Congratulations to the NAE FOEE Class of 2015! Did you have a good time? Did you come up with new ideas to take home, implement in your courses and disseminate at your institution? Did you make friends with whom you will keep in touch and collaborate on further developing pioneering practice in Engineering Education? Toward the Formation of the Engineer

Thank you to those who made FOEE possible Thank You National Academy of Engineering: – C. Dan Mote (NAE), President – Al Romig (NAE), Executive Officer – Beth Cady – Jason Williams Advisory Committee Members: – Darryll Pines, Chair, University of Maryland – Nadine Aubry (NAE), Vice-Chair, Northeastern University – Sharon Wood (NAE), University of Texas Austin – Edward Berger, Purdue University – Rebecca Carrier, Northeastern University – Naomi Chesler, University of Wisconsin – Trevor Harding, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo – Lisa Huettel, Duke University Thanks to Keynote Speakers, Moderators, Panelists, and all the Attendees

2015 Symposium: Brief Highlights Al Romig, NAE Executive Officer – NAE: its history (funded in 1964), its advisory role to the federal government, its engineering programs/studies aimed at meeting national needs – FOEE: Strengthen the engineering and innovation capacity and capability of the U.S. through a community of emerging engineering education leaders – NAE grand challenges & Student Video contests Keynote Speakers: Jonathan Jaglom and Anthony Moschella, MakerBot – Reliable and affordable desktop 3D printing for the next industrial revolution – Enabling creativity while reducing design cycle time & cost – 21 st Century Learning commons: 3D Printer Innovation Centers analogous to the desktop computer labs set up in the 80’s

2015 Symposium: Brief Highlights Panel 1: Maker Spaces in Engineering Education – Design/fabrication/innovation shops in various formats Interdisciplinary, design project work and Design Thinking – Assessment is important Impact on design ability, innovation & entrepreneurship, multidisciplinary teaming, recruitment and retention

2015 Symposium: Brief Highlights Panel 2: Global Engineering and the Social Context – Educating students to meet challenges in developing countries & the U.S. – Socially engaged engineers with enhanced professional skills; increased diversity – How do we make such programs substantial, certifiable, accessible? Panel 3: Revolutionizing Engineering Education – Formation of the practicing engineer vs just learning engineering – Changes of the curriculum & the whole ecosystem need to take place – You can become change agents for your department

Affinity Groups Flip Flop: How to increase the lab experience with decreased resources? Ideas: Flipped content, remotely controlled labs, home labs PULSED: Project based U-Learning Servicing Engineering-workforce Diversity Linking Engineers to Humanity through New Media, e.g. Use Tumblr as depository for engineering content (2 min presentations) Education Configuration for Different Mindsets: Design a customized education with multiple pathways with a common trunk of knowledge? Renaissance Engineering: Engineers Engaging the World Implementing Reflection and Metacognition: Personal to Professional

Affinity Groups SECRETS: Strategies for Engaging, Challenging, Retaining and Empowering Teams of Students: Design projects (each year, customized, common platform) Thinkers, Tinkers and Engineers: “Making” Leonardos for the New Millennium Bringing Engineering Concepts to Life: Build a database of inspiring, easy projects M2CD: Multidisciplinary, Multilevel Curriculum Development, e.g. for BioE SMILES: Students Motivated by Interactive Learning Exercises: Teach the teachers active learning

Conference Next Steps Beth will send evaluation form shortly Evaluation is critical to improvement FOEE is always evolving, looking to update and change format We want your feedback on the entire symposium – Format, Content, Speakers, Poster Presentations, Affinity Group Discussions – Hotel, Travel Arrangements All meeting materials will be available on the FOEE Website Safe Travels Back Home – Shuttles will be provided at 10:30am to take participants back to the hotel or directly to the airports

Thank you and all the best!
