An Invitation to Learning Engineering
The ICICLE community welcomes you to an Invitation to Learning Engineering webinar series. Whether you’re new to learning engineering or an experienced practitioner, these sessions offer something for everyone.
- Discover the World of Learning Engineering in Post-Secondary Contexts was held on 26th March 2025 and highlighted use cases with ICICLE Higher Ed Market Interest Group members, Marilu Lam-Herrera from CPA Western School of Business. and Lauren Totino and Aaron Kessler from MIT.
- Unlock the Learning Engineer in You on the application of learning engineering in a pK-12 context was held on 11th December 2024 and highlighted a use case from Carnegie Learning with Steve Ritter, Founder & Chief Scientist, Husni Almoubayyed, AI Engineering Manager, and Rae Bastoni, Senior UX Researcher.
What is ICICLE?
IEEE ICICLE is a volunteer professional organization committed to the development of Learning Engineering as a profession and as an academic discipline. ICICLE is part of the IEEE Standards Association’s (IEEE-SA) Learning Technology Standards Committee. ICICLE stands for International Consortium for Innovation and Collaboration in Learning Engineering.

What is Learning Engineering?
Learning Engineering is a process and practice that applies the learning sciences using human-centered design and engineering methodologies and data-informed decision making to support learners and their development.
What does ICICLE do?
Since its inception in 2017 ICICLE has evolved into a suite of opportunities for Learning Engineers to explore the range of technical, scientific, and policy matters around learning engineering as a process, practice and profession.
ICICLE holds monthly meetings (third Wednesday each month at 12:00 ET) where we engage with guest speakers who share their work in or related to learning engineering. Special Interest Groups on Design, Competencies and Curriculum, Tools, Higher Education, pK12, Graduate Students and Recent Graduates, and Corporate meet monthly to exchange ideas to apply and implement learning engineering and develop tools. ICICLE regularly participates on learning conferences across academia, government, industry and non-profit to talk about how learning engineering process improves and enhances learning experiences.
We invite the community to learning engineering conferences. The first learning engineering conference was in 2019 with participants across sectors to discuss the trends across the field. We’ve had conferences in 2022, 2023 and 2024.
Sign up for the IEEE ICICLE mailing list to keep up with everything related to the Consortium, the International Conference on Learning Engineering, and the work being done in the ICICLE SIGs. Together, let’s define and support the profession of Learning Engineering. If you have any questions, send us an email at ieeeicicle@gmail.com.
