Panel Session - Future of FIE: Where are we and where do we want to go?

To provide a framework for discussing the future of the Frontiers in Education (FIE) conference while recognizing the contributions of a diverse group of participants with different interests and needs, the FIE06 organizers added a category section for submissions to FIE06. These included scholarly teaching, scholarship of teaching and learning, engineering education research, and other. The categories were intended to represent a continuum but not to be hierarchical. High quality contributions from all categories are encouraged and important. In this panel session, the distribution of papers in these categories for FIE05 and FIE06 will be presented. Panel participants will then assess where FIE is now and facilitate a discussion among interested FIE06 participants of where FIE is now, what the unique and valuable aspects of the conference are, and where the FIE community would like to go
