Educating Engineers: Designing for the Future of the Field (Jossey-Bass/Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching) - Tapa dura

"For administrators within engineering programs, this book provides a clear look into the curriculum outcomes needed for today's students. It offers strong direction regarding the components that should be included, and to learning and teaching styles that best serve student needs...It is detailed and is easy to read and understand. Those charged with making curriculum changes will find Educating Engineers a roadmap to the changes top programs are implementing. Academic advisors who can impact the direction of curriculum, or those who are faculty and are interested in changing the outcomes of the class, will find this a good resource." - NACADA Journal , Issue 30(1) (Spring 2010) "The book presents an evaluation of how the education practices of certain engineering schools form future engineers, considering both the strengths and weaknesses of current curricular goals and teaching practices in light of the major changes in professional practice in this new global era. ... The work is useful for academics considering the restructuring of undergraduate engineering curricula." - Choice magazine, Vol. 47, No. 01 (September 2009) "For administrators within engineering programs, this book provides a clear look into the curriculum outcomes needed for today's students. It offers strong direction regarding the components that should be included, and to learning and teaching styles that best serve student needs." -Abby Coffin (NACADA Journal)

There has been major national attention to engineering education in recent years. This book emerges from a study of engineering education by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, as part of its Preparation for the Professions series. The book will document a range of solutions to the dilemmas facing the field, including innovative approaches to teaching design, the use of co-op programs, and integration of basic sciences and research skills. Written for administrators and faculty in engineering schools and programs.
