Session Description

Abstract: Engineering education is at a critical juncture, one influenced by rapid technological advancements, shifting institutional priorities, and a move away from its traditional, practice-based roots toward a more theory-driven scholarly community. Drawing from over two decades of experience in various institutions, I want to take you through the evolution of engineering education by examining three interconnected viewpoints: the history we’ve inherited, the current landscape we’re navigating, and the future we’re actively shaping.

I’ll start by reflecting on the early days of engineering e ... (continued)
