CEE launches new course for engineering academics on 'curriculum transformation'

2 April 2025

UCL's Centre for Engineering Education experts from the Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) will deliver a two-day intensive course which will offer a unique opportunity to gain insights into Engineering Curriculum Design, drawing on the transformative experiences of the IEP.

Taking place on Monday 30 June - Tuesday 1 July 2025 on the UCL East campus, the Leading Engineering Curriculum Transformation: An Integrated Engineering Approach course is aimed at engineering academics in leadership roles in teaching and learning, including module and programme leaders, heads of education, heads of teaching and learning, faculty directors and associate deans for education.

The course will feature interactive workshops, case studies, collaborative design sessions, and facilitated discussions, equipping participants with the knowledge, insights, and confidence to implement PBL curriculum redesigns in their own institutions.

Participants will:

Explore the principles of PBL (problem and project based learning) and its application in engineering education.
Gain a deeper understanding of implementing a PBL curriculum, with lessons from the UCL IEP.
Delve into effective assessment design for PBL.
Learn how to adapt PBL for different engineering disciplines.
Examine strategies for working with accrediting bodies like the IET, IMechE, and ICE, incorporating real-world examples from the UCL IEP.
Discuss the redesign of engineering programmes in the context of GenAI, Industry 4.0, and Industry 5.0.
