Azuma Design’s Post

Often, the best projects we get involved in are through serendipity. I started teaching Engineering Design at UCT in 2015. Soon, I was interacting with the D-School on how to fuse System Engineering (which teaches us "how" to design it right) with Design Thinking (which helps us to find the "right" thing to design). Since then we have been experimenting with pedagogy to train our students with both these skills. The following post summarises this journey so elegantly. #DesignThinking #SystemEngineering #Engineering #UCT #Design #Innovation #Pedagogy https://lnkd.in/gU_awb-K

Proud to Announce the Launch of the Engineering Society at the University of Sunderland! 🤖 I’m incredibly excited to share that we have officially founded the Engineering Society at the University of Sunderland! This society is a platform for innovation, collaboration, and pushing the boundaries of what we can achieve as engineers. Our first big event? We’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be hosting a Battle Bots Competition right here at the university! This competition will challenge creativity, problem-solving, and engineering skills, and we can’t wait to see the incredible designs that participants will bring to life. The best part? Anyone can join! Whether you’re an engineering student or simply someone who loves building, creating, and problem-solving, this is your chance to be part of something exciting. This wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing team that’s driving this society forward: - Jose Saurith - President - Fatima Zahra Lasri – Vice President - Ahnaf Amin – Treasurer - Aurelie Janete – Media Management Together, we’re working to make this society a hub for innovation, inspiration, and hands-on learning. If you’re interested, don’t hesitate to reach out or scan the QR code on our posters around campus to join us. Let’s shape the future of engineering together!

Industrial design education includes engineering mechanics, finite element analysis, material science, and manufacturability, etc. Then there's product safety regulations, ergonomics, and more. It's _very_ different from UX. But it's not considered a STEM field. Is it because industrial designers cultivate aesthetic capabilities through years of dedicated practice? Is it because our definition of STEM actively _excludes_ aesthetics? Aesthetics is an area where you can instantly see if something is good, but where it takes years, even decades, to be able to do it.

Highly recommended to check it out if you want to pursue your Masters in Industrial Design for the next academic year.

✨The University of Canterbury's Faculty of Engineering is at the forefront of advancing engineering education through a variety of initiatives. These include mentorship programs, a renewed emphasis on diversity and inclusion, alignment with the new graduate attributes outlined by Engineering New Zealand Te Ao Rangahau and the Washington Accord (including ethics, bicultural competence, and sustainability), hosting a Major International Conference (Australasian Association for Engineering Education) and an Annual Learning and Teaching Workshop. Our evolving curriculum and teaching methods are designed to address the dynamic changes brought about by artificial intelligence, ensuring a robust approach to ethics, indigenous values, and wisdom, as appropriate to the New Zealand context, and other critical areas. In this context, the establishment of an engineering education research group is a natural progression. During a recent discussion with IEEE Education Society (EdSoc) President Martín Llamas Nistal, a professor at the atlanTTic Research Center, University of Vigo, Spain, and Past President Edmundo Tovar, a professor at the Technical University of Madrid the idea of forming a local IEEE Education Society chapter in New Zealand South is a possibility. Such a chapter could enhance existing efforts, fostering collaboration and innovation in engineering education at regional and global levels. ✨The importance of engineering education lies in its potential to integrate what we have learned about learning as both an art and a science over the last two decades. By applying these insights, we can enhance recruitment and retention and further positive student experience and deepen alumni engagement.

Its tragic that the quote "Ryan added that D&T is not just a practical subject and that “making is only 15% of it, while the other 85% involves ideation, problem-solving and innovating”. was drummed for 20 years if not 40 years yet, the field remains absolutely foreign to conservative and left leaning ideologies alike. Imagine being a scholar and child teacher of mathematics or science, never having too explain and justify their curriculum existence.

"On 24 May 2024, I had the opportunity to participate in a Paper Presentation at SNS College of Engineering. It was a valuable experience that expanded my knowledge, honed my presentation skills, and allowed me to engage with peers and faculty in meaningful discussions. #PaperPresentation #SNSCollegeOfEngineering #Learning #AcademicGrowth #ResearchSkills #KnowledgeSharing"

Building Confidence: Hands-on Design in Engineering Science Courses Engineering students often struggle to connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications. A recent study by Gordon Krauss from Harvey Mudd College explores how integrating hands-on design exercises into engineering science courses can boost student confidence (ICED 23 Proceedings). https://lnkd.in/gSaMcCkb Join the "Design is a Team Sport" movement at ICED25 Dallas. How can engineering curricula be improved to better integrate design and application? What are some effective strategies for promoting student confidence in engineering courses? Share your experiences with incorporating hands-on activities into your engineering teaching.
