Larsen, Peter Gorm; Kristiansen, Erik Lasse; Bennedsen, Jens; Bjerge, Kim – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2017
In general engineering studies focus on the technical skills in their own discipline. However, in their subsequent industrial careers, a significant portion of their time needs to be devoted to non-technical skills. In addition, in an increasingly globalised world collaboration in teams across cultures and disciplines is paramount to the creation…

Kunberger, Tanya – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2013
In order to develop the evaluative skills necessary for successful performance of design, a senior, Geotechnical Engineering course was revised to immerse students in the complexity of the design process utilising a project-based learning (PBL) approach to instruction. The student-centred approach stresses self-directed group learning, which…

de Vere, Ian; Melles, Gavin; Kapoor, Ajay – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2010
Product design is the convergence point for engineering and design thinking and practices. Until recently, product design has been taught either as a component of mechanical engineering or as a subject within design schools but increasingly there is global recognition of the need for greater synergies between industrial design and engineering…

Gavin, K. G. – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2010
This paper describes the design of the curriculum for a Master of Engineering programme in civil engineering at University College Dublin. The revised programme was established to meet the requirements of the Bologna process and this paper specifically considers the design of a new, second-cycle master's component of the programme. In addition to…

Van Biesen, Leo Pierre; Rahier, Hubert; Vanherzeele, Herman; Willem, Rudolph; Hubin, Annick; Veretennicoff, Irina; Deblauwe, Nico; Ponet, Mireille – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2009
The Bologna process has triggered an important change in the course outline towards a sustainable, transparent and quality-driven European education system. In Belgium, engineering education had to be completely revised. The transformation of the former system, leading to the degree of academic engineer after five years of study, into the typical…
