COE 2010:

A college that is more than the sum of its parts.

“Our vision for the future is a College of Engineering that offers greatly increased cross-disciplinary, cross-departmental, and cross-campus research and education in an increasingly collaborative community of scholars.”

The College of Engineering 2010 Task Force formed in 2005 in response to three major forces that shape the future of engineering education:

• Technology acceleration and the fusion of disciplines
• Global competition that transforms the educational landscape
• Shifts in funding for sustaining public higher education

The 2010 Task Force invites all members of the college community to join with us to design the COE of the future.

Task Force Update, Tuesday, February 19, 2008:

Request for Proposals to Transform Undergraduate Education in the COE. Deadline: 5 p.m. CST, Monday, March 17, 2008.

The College of Engineering is soliciting proposals from faculty and staff within the college for projects that align with the vision and educational goals developed through the efforts of 2010 Task Force. Proposals must address development, implementation, assessment and dissemination of projects that will demonstrate major advance in providing a contemporary undergraduate engineering education. For FY 09, we expect to fund this program at a level up to approximately $500,000 distributed amongst a variety of project sizes ranging from $10,000 to $80,000. Please be aware that funding awarded through this call is anticipated to begin July 1, 2008 and expenditures must be completed by June 30, 2009. The goal is to begin implementation for some projects as early as the fall semester of 2008 and all projects no later than September 2009. Details
