1. NAE – Boeing: The Value of the Grand Challenges Scholars Program to Employers
NAE Global Challenge Scholars Program
Annual Meeting on October 30.
Exploring how GCSPs and corporations can better interact with each other and prepare students for the workforce for the 21st century
Michael Richey, Ph.D. Chief Learning Scientist Associate Technical Fellow The Boeing Company

2. The Boeing Company: What We Do Today
Presence and Partnerships: Boeing Employees
The Boeing Company – the world’s largest aerospace company and America’s largest exporter – assembles commercial airplanes and defense products and also builds aerospace components in the United States.

3. NAE Grand Challenge: Advancing Personalized Learning
Information is created at an exponential rate every day
People require access to very specialized information
at particular instances in time
Everybody learns differently
Requires neuroscientist, educators, statisticians, digital data designers, learning scientists, instructional designers, big data experts, etc.
“In recent years, a growing appreciation of individual preferences and aptitudes has led toward more “personalized learning,” in which instruction is tailored to a student’s individual needs”. NAE 2017

6. NAE Grand Challenges Scholars Program:
What kind of talent you are looking for in your global workforce
AerosPACE will align to NAE GCSP 5 Competency Criteria
5 Competencies
The GCSP is a combined curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular program with five competencies especially designed to prepare the next generation of students to address major challenges facing society in this century.
Talent Competency: mentored research/creative experience on a Grand Challenge-like topic
Multidisciplinary Competency: understanding multidisciplinarity of engineering systems solutions developed through personal engagement
Viable Business/Entrepreneurship Competency: understanding, preferably developed though experience, of the necessity of a viable business model for solution implementation
Multicultural Competency: understanding different cultures, preferably through multicultural experiences, to ensure cultural acceptance of proposed engineering solutions
Social Consciousness Competency: understanding that the engineering solutions should primarily serve people and society reflecting social consciousness
Each participating institution creates its own specific realization of how the competencies are implemented.
Program elements are driven by the power of
the idea of the 21st century engineer, with flexibility afforded to institutions for execution.
AerosPACE DBF programs are designed to ensure coherence and connectivity across
five competencies and a Grand Challenge theme.

7. NAE GCSP Opportunity:
Boeing investment in the future of engineering and advanced manufacturing
Significant trends in learning: (modified from
Siemens, 2004; Richey 2014)
Learning and knowledge rests in diversity of opinions.
Learning is a process of connecting
specialized nodes or information sources.
Learning may reside in non-human appliances (Cyber-Physical Systems)
Capacity to know more is more critical than what is currently known
Nurturing and maintaining connections is needed to facilitate continual learning.
Convergent Teaming: The ability to see connections between fields, ideas, and concepts is a core skill.
How we envision being a vital NAE partner in the efforts to educate the global engineer for the 217st century
