The UK & Ireland Engineering Education Research Network celebrates its fifth anniversary this year with a symposium hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineering.

The Engineering Education Research Network is a professional engineering educators’ forum that provides colleagues interested in promoting evidence-based practice in engineering education with the means by which to meet, discuss and exchange ideas, and learn from each other. The network celebrates its fifth anniversary this year and the theme for the event is Time for change! Challenging the status quo in engineering education.

 

The annual Recruitment and Admissions Forum took place at the Manchester Metropolitan University on 15th November 2017 convened by EPC Recruitment and Admissions Sub-Committee chair, Dr Georgina Harris.

The Engineering Professors’ Council Annual Congress 2017 took place at the University of Coventry on 11-13 September.

The Degree Apprenticeships Forum was held jointly with the RAEng on 7th July, and involved a discussion of the considerations for academia in the development of DAs in engineering. Peter Lauener, Chief Executive of the Institute for Apprenticeships was the keynote for the event. Please see the ‘Programme’ tab to access the presentations from the day.

19 June at The Crystal, 1 Siemens Brothers Way, E16 1GB 

Organised by Engineers Without Borders UK, the Grand Finals will bring together the top 36 teams from universities across the UK and Ireland to come and showcase their design solutions.

You will have the opportunity to view the exhibition showcasing each team selected for the finals as well as presentations from the top 6 teams selected by a panel of expert judges. There will also be a series of speakers from across the engineering community.

To attend the event, please register here.

This AAU day of activities will start with a Committee meeting in the morning followed by the free annual Flight Simulation and Universities Seminar in the afternoon in partnership with L3 Commercial Training Solutions as last year. Please follow the links for a provisional agenda, details of the Seminar and a location map.



If you wish to attend, it is absolutely essential to register with Barry Tomlinson (RAeS Flight Simulation Group) and, if you need a car parking space, please contact our Chief Host Neil Sears. Last year’s seminar proved to be breathtakingly successful with superb presentations by students and this year’s should be equally exciting.

The Further Mathematics Support Programme (FMSP) is holding a one-day event in Manchester on 21st March 2017.

The aim of the day is to discuss the major developments in level 3 mathematics and the implications of these changes for recruitment of undergraduates. New A level Mathematics and Further Mathematics specifications begin first teaching in September 2017. Along with the other reformed A levels these will be linear courses with AS grades no longer counting towards the A level grade. In summer 2016 almost 3000 students took the new Core Maths qualifications, which are designed to extend students’ mathematical skills beyond GCSE, focusing on problem-solving and modelling.

The event will be of particular interest to departmental admissions tutors, heads of department, directors of studies for 1st year courses, widening participation coordinators and outreach coordinators. By attending the event you will have more detailed information about the changes and the potential impact they may have on the curriculum offered to 16-19 year old students in England.

There will be opportunities to discuss with colleagues how HEIs can respond to these changes and provide clear signals to schools and colleges, students and their parents, to encourage appropriate mathematical preparation for different degree subjects.

There is no charge for attendance. The event is on 21st March 2017 at Manchester Meeting Place, Staff House, Sackville Street, Manchester, M1 3AL. If you have any queries or for more information email: admin@furthermaths.org.uk You can download the flyer or a document on the Health of Further Maths.

The 9th edition of the SEFI/CESAER European Convention for Engineering Deans, Directors and Departments Heads – A University Dialogue will be hosted and organised by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) on 3-4 April 2017.

The final programme is now available.
