The Architecture of Engagement in Engineering Design
In short: How do you transform a complex engineering course from passive listening into active discovery? This interview explores the deliberate strategies used to build effective teaching teams and foster genuine student participation.
Instructors Blade Kotelly and Joel Schindall break down their approach to MIT's Engineering Innovation and Design course. They move beyond traditional lecturing to discuss the mechanics of assembling a cohesive teaching team capable of managing high-level design work.
The core focus is on active engagement—moving students from being observers to participants in the learning process. By understanding how to structure these interactions, educators can better facilitate the transition from theory to practical innovation.
