Engineering Education, past & future II

by | Monday, November 17, 2008

A couple of weeks ago I made a presentation (with Neeraj Buch) to a group of engineering educators from India. This was a meeting organized by the College of Engineering and the Indo-US Collaboration for Engineering Education. Having made this presentation once I had a better sense of what I should be talking about – and that is reflected in the new set of slides. You can download a pdf version of my slides here: Improving Engineering Education: The Past and the Future.
