NMiTE have a good partner in Olin College of Engineeringwhich was itself only established in 1997 and has built a solid reputation in just a couple of decades. A recent MIT studyhas named Olin as a top leader in engineering education globally. The “Global state of the art in engineering education”report is a global review of cutting-edge practice in engineering education. The report describes successful innovation in engineering education as well as some of its opportunities and challenges. For example, the challenge of delivering student-centered active learning to large student cohorts, the siloed monodisciplinary structure of many engineering schools, and faculty appointment and promotion systems that are not perceived as rewarding teaching achievement and the benefits of user-centered design, technology-driven entrepreneurship, active project-based learning and a focus on rigor in the engineering fundamentals.
