Workshop on the Engineering Curriculum: Understanding the Design Space and Exploiting the Opportunities

During a workshop in April 2009, representatives of industry, academia, government agencies, and professional societies came together to address (1) the restructuring of engineering curricula to focus on inductive learning through inquiry-based activities and learning experiences grounded in the real world, (2) the integrated, just-in-time learning of relevant topics in STEM fields, and (3) the creative use and implementation of learning technologies. Additional topics arose during breakout discussions, including many additional suggestions for facilitating curricular innovation. Attendees included individuals from industry, academia, government agencies, and professional societies.
