Twitter Chat: Changing the Way We Change, 8pm, Wed, 14 May

Changing the engineering curriculum and engineering education more generally is very difficult.  Industry over the past several decades has developed a discipline of change management to help make change more systematically, and A Whole New Engineer (here), calls in Chapter 9 for Changing the Way We Change.  

This twitter chat considers the obstacles to change in engineering education and how they might be overcome.  Join me, Dave Goldberg, on Wednesday, 14 May at 8pm ET for a twitter chat that explores this important topic.  Two useful sources for our conversation will be John Kotter’s work, especially Leading Change, and the Heath Brothers’ work, especially, Switch.  

Join us tomorrow – Wednesday May 14th 2014, 8 pm EDT on #BigBeacon

How to Twitter Chat

If you’ve never Twitter chatted before, don’t worry; it’s very easy. First, get a free Twitter account (here) if you don’t already have one, and log in. At 8 PM ET on Wednesday go to twitter.com and type #BigBeacon into the search box on Twitter. Thereafter all the tweets with the hashtag #BigBeacon will show up on your Twitter page. To participate, simply express your opinion by sending a tweet, and be sure to append the hashtag #BigBeacon so other members of the Twitter Chat see you are posting. Alternatively, automate the hashtag search and append feature by using the free service Tchat at http://www.tchat.io.
