Work in progress: Multi-displinary curriculum review of engineering education. UCL's integrated engineering programme

摘要

Pressure from industry, professional bodies and students for a reform to the curriculum and delivery style of engineering education has been mounting for a number of years. Although there have been many excellent individual initiatives, developments that span a whole school or faculty, encompassing a number of disciplines and departments are far rarer. This paper describes a curriculum development programme across the UCL faculty of engineering sciences in the UK. It describes the motivation for change and some of the approaches adopted.
