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 IMechE have gone as far as to develop their own event to nurture group work…… CREATIVITY EMPLOYABILITY PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS SUSTAINABILITY USP Engineering Module ‘A’ Engineering Module ‘B’ (Mathematics) (Physics) Problem Solving: Practicing to be an Engineer :: Design Realisation and Visualisation :: Project Engineering Module ‘C’ Engineering Module ‘D’ (Engine Design) (CAD) (20 credits) (20 credits) (40 credits) (20 credits) (20 credits) ‘Club’ activities; extra-curricular • Club 1: Formula Renault – professional team & driver, competing internationally • Club 2: Formula Student – design exercise, prototyping, production & testing – competing • Club 3: Flight simulator – design exercise, prototyping, production • Club 4: Human powered flight – design exercise, prototyping, production & testing Our USP’s F1-Standard Wind Tunnel Design and Visualisation Composites CT Scanners ALM C&G Health and Safety Qualification USP Designed with Consultants Formula Renault - roles; • Team Principal David Tucker • Driver Shane Kelly • Race Engineer Matthew Fenton • Tyre Engineers / Pit Wall; (2-3 students) • Race Mechanics; (2-3 students) • Data Engineer; (1-2 students) • Technical liaison & logistics engineer; (1 student) • Control surface engineer (aerodynamics); (2-3 students) • Technical operations engineer; (1 student) • Social media editor; (2-3 students) IMechE Formula Student IMechE Formula Student So does this ‘team work’ – work? • 1 – team / race wear purchased – a change Formula Renault Formula Student Bloom’s Taxonomy The development cycle; Developing intellectual skills Vortex learning; Vortex learning; practise Semester-ised model; Where to next?
