Abstract
To further enhance our efforts in providing the highest quality engineering education, Ohio State has established the Engineering Education Innovation Center (EEIC). The EEIC is the focal point for the Collegepsilas innovative instructional programs, building upon our reputation for and commitment to creative undergraduate education. It is to provide academic as well as professional activities designed to enrich the undergraduate student experience both inside and outside the classroom. And it can create new courses and programs and strengthens existing ones to ensure that students are well prepared for an ever-expanding employment environment. Key Programs include: 1) First-Year Engineering Program 2) Multidisciplinary capstone programs, 3) Core and multidisciplinary engineering programs, 4) Technology literacy courses and minors, 5) Professional development and enhancement for students, 6) Faculty professional development opportunities and 7) Technologically enhanced and enabled instruction support. Our vision is that EEIC will provide vision, leadership, resources, and connections that will contribute to the Ohio State College of Engineering achieving increased recognition as a leader in creative, modern engineering education.
