Engineering and technology management education: Faculty and students RISE to the challenge

摘要

• Engineering and technology management professionals increasingly find themselves living and learning in a world characterized by the need to: • Solve unscripted problems • Work in globally interconnected environments • Help to improve the conditions of disadvantaged citizens • Translate theory into practice • Too often, however, the education of engineering and technology management students fails to adequately equip them with the knowledge, skills, experiences, and perspectives necessary to meet such needs • In addition to discipline-specific knowledge, there exist several innovative pedagogies to better prepare students to meet the present and emerging realities of the profession • At IUPUI, we have organized and branded an educational approach known as RISE: • Research experiences for undergraduates • International study abroad programs • Service learning • Experiential education • RISE engages students in immersive learning while equipping them with employer and graduate-school desired preparation, skills, and experiences
