Higher education in engineering in the future will produce engineers that not only solve problems but also prevent more problems resulting from these solutions. To accomplish this, world-readiness and self-actualization of the engineering students should be stressed. Community-Based project-based Learning (CBL) is proposed to achieve these two elements, and the feasibility of increasing CBL at WPI is discussed in this project. Students, faculty, and community members were involved in this exploration of creating the future of higher education at WPI.
