Simon’s ideas about learning engineering continued to reverberate at Carnegie Mellon University, but the term did not catch on until Bror Saxberg began using it in 2014

A clear line can be drawn from Simon to Saxberg. In 1978, Herb Simon helped bring [[John Robert Anderson (psychologist)|John Anderson]] to Carnegie Mellon and Anderson soon began to test his theory of cognition within intelligent tutoring systems. In 1998, [[Carnegie Learning]] was spun off producing the first widespread use of intelligent tutoring systems in K12 schools. In 2004, [[Kenneth Koedinger]] and [[Kurt Vanlehn]] started the [[Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center]], or LearnLab for short. Bror Saxberg brought his team from Kaplan to visit CMU. The team went back to Kaplan, armed with LearnLab’s KLI framework <ref>{{cite journal |last1=Koedinger|first1=Ken|last2=Corbett |first2=Albert|last3=Perfetti|first3=Charles|date=2012 |title=Knowledge-Learning-Instruction (KLI) framework: Bridging the science-practice chasm to enhance robust student learning |url=http://pact.cs.cmu.edu/pubs/Koedinger,%20Corbett,%20Perfetti%202012-KLI.pdf|journal=Cognitive Science |volume=36 |issue=5 |pages=757–798|doi=10.1037/a0031955}}</ref>, a theoretical framework linking cognition and instruction. They began executing what we now call learning engineering to enhance, optimize, and test their educational products. Bror Saxberg would later co-write the 2014 book using the term “learning engineering”. It caught on this time.
Subsequently, the term “learning engineering” has come to emphasize a focus on applied research (rather than foundational or theoretical research), as well as incorporating learning science research in order to improve real-life learning outcomes.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Lieberman|first=Mark|date=|title=Learning Inch Toward the Spotlight|url=https://www.insidehighered.com/digital-learning/article/2018/09/26/learning-engineers-pose-challenges-and-opportunities-improving|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-07-21|website=Inside Higher Education|language=en}}</ref>
