About:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Minnesota State University, Mankato’s Iron Range Engineering (IRE) program offers an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering, with a new, progressive approach to engineering education that uses project-based learning (PBL) for upper division students. These students, who have typically finished their lower division coursework at a regional community college, earn their degrees by completing four semester-long team projects or one intensive project semester followed by two years of co-op and learning experiences. The IRE curriculum integrates engineering design and the technical fundamentals of engineering with the development of their professional skills necessary to succeed as an engineer, such as teamwork, time management, oral and written communication, project management, professional responsibility and independent learning. Students can choose an engineering focus area by selecting elective credits in that area. Facilitators work jointly with faculty and staff to guide and support the technical and professional learning of all students during their on-site and co-op semesters. The Bell Program includes face-to-face interactions with students in their first semester in Virginia, MN and online and face-to-face interaction with students completing the program. Facilitators visit students in their co-op locations (which may be all over the nation) and build relationships with community colleges and industry.

The program was developed using the knowledge and techniques supported by recent research on the development of technical and professional competencies expected of the engineer of the future. This position includes interaction with industry partners. Additional information on the department and program can be found at: http://cset.mnsu.edu/ie and http://ire.minnstate.edu/bell.
