Abstract :
The most pressing and critical needs for engineering graduates in 2013 and beyond are to be natural innovators who are able to integrate their knowledge to solve complex engineering problems. This paper introduces an integrated platform for learning™ as a solution to meet these needs. The platform for learning provides an environment for innovation, while integrating a curriculum into a coherent whole.
