Technology is advancing at a dizzying pace across mechanical and digital platforms. Today's students must graduate comfortable and adept in a technology-driven world. They must be able to work with technology, or risk being replace by it.

Much attention has been given in academia, politics, and the media to growing and enhancing STEM curricula, knowledge, and skills. Little attention has been paid to fostering non-STEM students' skills to interact with, source, and manage advanced technology they will not fully understand. Yet students preparing to enter careers in business, design, government policy, global trade, and law must graduate with the comfort and skills to utilize technology that includes robotics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things (IoT).

How can we, as faculty and/or administrators, identify the core competencies students in the business, design, policy, and trade curricula will need to excel in a technology-driven world? How can we, as faculty and/or administrators, foster a facility to interact with and manage advanced technology among students who are not following an engineering, science, or data technology track? How can we ensure our non-STEM students graduate with the knowledge and skills to compete and succeed in an increasingly complex, technologically-advanced world?

This presentation will unpack in detail the needs and the solutions to fostering student success, as seen through the eyes of someone with feet equally planted in industry and teaching.
