This paper looks at Friedman’s 10 “flatteners” and how they are orare not directly applicable to laboratories in engineering education.This paper describes specific examples of collaboration of
faculty alignment.Knowledge inherently divides itself into two related branches of learning. Traditional ordinaryknowledge is obtained from systematic, purposeful, organized information; contrariwise, higherknowledge is produced by the use of insight and other creative mind processes. The knowledgeage begins with ordinary knowledge coming from existing information and moves to higherknowledge as mental power increases. This dichotomy requires a broader interpretation ofknowledge from a noun to a verb basis. The result is knowledging, which then allows the solv-ing of new and different technical problems. However, knowledging is reversible – knowledgedecays first to informatics then to routine public information.Engineering faculty must begin

Through the IIT Interprofessional Projects [IPRO]Program, the distinctiveness of this learning model has been tested for more than four years via100 pilot projects to-date, involving more than 600 students and 60 faculty. The core of our IPRO Program is the formation of project teams, each with a mix of 5-15students from across the professional disciplines and from multiple levels (sophomore throughgraduate). All undergraduate students are required to complete a minimum of two such semester-long interprofessional team-based learning projects before graduation. Workplace organizations(e.g., corporate, entrepreneurial, non-profit, government) supply multifaceted topics and interactwith the teams in a co-mentoring role, along with a faculty
