Engineering Practice Research Summit 15-17 July
The Teaching and Learning Laboratory in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at The University of Melbourne in collaboration with Engineers Australia will host the inaugural Engineering Practice Research Summit in Melbourne on 15-17 July 2024.
The Summit will bring together researchers and stakeholders of engineering practice. During the three days of the Summit, delegates will make brief presentations and provocations, and build on these in discussions, leading to positions on future research and support to inform engineering education and ensure sustainable engineering capability.
Nature Chemical Engineering publishes Professor David Shallcross’ review of trends in chemical engineering education
Modern chemical engineering curricula must change to meet the demands of the forthcoming digital and sustainable process revolutions, argues Professor David Shallcross, an eminent chemical engineer in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.
Professor Shallcross has written an opinion piece for the first edition of a new journal, Nature Chemical Engineering, along with five other leading chemical engineering educators, who reimagine the undergraduate curriculum, showcasing its strengths and areas needing development.
