How Do I
Use & Collaborate in Groups?
Engineering Unleashed groups provide a focused workspace for you to connect and collaborate with faculty. Groups can form around a variety of shared interests and goals, and span many topics and discussions to help drive ideas and concepts to solutions and finished products, such as:
- Educating Virtuous Engineers: Ethics, Character, and Leadership
- Create and share curricular innovations in character education to cultivate virtuous engineering leaders.
- Virtual/Online Learning
- Make remote learning more effective and inspire students with faculty-tested tips and tools.
- Workforce for Industry 4.0
- Develop a consensus among industry, academia, policy makers, professional societies and accreditors on preparing graduates of engineering and engineering technology programs for Industry 4.0 and beyond.

The Canvas
Didn't find a group that fit your needs? You can create one!
But before you click the Create button on the Group landing page, please view the Minimum Viable Community Canvas. This template (which will prompt you to make a copy, then open in Google Slides) allows you to sketch out what you are thinking and can be a great tool to communicate with potential members.
