Creating new colleges, new college programs, and growing enrollment is not an easy task in our current academic environment. Building enrollment for a brand-new academic program is one of higher education's toughest challenges. Yet, the University of Oklahoma's Polytechnic Institute (UOPI) successfully recruited its first class by flipping the traditional mindset. Instead of expecting students to be "college ready," they designed their programs to be "student ready." In this episode of Changing Higher Ed®, Dr. Teri Reed, inaugural director of the University of Oklahoma Polytechnic Institute at OU Tulsa and veteran creator of innovative engineering education programs, shares insights on launching new academic programs and colleges, revealing how strategic partnerships with Google and local community colleges helped launch new degrees that attract students to high-demand fields like cybersecurity and artificial intelligence. Podcast Overview Industry-Driven Program Design Extensive consultation with industry partners identified skills gaps, particularly in applied technical fields. Curriculum development focused on producing "industry ready" graduates. Programs include cybersecurity, applied artificial intelligence, and software development integration. Industry certifications embedded within courses to enhance graduate employability. Strategic Faculty Recruitment and Structure Innovative group interview process to ensure a collaborative mindset. Faculty hired across disciplines to prevent silos. Over 200 years of combined industry experience among 10 faculty members. Integration of industry professionals as university affiliates (including a current Google employee). Continuous Improvement: Curriculum Agility and Innovation Annual curriculum reviews and updates based on industry feedback. Willingness to modify programs multiple times per year to stay current. Two faculty "owners" per course to encourage collaboration and innovation. Focus on cross-disciplinary integration rather than traditional departmental structures. Strategic Partnerships Close collaboration with local community colleges for seamless transfers. The "Intentional swirling" approach allows students to progress while completing associate degrees. Industry partnerships inform curriculum and provide real-world expertise. Marketing and communication strategies to build program awareness. Creating Programs Focused on Student Success "Student ready" philosophy rather than the traditional "college ready" approach. Emphasis on meeting students where they are academically. Focus on reducing time-to-degree completion. Integration of industry certifications within coursework. Three Takeaways for University Presidents and Boards Listen broadly, especially to stakeholders who don't typically feel heard. Be bold in creating unique programs that differ from traditional approaches. Embrace opportunities in the high-tech world and move quickly to implement changes. Bonus Takeaway from Dr. McNaughton Hire faculty and staff who embrace change and are willing to continuously update curriculum based on industry needs.   Wrapping Up This case study of the OU Polytechnic Institute provides valuable insights for higher education leaders looking to develop new programs that build enrollment and meet industry needs while maintaining academic rigor and ensuring student success. #HigherEducation #HigherEdEnrollment #HigherEducationPodcast Read the show transcript on our website: https://changinghighered.com/launching-new-college-programs-that-build-enrollment/     About Our Podcast Guest Teri K.

In this episode, Mark talks with Kathy Harper, a senior lecturer in engineering education at The Ohio State University. She tells us about how she found her way to a modeling workshop half her lifetime ago, and how modeling has changed her life. They also talk about the work that Kathy has done bringing modeling workshops to Ohio, and then having workshops to develop small activities to bring tastes of engineering to our science courses. We hope you enjoy listening! Guest Bios Kathy Harper Kathy Harper is a senior lecturer in the Department of Engineering Education at The Ohio State University, teaching in the Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors program. Her involvement with Modeling Instruction began in 1995. She has directed dozens of workshops for Ohio science teachers in Modeling Instruction, piloting the first workshops to incorporate engineering content into the Modeling framework. Her research includes an array of educational topics, but most recently centers on assessing classroom-level innovations. She has made conference and workshop presentations on topics such as problem solving, cooperative learning, reflective journaling, first-year engineering courses, and, of course, Modeling. Facebook Highlights [26:05] Kathy Harper, talking about starting to develop engineering content using a modeling framework "what if we offer a one-week workshop for people that have already taken a modeling workshop to come in and we'll just work through ways that we can add engineering into an existing modeling curriculum. ...But one of the things I really remember was one teacher said "My advanced students are usually debating between a career in medicine or a career in engineering. And they all feel like they understand what medicine is. And so I think they're more likely to choose that, but they don't really understand what engineering is." ...So we worked then as a group to think about some activities that we could add, just to introduce students to engineering design that were largely independent of content." [40:01] Kathy Harper, talking about funding for modeling workshops and state funding for professional development "we need to do something to get those mechanisms back in place so that we can support these state-level, or at least, you know, portion of state-level workshops, where again, like-minded teachers can get together, talk about the content and the pedagogy. Where we can teach these workshops for the people who teach these workshops are real K-12 classroom teachers. Not university people like me; people that teach in very similar circumstances to the people attending the workshops. Those are key." Resources Transcript Ep 63 Transcript

The aim of this discussion is to publicize both the challenge and potential solution for the integration of secure supply chain risk management content into conventional software engineering programs. The discipline of software engineering typically does not teach students how to ensure that the code produced and sold in commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products hasn't been compromised during the sourcing process. We propose a comprehensive and standard process based on established best practice principles that can provide the basis to address the secure sourcing of COTS products. About the speaker: Dr. Dan Shoemaker received a doctorate from the University of Michigan in 1978. He taught at Michigan State University and then moved to the Business School at the University of Detroit Mercy to Chair their Department of Computer Information Systems (CIS). He attended the organizational roll-out of the discipline of software engineering at the Carnegie-Mellon University Software Engineering Institute in the fall of 1987. From that, he developed and taught a SEI-based software engineering curriculum as a separate degree program to the MBA within the College. During that time, Dr. Shoemaker's specific areas of scholarship, publication, and teaching centered on the processes of the SWEBOK, specifically specification, SQA, and SCM/sustainment.  Dr. Shoemaker's transition into cybersecurity came after UDM was designated the 39th Center of Academic Excellence by the NSA/DHS at West Point in 2004. His research concentrated on the strategic architectural aspects of cybersecurity system design and implementation, as well as software assurance. He was the Chair of Workforce Training and Education for the DHS/DoD Software Assurance initiative (2007-2010), and he was one of the three authors of the Common Body of Knowledge to Produce, Acquire, and Sustain Software (2006). He was also a subject matter expert for NICE (2009 and NICE II – 2010-11).  Dr. Shoemaker was also an SME for the CSEC 2017 (Human Security).This exposure led to a grant to develop curricula for software assurance and the founding of the Center for Cybersecurity and Intelligence Studies, where he currently resides. Dr. Shoemaker's final significant grant was from the DoD to develop a curriculum and teaching and course material for Secure Acquisition (in conjunction with the Institute for Defense Analysis and the National Defense University). He has published 14 books in the field, ranging from Cyber Resilience (CRC Press) to the CSSLP All-In-One (McGraw-Hill). His latest book, "Teaching Cyber Security" (Taylor and Francis), is aimed at K-12 teachers.

Episode: 1107 In which we call ourselves engineers, for the last 200 years.  Today, we learn where engineers come from.

In this episode, we talk with Alicia Trout, P.E., about how she transitioned from engineering to teaching, the importance of middle school engineering education, and how she keeps the lessons engaging and relevant. Alicia also talks about the challenges of teaching a diverse group of students and the need for more diversity in engineering, and […] The post TSEC 121: Inspiring the Next Generation Through Middle School Engineering Education appeared first on Engineering Management Institute.

Engineering design is a technical as well as a social process. Developing an awareness of factors affecting groups' dynamics during the decision-making process can help improve team-based engineering experiences. In this conversation, Drs. Robin Fowler and Trevion Henderson share their research and practical knowledge about ways of supporting equitable collaboration among students who identify with historically marginalized groups.Bios:Dr. Robin Fowler is a Teaching Professor in Technical Communication and an Engineering Education researcher at the University of Michigan. Her teaching is primarily in team-based engineering courses, and her research focuses on equity in communication and collaboration as well as in group design decision making (judgment) under uncertainty. She is especially interested in how power relationships and rhetorical strategies affect group judgment in engineering design; one goal of this work is to understand factors that inhibit full participation of students who identify with historically marginalized groups and investigate evidence-based strategies for mitigating these inequities. In addition, she is interested in technology and how specific affordances can change the ways we collaborate, learn, read, and write. Teaching engineering communication allows her to apply this work as she coaches students through collaboration, design thinking, and design communication. She is part of a team of faculty innovators who originated Tandem (tandem.ai.umich.edu), a tool designed to help facilitate equitable and inclusive teamwork environments.Dr. Trevion Henderson (he/him/his) is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Tufts University. He earned his Ph.D. in Higher Education from the University of Michigan, as well as his M.A. in Higher Education and Student Affairs and his B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University. Dr. Henderson holds secondary appointments in the STEM Education program in the Department of Education, and he serves on Steering Committee for the Institute for Research on Learning and Instruction (IRLI) at Tufts University. Dr. Henderson's research is broadly concerned with how students' in- and out-of-classroom experiences affect their learning, focusing particularly on the ways that students' socio-academic relationships shapes their learning in engineering education. Dr. Henderson uses both qualitative and quantitative methodological approaches to student the interactional dynamics that shape students' learning, focusing particularly on teamwork 

Every single one of us needs air, water, food, shelter, and energy. So why are the infrastructure that provides them, the systems we are most reliant on hidden in plain sight? How can we reconnect with them, appreciate them, rebuild them, reinforce the ones we already have, and build new ones that actually benefit everyone? Those are today's big questions, and my guest is Deb Chachra. Deb is a material scientist and professor of engineering at Olin College of Engineering. She has studied bones, and heart valves, and infrastructure. Wired said reading her newsletter, Metafoundry, was like being plugged Oculus-style into her brain while she meditates on science and culture. Deb also writes a recurring column, Reinvention, in the American Society for Engineering Education's PRISM magazine. Deb's wonderful new book, How Infrastructure Works: Inside the Systems That Shape Our World is out on October 17th in the U.S. And it couldn't be more timely as the truly incredible infrastructure of the 20th century, and the centuries before that, are coming under threat now from climate change and negligence and the awareness of the inequities behind them.It's more vital than ever that we develop a personal appreciation and a collective appreciation for how we got here. -----------Have feedback or questions?

Bryce Hughes is an associate professor of education at Montana State University. He holds a Ph.D. in education from UCLA, an MA in student development administration from Seattle University, and a BS in general engineering from Gonzaga University. His work highlights the disproportionate rates at which LGBTQ students leave STEM fields. His recent NSF CAREER award focuses on understanding the experiences of LGBTQ students in STEM majors, investigating students' social networks, degree completion rates, and science and engineering identity. His research has garnered recognition from the American Society for Engineering Education and the American Society for Engineering Management.Data suggests that LGBTQIA+ undergraduate students are less likely to continue or finish a STEM major than their counterparts. A 2016 study from Queer in STEM identified that approximately less than 60% of queer scientists are openly out. Diverse perspectives and ideas are needed within STEM fields to ensure new ideas and perspectives can contribute to the next important discovery. More data and research is needed to truly understand the impact of LGBTQIA+ individuals studying STEM undergraduate majors.Learn more about CITI Program: https://about.citiprogram.org/Resources: https://www.stemwomen.com/lgbtq-plus-in-stemhttps://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.abe0933

This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Derek Lidow. Derek has had a unique entrepreneurial journey in that he was CEO of a large publicly traded semiconductor company, a founder and CEO of an innovative and valuable startup, and now as a teacher and scholar of entrepreneurship and innovation. Derek is a professor of the practice at the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education at Princeton University. He's literally lived 3 very different entrepreneurial lives. On top of all that he is the author multiple best-sellers including Startup Leadership: How Savvy Entrepreneurs Turn Their Ideas Into Successful Enterprises, Building on Bedrock: What Sam Walton, Walt Disney, and Other Great Self-Made Entrepreneurs Can Teach Us About Building Valuable Companies, and THE ENTREPRENEURS: The Relentless Quest for Value. Derek is one of those guys, I could talk about every side of entrepreneurship with and we do just that. www.DerekLidow.com Derek thought he was going to be a scientist. During graduate school he found that it wasn't for him. He finished his PhD, but then shocked everyone and went into the business world. He found success as a semi-conductor executive during the golden age of the industry. He contributed a lot to the industry and ultimately proved how to create great solutions saving the world billions in gigawatts in the power space. He was ultimately made CEO of a large global company and led it to be the leader in it's vertical. After 5 years, he got the itch to start his own company. He retired from the corporate world and started a company from scratch. He built a data aggregation and visualization solution for the supply chain and with his previous experience was able to create a massive enterprise. The company kept finding success until a another company came along and had to buy them paying top dollar. Two weeks later he later he was recruited by Princeton to help create their entrepreneurial curriculum and teach. For the last 10 years he has taught and immersed himself into studying entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is more of innate state for human beings, but so many stray from embracing it – why do you think that is? Derek has studied the origins of entrepreneurship and how it started and took hold. He realized he was under-appreciating the value of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs are responsible for virtually everything. We should understand better what they do and how they do that. At the 14 min mark, Derek and I have a good discussion of whether everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur or not. Entrepreneurs are self-directed. They decide which rules to follow and which to not follow. Entrepreneurs typically have a skill that those around them covet and want them for. Entrepreneurs entice others to give them something in return for their skill. They are not afraid to ask for a sale. We further discuss how everyone is selling something, but don't see it like selling unless it is in a business context. But, everyone is in sales of some kind. We also discuss the real challenge for people tapping into the entrepreneurial gene is the willingness to take risk. You've said that we are focused on the wrong aspect of helping and regulating entrepreneurs. What does that mean? It is impossible for Govts to create effective regulations that allow entrepreneurs to innovate and create without causing entrepreneurs to go outside the rules and cause problems. Regulations have not been very effective as a whole as entrepreneurs find ways to maneuver around them if they are harmful. Entrepreneurs themselves are far more effective at regulating other entrepreneurs. At the 24 min mark, we talk about the FTX scandal and how entrepreneurs would be better to manage it than Govt. Derek uses an example of Vanderbilt to illustrate how entrepreneurs are better at keeping things in check with each other. From your study or entrepreneurs and the history of entrepreneurship, what are some of the lessons you've taken that people should know and understand? Great entrepreneurs are great at enticing people to want things that we may not really need. People need to get educated from a consumer standpoint on how they are persuaded. This will help entrepreneurs better create products and services that are more valuable. What is your most important message from your latest book, the Relentless Quest for Value? Pay more attention to entrepreneurs and respect them but help them by giving them better feedback to create more effective solutions. Support smaller businesses and their entrepreneur journey. Understand that entrepreneurs are best equipped to solve the world's biggest challenges. You dedicated the book to Arel and Tiel. Who are they? Derek's sons that are both entrepreneurs. One son is in Silicon Valley, the other growing slow and steady in his business. They are modeling creating great businesses with integrity. ​ 2-3 of the best lessons you personally learned on your own entrepreneur journey? Know yourself so you can understand what you are capable of and where to ask for help. You must put yourself in the shoes of your customers and dedicate yourself to their happiness. Be selfishly selfless. It is ok, to be selfish to be selfless with those around you.   Best Quote: Know yourself so you can understand what you are capable of and where to ask for help.   Derek's Misfit 3: Feel good about asking for help. Empathize with others. It is ok to be selfish to be selfless in helping others around you.
