A group of six visited from the Innovative Engineering Curriculum Project, a collaboration of multiple universities in South Africa, including University of Pretoria, University of Cape Town, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, University of Witwatersrand and Vaal University of Technology.
Following on from the IEC network visit in 2023, this visit was hosted by Dr Fiona Truscott (Associate Professor, IEP) and focused on team projects and how they are run within the Engineering Faculty. The group observed workshops setting up the team project and introducing social impact within the first year Engineering Challenges module, on how teams function within the first year Design and Professional Skills module and the group joined second year students undertaking scenario projects. We even squeezed in a visit to UCL’s new campus in Stratford!
