The rapid growth of engineering education as a field of rigorous research has resulted in an explosion of available data and research results. There are numerous research efforts currently underway that gather data on a variety of topics that have the potential to help us better understand how students learn engineering. However, there are currently no easy methods to synthesize research results, share research data, and indeed validate research studies effectively. In general, topics related to data and data sharing are largely treated as taboos in the engineering education research space. Data sharing mechanisms to enable fundamental research in engineering education that has the potential to address systemic problems have not yet been clarified. The research goal of this paper is to identify and understand patterns for data sharing mechanisms in order to inform design requirements for data sharing practices and infrastructure in engineering education.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
