This document discusses old and new paradigms for college students to gain opportunities and develop competencies. The old paradigm focused on passive learning through classes, assignments, and advice from faculty. The new paradigm emphasizes developing leading-edge skills, assignments focused on competencies, and advice to cultivate an active professional mindset. It also recommends orienting research, events, and specialized topics towards societal demands and involving students and alumni. The goal is for the curriculum to influence society and economy by actively engaging with professional organizations, research, and industry needs.
