Integrating industrial seminars within a graduate engineering programme

摘要

The benefit of external, often industry-based, speakers for a seminar series associated with both undergraduate\udand graduate programmes is relatively unchallenged. However, the means by which such a seminar\udseries can be encapsulated within a structured learning module, and the appropriate design of an accompanying\udassessment methodology, is not so obvious. This paper examines how such a learning module can be\udformulated and addresses the main issues involved in the design of such a module, namely the selection of\udspeakers, format of seminars, method of delivery and assessment methodology, informed by the objectives\udof the module.
