THE ENGINEERING MINDSET. OUR HISTORY.

In 2020, Sheryl Sorby, then President of ASEE, initiated an effort to transform undergraduate engineering and engineering technology education.

A Steering Committee was appointed and created a framework for the initiative.

– Cindy Atman, University of Washington
– Maura Borrego, University of Texas – Austin
– Kelly Cross, Georgia Tech University
– Nate Klingbeil, Wright State University
– Alex Mejia, University of Texas, San Antonio
– Jackie El Sayed, ASEE
– Denise Simmons, University of Florida
– Karan Watson, Texas A&M University
– Sheryl Sorby, University of Cincinnati, and President of ASEE
