sufficientlyflexible to adequately meet the needs of the 21st century engineers” (Source: Engineering2020 Report, 2004)In June 2006, the American Society for Engineering Education launched an initiative to promotebroad-based discussions within the society on the role and importance of educational scholarshipto ensure the long-term excellence of U.S. engineering education. Those discussions led to aproject which began in October 2007 with support from ASEE and the National ScienceFoundation. The project represents an important step by ASEE to enable even broaderconversations across the American engineering education enterprise on creating a vibrantengineering academic culture for systematic and scholarly engineering educational innovation;these efforts hope to

This statement does not affirm that this student was enrolled as astudent at the University in any way. It does not confer a grade, credit, or degree,and it does not verify the identity of the student.As Coursera courses are self-enrolling and often require no prerequisites, it couldbe possible that students are not matched
