The blog The Entrepreneurial Engineer has viewers for iFoundry videos (here) and iFoundry powerpoints (here).

An article on iFoundry has appeared in the Daily Illini:

“This is very different from engineering in the (early 1900s),” said Andreas Cangellaris, professor of electrical and computer engineering and co-founder of iFoundry. “It’s not just an engineer in a room working alone. Engineers are interacting with many different departments – (sometimes globally). We don’t want global competition. We want global collaboration.”

“This is very different from engineering in the (early 1900s),” said Andreas Cangellaris, professor of electrical and computer engineering and co-founder of iFoundry. “It’s not just an engineer in a room working alone. Engineers are interacting with many different departments – (sometimes globally). We don’t want global competition. We want global collaboration.”

Engineers should be able to effectively impart their ideas to other people across different departments and cultures.

The current plan for iFoundry involves injecting three different programs into the engineering curriculum: 3SpaceStudios, HAPI themes and Operation Fresh.

3SpaceStudios is a library of YouTube videos about topics that are important to engineers but are commonly left out of the engineering curriculum, such as patent law, ethics and the history of technology.

“Since the new generation is into digital media, we’ve made YouTube videos,” Goldberg said. “They could also be used as reference material for classes.”

Workshop on the First Year in Engineering (WFYE) is a half-day workshop, Thursday, 25 September 2008 (Room 1122, NCSA Building), exploring innovations in the early undergraduate engineering curriculum.

to the Workshop on the First Year in Engineering.  Steve Carr is Associate Dean for Undergraduate Engineering at Northwestern University, and Brian Storey is Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Franklin W. Olin College.

Michael Loui debuts on the iFoundry YouTube channel with a series that is certain to be popular for inclusion in other classes (here).  See the first in the series on Professionalism below:

The PowerPoint slides for his series can be viewed here.  Michael Loui is a faculty member in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Illinois.  He is well known for his work in engineering ethics and the scholarship of engineering education.
