Societal Engineering and the Entrepreneurial Mindset Building the First Year Experience Boston University College of Engineering Dr. Jonathan Rosen March 30, 2012
Goal 1: To transform our undergraduate engineering education into an “experience” that creates a “Societal Engineer “ ensuring opportunity, passion, and ambition for innovation, leadership, and life-long impact. BU College of Engineering Strategic Plan
Curricular • EK 131 Putting Technology to Work • How to have good ideas • How ideas become innovations • How innovations impact society
Co-curricular • Imagineering Laboratory • “Clean App Your Neighborhood” • Innovation Seminar Series • Summer internships
Extra-curricular • Engineers Without Borders • Engineering Design Competition • $50k Business Plan Competition
Where we go from here… Modify and add additional EK 131 modules Online access to BU Grand Challenges Seminar Series for DCN and eventually all KEEN schools . Shift First Year Curriculum towards design training. First year training for TISP participation in years 2-4. Connect EK 131 with SI 480 experience. Preparation for Concentration in Innovation.
