New Model for Training Engineers

The Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering is marrying engineering education with a spirit of entrepreneurship and creativity.  Using a "design-based approach," the school encourages students not only to determine what is important, but also to use creative skills to solve problems or find innovative solutions in hands-on applications beginning early on in their education.  Forty-five percent of the students are women, and the school has more than its share of Fulbright scholars and NSF fellowships being awarded to them.  Read more in an Inc. interview with President Richard Miller.  http://www.inc.com/articles/201104/olin-school-of-engineering-richard-miller-interview.html
