About the Lecture
The state-of-the-art facilities of UCL EAST and the interconnection of Experiments, Arts, Society and Technology on the Olympic Park are allow for exciting new taught programmes opportunities and exciting interdisciplinary and research-based ways of teaching. At the core of many of the programmes being developed is the concept of experiential learning. Drawing on the connected curriculum, students undertake academically rigorous programmes while also applying their knowledge to authentic projects or activities informed by world-leading interdisciplinary research. This talk will explore the theory and practice of designing such integrated programmes and show examples from the UCL EAST portfolio of programmes.
About Experiential Learning and Research Hub
The Experiential Learning and Research Hub will foster the next generation of engineering leaders to create innovative and integrated solutions that enable and lead positive change to improve society. It will be home to a team of researchers who will guide, develop and evaluate the effectiveness of UCL East’s innovative teaching spaces and programmes. This will provide a critical feedback loop to the engineering education community.
