Monday 28 March, 3-5pm CET / 8-10 am Mexico / 9-11 am EST
Exposing students to real-life challenges is becoming increasingly popular in engineering education. This approach has differing implementations, influenced by the topic of application, the type of external partners engaged in the process, the method of assessing students, the vision of the institution as well as the educators’ own value systems and experiences. Our seminar explores four ways in which real-life problems have been brought to life, in four different institutional settings.
