ACED committee are proud to announce our first in a series of virtual roadshows will take place on the 18th November 2026.
Civil Engineering Curriculum 2035
The civil engineering profession is evolving rapidly in response to global challenges, technological advances, changing industry expectations and the transition to a net-zero future. As universities prepare graduates for careers that may look very different from those of today, important questions arise about the knowledge, skills and attributes that tomorrow’s engineers will need.
In this thought-provoking session, Professor James Norman, Professor of Sustainable Design at the University of Bath and Vice Chair of the Joint Board of Moderators (JBM), will explore the future direction of civil engineering education and the implications for curriculum design. Drawing on his extensive experience across academia, professional accreditation and engineering practice, James will share perspectives on emerging priorities for the discipline and how institutions can adapt to meet the needs of students, industry and society over the coming decade
