iFoundry

The iFoundry website is moving to http://ifoundry.illigal.uiuc.edu/.

A new course is open to UIUC students to help design a new engineering curriculum.   A course announcement and draft syllabus are available here.

On Monday, 8 October 2007, a meeting was held to initiate a collective learning exercise (download pdf here). Over the next six weeks or so, a group of faculty and students will review the sources cited and discuss them in the Illinois context.

A lecture on The Creativity Imperative and the Tech Professional of the Future is available in video and ppt (as pdf) at The Entrepreneurial Engineer here.

Just recovered a 1994 document detailing an engineering/technology curriculum for business majors drafted as part of the effort to create Illinois’s Hoeft Technology and Management program.  Download pdf here and examine other iFoundry readings here.

The video and presentation files from A Workshop on the Engineer of the Future is available on the Engineering and Technology Studies at Illinois website (here).

iFoundry is a thinktank for piloting curriculum change in the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This is our first blog entry, and more information about the iFoundry concept will be posted here as time goes on.
