Centre hosts first Integrated Engineering International Symposium
10 June 2024
On 3-5 June, the UCL Centre for Engineering Education hosted the first Integrated Engineering International Symposium in the wonderful location of the IET in Savoy Place.
This invite only event, part of the celebrations of 10 years of the UCL Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP) brought together the engineering educational leaders within institutions around the world who are already leading this in space with those who have made a clear commitment to engaging with integration across their school/faculty/department/programme(s). It also included highly regarded experts with experience of breaking down the disciplinary barriers associated with interdisciplinarity/trans-disciplinarity, best-practice capture and world-wide dissemination, embedding reflective practice in our curricula, or recognising and removing the negative hidden curriculum within our engineering programmes.
The event aimed to bring together an international community to share our challenges and better support each other in our leading roles. To achieve this, the meeting formulated a pluralistic idea and vision for modern engineering education through the lens of integration that is accessible and connected to people and institutions leading and engaging in integrated engineering programme, in all forms, across the globe.
