Aligning Educational Experiences with Ways of Knowing Engineering

June 18, 2007

Many inventive and innovative students with engineering skills and interests are discouraged or prevented from entering the practice. Research initiated by Sandra Courter, Mitchell Nathan, and Allen Phelps intends to reframe engineering education as a set of developmental experiences that could attract more people, and a more diverse group of people, into the engineering profession, and to reinforce the core skills, knowledge, values, and ways of thinking used by practicing engineers. This project also aims to help engineering educators design innovative programs of study and professional training that better meet the future technology needs of the nation.
