| Sažetak: | The traditional approach to teaching engineering problem solving, where students are limited to finding purely technical solutions, is beginning to be critiqued in the light of rapid globalisation, and an increasing acceptance of the need for graduate engineers to locate technical requirements within their social, economic and environmental context. Students need to learn to take responsibility for their learning, to develop new ways of questioning the world around them and to apply this to real world, messy problems. In this project an interdisciplinary team of scholars from four Universities, together with an emerging Australian wide Enthusiasts network, and in collaboration with Engineers Without Borders Australia, will develop curriculum maps, implement pedagogical strategies and explore their effectiveness in helping students to pass through a threshold of learning and graduate as Engineers who work towards Social and Environmental Justice. This is the final report from the project. |
