Redefining Competency Based Education: Competence for Life

A renewed debate about the value of a college education continues to impact employers and education providers. Is a four year degree really worth the ever increasing expense? What can colleges and universities do to improve the return on student investment? What do prospective employers really want from graduates? This book will describe why and how cross-cutting competencies have been adopted and blended with classic college curricula to prepare graduates for today's global workplace. The book will be divided into four sections. Section One will define cross-cutting competencies and examine their history in organizations and higher education. Section Two will introduce ways competencies can be integrated into current university curricula and identify the necessary tools and techniques. Section Three will examine one innovative undergraduate university model that is assessing and developing workplace competencies. Section Four will include case studies to further illustrate current use of competencies in a variety of academic and corporate settings.
