Summary
A Whole New Engineer: The Coming Revolution in Engineering Education tells the improbable stories of Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, a small startup in Needham, MA with aspirations to be a beacon to engineering education everywhere, and the iFoundry incubator at the University of Illinois, an unfunded pilot program with aspirations to change engineering at a large public university that wasn’t particularly interested in changing. That either one survived is story enough, but what they found out together changes the course of education transformation forever.
