SEMS Seminar Series: Prof Mike Bramhall, TEDI-London
Date: Wednesday 8 February 2023 15:00 - 16:00
Location: People's Palace 2 and Teams
Project Based Learning at The Engineering and Design Institute (TEDI)-London
The talk will be about the development of the BEng/ MEng in Global Design Engineering at TEDI-London, and the use of Project Based Learning as the main focus of learning activities. The programme has been designed to attract a diverse cohort of students with up to 50% female, with entry requirements not necessarily requiring traditional A levels in Maths and Physics. The programme is now in its second year of delivery and the talk will concentrate on the design, admissions process and the delivery of the programme so far. There will be some examples of student output and success, and the learning gained by the teaching team going forward as the institution scales up its operation.
