Rethinking Engineering Education

Abstract

This chapter broadens and concludes the discussion of the second question central to the reform of engineering education: How can we do better at ensuring that students learn these skills? In this chapter, we emphasize the alignment of teaching and learning approaches with the intended learning outcomes.

This chapter is written with the support of authors Maria Knutson Wedel and Diane H. Soderholm.
