Work in Progress: Strengthening Engineering Education Research at Historically Black Colleges and Universities

The Strengthening HBCU Engineering Education Research Capacity (SHEERC) Project seeks to improve engineering education research capacity for engineering faculty at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through their interaction and collaboration with engineering colleagues, as well as colleagues from other education and social science disciplines. This paper provides preliminary results of the effectiveness and impact of the ongoing professional development activities of the SHEERC Project on its HBCU engineering faculty participants by looking at their experiences at a one-week workshop focused on developing their skills in engineering education research
