The Illinois student chapter of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) is set to begin operating at the University of Illinois in Fall 2009. Our Olin-Illinois partnership and a visit by students in Spring 2009 to Olin College for the Summit on the Engineer of the Future 2.0 inspired the inception of an ASEE student chapter at Illinois. Both iFoundry and Illinois ASEE are committed to working together on furthering engineering education and empowering engineering students to transform engineering education.
For more information about Illinois ASEE, contact current chapter president Brian Schertz.

Incoming iFoundry student, Abi Noda, has shared a great post from Bruce Eckel which makes the case that career success, in software and all engineering fields, is not simply a matter of technical expertise, but depends on being open to lifelong learning, taking risks, learning from experiences outside the classroom, and broad learning outside your specialty.
The post sounds the themes of what kind of education is needed for the Creative Engineers of the Future.
