Completed research projects
Below is a selection of some of the Centre's completed projects.
In partnership with Engineers Without Borders UK and funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering this project is a small-scale exploratory study on ‘Global Responsibility in Engineering’. The project looks at the extent to which global responsibility is embedded into engieneering practice.
Funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering, the project is a partnership with the Engineering Professors’ Council that explores the current and anticipated impact of the Brexit decision on both European engineering students and staff currently studying and working in the UK.
INSYSTED aims to enhance the quality of education and teaching in the Management and Industrial Engineering a in a European context, through the creation of an innovative, integrated and replicable learning digital and non-digital environment. The project aims to the skills of engineering educators and students in the usage of complex digital learning tools, and support their ability to interact digitally with peers and professionals in the learning community.
This research project aimed to explore the extent to which diversity and inclusion have been embedded within the IEP and the wider engineering curriculum.
An ESRC project researching the forms of expertise engineers require to work in client-facing interprofessional project team. These types of teams are a common feature of the work of engineers employed by consulting firms and have hitherto been under- researched, even though they employ significant numbers of engineers.
A key transition point for all graduates is the move from higher education into employment. In the case of engineering graduates, this transition is often marked by entry onto a corporate graduate development programme (GDP) and the beginning of a journey from campus to corporate capability building. This project documents and analyses observations of work-based learning practices across a GDP.
