Panel on Extensions of the GCSP Program Peter Kilpatrick McCloskey Dean of Engineering University of Notre Dame NAE GCSP Annual Meeting National Academy of Engineering October 6-7 2016
Our Panelists Dr. Ernest Wilson III Annenberg Chair Dean, Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism Dr. Tom Katsouleas Executive VP and Provost, Uva Co-founder GCSP Dr. Rick Miller First President Olin College Co-founder GCSP
GCSP Elements Hands-on Project OR Research Experience (related to a Grand Challenge and mentored) Interdisciplinary Curriculum (connectivity) Entrepreneurship (higher order intellection) Global Dimension (connectivity, empathy) Service Learning (mentoring, affectivity) Bringing Talent, Purpose, and Competence Together
Modes of “Intellectual Work” (according to Daniel Little, “Varieties of Social Explanation”) Extension Completion Testable Hypotheses Ideation Synthesis Transference Translation Application Paradigm Shifts Higher Forms of Intellection
Globalizing GCSP: Global Attributes Collaborative and Inter-Institutional Hands-on Project OR Research Experience (related to a Grand Challenge, an SDG, and mentored; diverse teams; flexibility, communication key) Interdisciplinary Curriculum (connectivity; broadmindedness) Entrepreneurship (higher order intellection, design thinking, flexibility) Global Dimension Service Learning (purpose, mentoring, diverse teams)
Sustainable Development Goals
Globalizing the GCSP: Next Steps Taylor’s University (Malaysia) first to implement an international GCSP program 45 Deans and Institutional officials signed letters of intent at WEEF-GEDC Dubai 2014 At WEEF-GEDC Seoul 2016 (November 6-10, 2016), Dr. C. Dan Mote will present opening keynote on GCSPs Dr. Christina White and I will facilitate GCSP workshop
Closing Thoughts GCSPs enable students to cultivate higher order intellection skills: synthesis, connectivity, contextualizing, human dimensions Contextualizing GCSPs globally will require some care and thought; must purposefully inculcate global attributes GCSPs create confident engineering leaders for 21st century problem solving
