ee2008: International conference on innovation, good practice and research in engineering education
This international conference on innovation, good practice and research in engineering education took place on 14 -16 July 2008, at Loughborough University, England.
The conference was dedicated to enhancing the quality of higher education in all engineering disciplines and served as a forum for the sharing of innovation and good practice, providing delegates with the opportunity to critically and creatively engage with new ideas and research that might help them develop their own approach to learning, teaching and assessment.
The conference was of interest to those:
- Involved with teaching engineering in higher and further education
- Supporting staff and students in engineering departments
- Conducting research and development in engineering education
- Developing policy and practice relevant to engineering education in professional institutions and government organisations
Keynote speeches are available to view online:
- Welcome address from Loughborough University's Vice Chancellor, Professor Shirley Pearce C.B.E
