In the last 20 years, there have been numerous international reviews of engineering education, that have all recommended much the same changes: a re-balancing of the theory-practice components of professional engineering education, and the inclusion of more “real-world” problems with a focus on addressing societal needs.

It is also now clear that young engineers need more exposure to digital engineering, which is, increasingly, the focus of engineering practice. Engineering programs are also expected to make more use of e-learning and work integrated learning. It is likely that greater sharing of good practice will also be required.

This webinar will summarise this changing environment and outline the changes required at program and subject levels, through the integration of project-based and studio-based learning. Details of implementations at the University of Technology Sydney will illustrate how academic colleagues can be supported in making widespread curriculum change in traditional disciplines.

There will be time to consider how this might work in your program and there will be time to interact with colleagues from other places, plus time to ask questions
