Introduction • Drivers: • Engineering education reform • Globalisation and mobility • Pathways • Engineers for the Future: - Addressing the supply and quality of Australian engineering graduates for the 21stcentury, (King, 2008): • Raise the public perception of engineering (“…including within primary and secondary schools …”) • Implement best-practice engineering education (“…define curricula more strongly around engineering problem solving, engineering application and practice, and develop the themes of design...”) • Two Federally funded projects: • Design Based Curriculum Reform within Engineering Education (Australian Learning and Teaching Council) • Australian Technology Network (ATN) Engineering in Schools (Collaboration and Structural Reform)
Key Contributions • CDIO Syllabus linked into the Australian context • Engineers Australia Graduate Attributes • Washington Accord Graduate Attributes • Queensland University of Technology Graduate Capabilities • Extended CDIO framework recognising preparatory levels of proficiency • Resources and tools
Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Graduate Capabilities Engineers Australia (EA) Graduate Attributes Attributes, Capabilities, Outcomes and Other Things Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Student Outcomes Washington Accord Graduate Attributes
QSA Senior Engineering Technology Curriculum • Applyknowledge to unfamiliar and/or complex engineering problems • Usemathematical concepts and techniques in preparing and interpreting engineering data • Investigateand analyse engineering problems, and identify and prioritise their critical elements • Proposeand validate possible solutions to engineering problems • Selectsuitable engineering solutions by drawing conclusions based on the evidence gathered • Evaluate proposed solutions in terms of their capacity to solve engineering problems, • Meetenvironmental and societal needs, and comply with appropriate benchmarks and standards.
Preparatory Context • Highly controlled in a highly supervised environment • Limited scope and context of topics, and learning activities • Outcomes are generally aligned with graduate attribute statements, however thelevels of proficiency are somewhat limited in comparison
Conclusions • Summary • CDIO Syllabus (v 4.2.3) linked into the Australian context for mobility • Extended CDIO framework recognising preparatory levels of proficiency (Bloom’s v1) • Curriculum mapping demonstrator • Looking Forward • Link to Revised CDIO Syllabus • Integrated Curriculum Information System (ICUS)
