The Unique Cultivation of Exemplary Engineering Innovators

The engineering programs at Olin College of Engineering are considered the most daring experiment in the United States in recent decades.It puts forward "Olin Triangle Model" as the unique curriculum philosophy."Cross-disciplinary learning strategy" and "Project-based learning" are dominated in the programs.Olin programs are particularly concerned about the students' creative design ability and team ability.With the coordinating administration strategy,Olin does not set up any "department" in the college and abandons the practices such as the tenure system for the first time.All the moves make Olin College very unique among the institutions of engineering education in the United States.The initiatives of Olin College have a certain reference value to improve China's higher engineering education.
