China's School of Future Technology (SFT) initiative represents a significant policy experiment to institutionalize IEE, offering a unique context to examine how organizational legitimacy is constructed amid tension between radical innovation and traditional academic norms.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Purpose</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This study investigates the mechanisms through which SFTs establish IEE within universities by examining how actors configure, create, maintain, and disrupt work to shape distinct institutionalization pathways, moving beyond curriculum design to explore program-level institutionalization.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>We conducted a longitudinal comparative case study of 12 SFTs from 2021 to 2024. Data drawn from 36 official annual progress reports were analyzed using a hybrid deductive-inductive coding approach guided by the Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) protocol. This enabled mapping of evolutionary trajectories and identification of distinct patterns of institutional work.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The analysis identified nine themes and revealed that institutionalization is not monolithic but manifests through four distinct pathways. Each pathway represents a unique strategic configuration of institutional work that evolves through a three-phase trajectory to balance the competing demands of educational innovation and institutional legitimacy effectively.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This study contributes a typology of IEE institutionalization by demonstrating that reform requires alignment of strategic pathways with specific institutional contexts. Crucially, we highlight that disrupting work is not merely destructive but a persistent mechanism necessary to prevent the decoupling of policy from practice. These findings provide a theoretical framework and practical implications for engineering educators navigating complex educational reforms.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Education","volume":"115 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148381140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Assessing interdisciplinary learning and knowledge: A state-of-the-art review and heuristic. <i>Journal of Engineering Education</i>, 115(2), e70062. https://doi.org/10.1002/jee.70062</p><p>The appendix of the above-cited article is an essential component of the paper and should have been published within the main article. However, due to an oversight, it was inadvertently published as a separate supporting information file in the original version. This has now been corrected by removing it from the supplementary material and including it at the end of this main article.</p><p>We apologize for the error.</p><p>Because our goal was to create a heuristic to help researchers and educators identify and select a tool for their research, the appendix table includes several columns that represent our judgement or analysis of how the tool could be used that goes beyond what was strictly presented in the article. The most applicable population column is our judgement of who the tool could be used for, which may be beyond the population studied in that article. The validation and reliability column reports what methods were described in the article to assess the aspects of validity and/or reliability of the tools. Not every article explicitly stated whether or not the analyses that were performed were intended to demonstrate instrument validity or reliability. Thus, selecting information to include in the validity and reliability column of the table involved some judgement on our part about whether or not these analyses could have contributed evidence for instrument validity and/or reliability. The level of effort and expertise needed to use column is our judgement of the relative amount of time, work, and subject matter expertise (SME) needed to use the tool. Where that column says only high or low, it indicates both high or low time/effort and SME needed. In cases where the amount of time/effort and SME are not the same level, a level is indicated for each. The type of research questions answered column is not verbatim the research questions posed in that article, but rather a broader extrapolated description of what questions other researchers and educators could explore with that tool. The appendix table is ordered from high to low effort/time and SME needed, with articles that use the same techniques grouped together, and then in chronological order within those groupings.</p>","PeriodicalId":50206,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Education","volume":"115 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jee.70071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148282049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These were not isolated experiences but patterned processes across time that positioned her on the outskirts. Engineering instructors' rhetoric reproduced exclusionary assumptions of who naturally belonged, positioning achievement as effortless and innate rather than developed. Belonging was not structurally cultivated but individually negotiated, shifting the labor from the institution and onto her. Kitatoi negotiated her sense of belonging by dissociating from the institutional environment that imposed a particular mold of engineers, focusing on her intellectual interest in the course topics and advocating for equitable treatment.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Her story advances our understanding of belonging as relationally produced, structurally mediated, and labor-intensive.
