Shaping the Future of Undergraduate Education: Lessons Learned from Experimentation at Olin College When Olin College of Engineering was established in 1997, the fundamental mission was to rethink what it means to be educated in the 21st century, and rethink what it means to be an engineer. Olin does not offer tenure, there are no academic departments, and everything at Olin has an expiration date. In 2013, Olin College won the NAE’s Gordon Prize for Innovation in Engineering and Technology Education, and it has received visitors from 650 universities. Since the first courses were offered in 2002, many institutions have partnered with Olin to redesign their undergraduate programs, and around the world several entirely new institutions are being established in partnership with Olin. This talk will present an overview of the Olin learning culture and the major lessons learned, which are widely applicable throughout all of higher education. Bio: Richard K.
