This has paralleled the call for a transformational change in thebroader science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education community3 and hasresulted in significant resources by both government and corporate entities to improve teachingand learning in the STEM disciplines.4 Since focusing on developing evidence-based teachinginnovations has not been enough to affect pervasive change in teaching practices in engineeringschools, the emphasis by organizations including the National Science Foundation and theNational Academy of Engineering has shifted to developing an understanding of the extent of theadoption of innovations5-12.In university engineering departments, individual faculty members are typically responsible forclassroom

teaching experience ofengineering faculty. The core problem is seeing technology as a way to do more of the samerather than as an opportunity to do something much better. This paper attempts to paint a visionof what can be for engineering colleges that dare to use technology to reinvent teaching in waysthat research tells us work best for students and instructors.The Opportunity Page 23.1224.4Fundamentally the opportunity is using technology to help us recreate engineering rather thansimply doing more of the same to more people. This is not to say that technology itself is theanswer. In fact, infatuation with the bells and whistles of technology too
