=== Formal Recognition as a Process and Practice ===
Simon’s ideas about learning engineering continued to reverberate at Carnegie Mellon University, but the term did not catch on until businessman Bror Saxberg began promoting it in 2014 after visiting Carnegie Mellon University and the [[Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center]], or LearnLab for short. Bror Saxberg brought his team from the for-profit education company, [[Kaplan, Inc.|Kaplan]], to visit CMU. The team went back to Kaplan with what we now call learning engineering to enhance, optimize, test, and sell their educational products. While still at Kaplan, he was an advisor to education-focussed philanthropic initiatives and later joined the
[[Chan Zuckerberg Initiative
Vice President, Learning Science. While at Kaplan Bror Saxberg co-write with [[Frederick M. Hess|Frederick Hess]], founder of the [[American Enterprise Institute]]'s [https://www.aei.org/conservative-education-reform-network/ Conservative Education Reform Network], the 2014 book using the term ''learning engineering''. Then while at the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Bror Saxberg co-wrote with [[
==== International Consortium for Innovation and Collaboration in Learning Engineering ====
In 2017, the [[IEEE Standards Association]] formed the [https://sagroups.ieee.org/icicle/about/ IC Industry Consortium on Learning Engineering] as a part of its [https://web.archive.org/web/20191001052508/https://standards.ieee.org/industry-connections/ Industry Connections] program. [[File:Learning Engineering Process with Iterative Design-Build.png|thumb|Learning engineering is an iterative process, informed by data, that starts with a challenge in context. The Creation stage may use iterative human-centered design-build cycles.]] Between 2017 and 2019, ICICLE formed eight Special Interest Groups (SIGs) as a collaborative resource to support the growth of Learning Engineering. The Curriculum, and Credentials SIG chaired by [[Kenneth Koedinger]] pioneered the work on a formal definition of learning engineering. Later work by the Design SIG led by Aaron Kessler led to the development of a learning engineering process model. In 2024 ICICLE changed its name to International Consortium for Innovation and Collaboration in Learning Engineering and became part of the [https://sagroups.ieee.org/ltsc/ IEEE Learning Technology Standards Committee].
==== Enterprise Learning Engineering Center of Excellence ====
On 1 December 2024 the [[U.S. Air Force|United_States_Air_Force]] [[Air Education and Training Command|Air_Education_and_Training_Command]] (AETC) established the [[Enterprise Learning Engineering Center of Excellence|Enterprise_Learning_Engineering_Center_of_Excellence]] (ELE CoE) "to directly support development and
delivery of Mission Ready Airmen and Guardians to Joint Force Commanders with the competencies needed to deter or defeat great power competitors."
