COI 4: Learning Engineering: A New Academic Discipline and Engineering Profession (Room 329)

This event provides an intersection of a large professional society (IEEE) and activities related to I/ITSEC professional disciplines. The goal of this panel is to develop recommendations regarding learning engineering as an academic and career field. Schools, colleges, and training departments are deploying more and more new technologies with the goal of improving learning and training effectiveness. The quantity and diversity of these technologies, and the increasingly ambitious pedagogical innovations being explored, has created a demand for engineers with special training in how people learn and how technology is used. These are called learning engineers. The panelists will share their ideas about why learning engineers are needed, what a learning engineer must know, the problems learning engineers solve, and how this will impact the Government training, education, and simulation community. This will provide insight to the I/ITSEC audience regarding: • Learning sciences, simulation, training, education, human factors • Learning engineering as an academic and career field • Learning-technology, international development efforts • Learning-technology, international standards Panelist point papers are available at:    https://www.dropbox.com/home/IITSEC%202019%20Learning%20Technologies%20Special%20Events/Learning%20Engineering
