Curriculum Development

Curriculum development is the systematic process that defines and delivers what will be taught, who will be taught, and how they will be taught within an engineering education. It involves the planned, purposeful, progressive, and holistic process to create positive improvements in an education system so that our graduates are best prepared to maximise their future. As such it draws together threads of core content, engineering and transferable skills and pedagogic approaches to create an amalgamated set of learning experiences to meet the intended programme-level outcomes.

Our Mission

This special interest group aims to provide a forum to support all colleagues who are engaging in the review, definition and revision of engineering curricula. It works to highlight innovative curriculum models, showcase tools to support curriculum development and to nurture and empower the leadership needed to implement curriculum change. It works closely with other SIGs who focus on elements of the curriculum or who support capacity building of staff to support curriculum change.
