A new formula for team work The plan

A new ‘formula’ for team work

The plan – Teamwork within the new engineering curriculum – Implementation of team work activities – Pedagogy of educational team work

Our New Engineering Programmes; • Automotive Engineering • Aerospace Engineering • Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering • Mechanical Engineering • Mechatronics Engineering • Motorsport Engineering

Traditionally; • Engineering & applied sciences tend to use group projects to demonstrate group work - often as a means of satisfying PSRB’s – however this can work both very well & poorly. • The IMech. E have gone as far as to develop their own event to nurture group work……
