Joint Editors' Introduction to the Special Report "Development of a Taxonomy of Keywords for Engineering Education Research"

As the engineering education literature has proliferated across disciplines and continents, the growing number of publications has become difficult to navigate. Recognizing the need to better find and organize publications, authors, and reviewers, Doctors Cindy Finelli and Maura Borrego led an inclusive effort to develop a taxonomy of engineering education terms from a United States perspective. They conducted workshops in several countries and drew on our expertise in an advisory capacity. The resulting taxonomy has the potential to connect engineering education scholarship worldwide.We are pleased to jointly publish this report on the development of the taxonomy, to reach all of our journals' audiences.
