Presentation Transcript

  1. Internationalising Engineering ....but isn’t it international already? Marco Federighi, Engineering Sciences

  2. The quantitative bedrock • The language: mathematics • Testing: lab experiments • Uncertainties: error bars • The tools: computers, lab equipment ...........but......... • The users: people

  3. The qualitative side • In the design process: teams • In the way products are perceived and used • Functional vs. Aesthetic • Example: cars – Chelsia Lau and Ford • Example: successful public spaces • ....what about the engineering curriculum?

  4. Studying engineering: UK-SPEC • Underpinning science and mathematics • Analysis • Design • Context • Professional practice 3, 4 and 5 are influenced by culture

  5. Internationalising projects • The triangular model (Stanford CDR) UCL Partner University Partner Company • Where: USA, China, Rwanda, Australia

  6. Internationalising programmes • 150 hours/module x 8 modules = 1200 hours • Bologna: 1200 hours + 300 hours = 1500 hours • Giving structure to the 300 hours: MOI (Management of Innovation) • Language and culture seminars • Mini-projects • Masterclasses • Workshops • Summer schools
