Similarly, many challenges face any attempt to foster change in engineering education, due to the various layers that make up the field. Looking at the evolution of engineering education research (EER) as a field and the individual pathways of engineering education researchers, EER scholars have discussed a model for engineering education reform that draws from Palmer's Movement Approach to change. This special session introduces Palmer's approach as a framework to look at reforms that have already occurred, and envision possible paths for action toward desired changes. © 2017 IEEE.engInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.info:eu-repo/semantics/conferencePaperEngineering researchChangeEngineering education reformsEngineering education researchMovement approach to changeOrganizational changeEngineering education2021-04-12Streveler R.A.Pitterson N.P.Smith K.A.Ortega-Alvarez J.D.10.1109/FIE.2017.8190528
