The College of Engineering’s eLearning Initiative is a shared project with ETS and the Leonhard Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Education. The initiative aims to expose undergraduate students within the College of Engineering to issues of globalization, ethics, and societal contexts in engineering practice. In addition the initiative will require that students demonstrate an ability to work with and lead collaborative projects, including virtual/distributed work teams.

Courses under development include topics such as technology ethics, globalization, leadership, and entrepreneurship. The initiative will also assess the long-term viability of cross-campus courses, affording students first-hand experience with working in a distributed team environment. Finally, the initiative’s goals include an exploration of student portfolio tools, specifically how best students can capture evidence of learning in the areas of ethics, global awareness, and leadership.
