Engineering Education Programs

SYNOPSIS

Engineering Education encourages the integration of engineering research and education to accelerate technological and educational innovation and improve the quality and diversity of engineering graduates entering the technical workforce. EEC encourages partnerships that infuse both research and education with new knowledge from multiple disciplines, take advantage of new understanding of how students learn, and focus on engineered systems. The objective is to graduate engineering leaders with a global outlook and the ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving technical environment in industry, academe, and society. It also supports the active involvement of K-12 teachers and community college faculty in engineering research in order to bring knowledge of engineering and technological innovation into their classrooms.
