Summary: | Today's engineering students face stiff pressures. Just about every global problem they will encounter--from cancer to climate change--has an engineering dimension as well as a growing array of technological tools to master. Schools have responded with a proliferation of programs in emerging subfields. Some may become full-fledged disciplines; others will disappear. But the rapid pace of change and complexity means that many of the skills today's graduates possess could soon prove obsolete. For engineering educators, that poses a grand challenge: how to equip students with the core knowledge they will need throughout their careers while simultaneously training them to become lifelong learners. |
