Designing Inclusive Engineering Education – exploring what it means and how you can do it!
Addressing diversity and inclusion within an engineering degree can at times seem irrelevant or futile. The Centre for Engineering Education with Katalytik and the Royal Academy of Engineering will explore inclusion in the engineering education context. This free, two day symposium will provide a rich discussion with peers and experts on HE leadership, course and assessment design and team working around inclusion.
Please register for this free event through the Eventbrite link.
Day 1: Monday, 9th July, 10:30-16:00 – Royal Academy of Engineering, 3 Carlton House Terrace, St. James’s, London SW1Y 5DG.
Day 1 offers a platform for an open and frank discussion about how engineering faculties are setting themselves up to create graduates that appreciate and value that they will not only be working alongside diverse professionals but that they will be designing products and services across humanity.
Breakouts focus on gaps and creating new resources and communities of practice.
Report Launch and Reception: Monday, 9th July 2018, 17:00-20:00 – Royal Academy of Engineering, 3 Carlton House Terrace, St. James’s, London SW1Y 5DG.
Day 2: Tuesday, 10th July, 09:00-15:45 – UCL, 1-19 Torrington Place, London WC1E 7HB.
The focus for Day 2 is on sharing knowledge and practice from engineering disciplines around the four pillars. Facilitators will draw good practice together and extend thinking to collect case studies to share and Pillar 1 and 2 will run in parallel in the first session and Pillar 3 and 4 in the second session.
Breakout workshops will focus on the 4 pillars for knowledge sharing ideas and good practice.

Engineers Without Borders UK invites you to spend the afternoon at the Engineering for People Design Challenge Grand Finals 2018.
This year 6,000 students have participated in the Engineering for People Design Challenge which has been run in partnership with their international partner Kounkuey Design Initiative. Student teams this year have focused on providing ideas for engineering solutions to address some of the challenges faced by the residents of Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya.
The Grand Finals will bring together the top 36 teams from universities across the UK and Ireland to come and showcase their design solutions and be in with a chance of winning one of the top prizes.

A Connected Engineering Curriculum – Learning Through Enquiry and Practice
Engineers increasingly find themselves tasked to envision, invent, and construct creative solutions to Grand Challenges. Over the years, insightful solutions have required ever more creativity and greater integration of interdisciplinary ideas. While established fundamentals still form the invariant foundation for engineering practice, the Engineer of Tomorrow will certainly require a different perspective than engineers in the past. How can universities support today’s aspiring engineers in preparation for the uncertain challenges they will be facing tomorrow?
A favoured approach is immersing the student experience with engineering fundamentals applied to interdisciplinary practice which directly address the world’s Grand Challenges. This approach enables students to learn through active discovery, via classic enquiry and coupled practice, and to discover how engineering concepts apply practically in complex, linked, interdisciplinary settings or scenarios. Engineering scenarios prepared in this framework expose students to the greater context and implications of engineering decisions in a social responsibility, and broader community, context. This connected approach fosters a cross disciplinary creative perspective, required to enable insightful engineering advances that deliver lasting social impact, as will be required in solving the uncertain challenges of tomorrow.
With a desire to create a Connected Engineering Curriculum, the major themes for ISEE 2018 are:
Contributions addressing one, or more, of these themes are invited. For further details http://www.engineering.ucl.ac.uk/centre-for-engineering-education/isee-2018/
