core AU Gold liberal arts tradition of debate, rhetoric and
theology. 2) Establish entrepreneurship/entrepreneurism as a
central thread throughout the delivery of engineering content. 3)
Employ an inverted curriculum with hands-on engineering experiences
beginning in the first year. 4) Use flipped classes that emphasize
the use of technology to achieve independent learning and group
