#41 Roger V Gonzalez from UTEP USA on Adapting Engineering Education

Engineering is a global profession, with various efforts focusing on the globalisation of engineering practice. However, there are many differences between engineering education systems in different contexts.In this episode we discuss what we can learn by comparing engineering education across contexts with Professor Roger Gonzalez from The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), author of the monograph “Adapting Engineering Education to a Rapidly Changing World” which focuses on the differences between engineering education systems, particularly those associated with the UK and the USA.Join Dr. Natalie Wint (University College London) and Prof. Neil Cooke (University of Birmingham) to learn about the ways in which students are contributing their their own engineering education, and what we can learn from them.Timestamps0.00 Welcome and introduction to episode0.25 Podcast Intro0.50 Experiences with students collaboration from Natalie and Neil2.13 Introduction to Roger and his work5.04 Introduction to UTEP6.44 Why is this work needed and why now?10.15 How was the work conducted?12.44 Differences in terms of student admissions into engineering 15.58 Implications for widening access and participation 19.10 Why are there differences between contexts? 22.42 Differences in length and structure of programmes, teaching, learning and assessment and the role of student unions29.42 Differences in content of the degree33.01 Degree variants and the role of industry36.12 The role of Quality Assurance (QA) and student feedback and the role of funding45.24 Accreditation48.35 What can we learn from the differences?53.42 How do these learnings apply to other contexts and countries?54.47 How will engineering education change in the future; AI.1:02:35 Key Takeaways from Roger1:05:02 Key takeaways from Natalie and Neil Key ResourcesYou can access Roger’s monograph by following the link belowhttps://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-78908-3Join us!
