossey-Bass in 2008. Sheri Shepherd was the consulting scholar and lead investigator of the project. She was assisted by Kate Whitin.
