ABSTRACT: This paper is an attempt to circumscribe briefly the evolution and the
revolution of the Global Society in which we live (usually called the
Transformative Society) that embedded a huge change in technologies,
digitalization, and knowledge-based economy. We need to develop future oriented
curricula for “a new university paradigm” that adjust dynamically with the
needs of the society and the employers to make the students straightforwardly
ready from an output of the new model of university to a swift productive input
for the employers. This will help the economy to be more competitive and
improve the wellbeing of the Citizens in terms of health and better quality of
life. While a traditional University sells degrees, the New Model of University
we are offering sells skills for students and prospective employees who want to
be life learners equipped with the cutting
edge technologies and knowhow. We will use coop programs, in-field
learning, and international internships to exchange with worldwide student through a wealth of network.
