CEE UTM Webinar Series : Implementing Change In Engineering Education

IMPLEMENTING CHANGE IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION: EXPERIENCE OF THE UCL INTEGRATED ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Pressure has been mounting for change in engineering education for some years. However, momentum in the academy makes radical changes to pedagogy or delivery difficult in the confines of existing traditional programmes. In 2012, UCL set out to make a major change across all its engineering programmes. The aim was to increase integration between disciplines and between the elements that students study as part of their degree programmes. The result, the integrated engineering programme, was launched in 2014 bringing project-based learning and integrated skills development to a cohort of around 3000 engineering students. This talk will look at the thought process for the design and consider the challenges and processes of making widespread change in an established research intensive university.
