Redesigning Undergraduate Engineering Education at MIT - the New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) initiative

摘要

MIT is reimagining and redesigning its undergraduate engineering education through the New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) initiative, which is based on the following four principles that are in consonance with student and societal needs, faculty values and MIT's values and culture: · Prepare our students to develop the new machines and systems that they will build in the middle of the 21st century to address societal needs. · Help our students to be makers, discoverers or on the spectrum. · Build our education around the way our students best learn. · Teach our students the NEET Ways of Thinking --- how to think, and how to learn more effectively by themselves.
