Better Faster Learning
Long-form feature on learning engineering for a broad audience, profiling CMU/ICICLE-aligned work and the case for evidence-based instructional improvement at scale.
Designing for Transfer: Developing a Skill-Based Simulation Using Learning Engineering Design Frameworks
MODSIM paper on building a skills simulator with transfer as the explicit design target. Good example of LE-in-defense-adjacent training contexts where simulators are the primary medium.
Learning Engineering at a Glance (Army Press, 2023)
Short military-facing overview connecting LE concepts to mission-critical workforce training and high-consequence performance contexts.

Advancing Workforce Learning through Learning Engineering
On October 23rd, 2025, the ICICLE Workforce Market Interest Group (MIG) led a webinar on Advancing Workforce Learning through Learning Engineering. The MIG co-chairs, DJ Jaeger and John Costa, explored how learning engineering supports workforce transformation through data-informed design, system-level thinking, and evidence-based practices that link learning to performance outcomes.
Applying Learning Engineering in Mission-Critical Environments
The IEEE ICICLE Government and Military Market Interest Group (MIG) led by MIG co-chairs, Eric Ultes and Jason Virtue, held on July 18th, 2025, explored how learning engineering can address learning transfer challenges in mission-critical settings and support evidence-informed training, innovation, and performance through a case study featuring Kevin Owens from the Applied Research Laboratories at the University of Texas, a U.S. Department of Defense University Affiliated Research Center (UARC).
Crazy Idea: What If We Use Engineering to Develop and Deliver Engineering Education?
Goodell in conversation with Azad (IFEES) on the provocative inverse of our normal framing: if LE is how we rigorously teach people to engineer, why don't we use LE to teach engineering itself? A 2025 entry worth watching for the international-engineering-education perspective.

Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative (ADL)
DoD-funded learning-technology R&D center. Birthplace of SCORM and xAPI. Substantial overlap with the ICICLE Government/Military MIG; they co-sponsor iFEST each year.
