technologies, and a well educated,globally distributed global workforce represent significant challenges to the status quo ofU.S. engineering and engineering education. Meeting these challenges requires atransformation of how engineering is taught. Strong domain knowledge and technicalexpertise no longer make a well-rounded engineer; the rapid pace of change in scienceand engineeringalso requires high levels of ingenuity and adaptivity. Learning scientistsdescribe these dual capabilities as “adaptive expertise” (AE). Adaptive experts areinnovative: they are able to creatively leverage their experience and perform well in noveland fluid situations. They are also efficient: they apply their core taxonomic knowledgeappropriately and expeditiously. Common
