Listen to Dr. Smith’s predictions of the future of Engineering Education by first exploring the seven shifts in engineering education over the last 20 years. You are in for treat as he unpacks the themes that have emerged upon reflection on where we’ve been and how it shapes where we are headed.

I’m working on my next JEE Academic Bookshelf reflection essay on the future of engineering education and am deeply immersed in the multitude of books on the future of higher education. Currently I have 19 books in my ereader library and another 12 in print on my bookshelf. We do touch on the unrest in 2020 that gripped the nation catalyzed by the murder of George Floyd.
