Prospects for Professional Engineering Education in the Asia-Pacific Region (eBook, PDF)

A Historical Case Study of the University of Tasmania

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines professional engineering education in the Asia-Pacific region in the context of the history of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tasmania. It chronicles the development of professional engineering education at the University of Tasmania following the establishment of schools/faculties of engineering in Australia and New Zealand in the late 1890's. For its 100th anniversary celebration, former graduates of the university were invited to contribute a written or oral 'pitch' on their experience as undergraduates and their subsequent careers a engineers, managers, and leaders. Their stories, reproduced in this book, show a deep appreciation of their time as students. Their careers are a testament to their training.

In the second decade of the 21st century, the style of learning and teaching at universities changed dramatically. First, there was the change to student-centered teaching, then followed the move to online delivery which was consolidated through COVID-19. Constructive alignment followed with delivered material aligned to Intended Learning Outcomes, assessment tasks and Engineers Australia Stage 1 Competencies for Professional Engineers. Post COVID-19, there has been a slow return to face-to-face teaching. This is a particular challenge for engineering students because of the need for 'hands on' experience in laboratories. This book examines the challenges in training engineers for the future and considers the future of professional engineering education.

Autorenporträt

Dr Peter Doe graduated from the University of Tasmania with Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Engineering (with Honours) degrees in 1963. After 18 months working as an engineer in the Hydraulics Section of the Hydro Electric Commission in Tasmania, he accepted an offer of a lectureship in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tasmania. Over the next 8 years he completed a PhD while lecturing over range of units (subjects). In a career spanning 40 years his research focused on the application of heat and mass transfer principles to such diverse applications as hop drying, fish drying in developing countries, and timber seasoning. From 1996 to 2000 he was Head of Engineering on the UTAS campus in Launceston and for a short time was also Head of Architecture. He retired from his position as Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering in the UTAS School of Engineering in 2003. He returned to full time work in 2006 as Head of Engineering at the Australian College of Kuwait (ACK).

As well as leading and teaching at the ACK, Peter was responsible for the design and establishment of an articulation pathway from the existing diplomas in civil, mechanical and electrical engineering to corresponding Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree courses at the University of Tasmania. After returning to Hobart in 2009 Peter continued teaching part-time and in 2013 was one of the authors of the School of Engineering's accreditation application. From 2012 to 2017 he managed the school's international engineering articulation (2+2) programs. In 2016 Peter was appointed Project Manager of the Office of Learning and Teaching strategic grant titled "Engineering Pathways for Regional Australia: viable learning platforms built by knowledge partnering". In 2018 and 2019 he was a part-time lecturer in the University College at the University of Tasmania delivering mechanical and electrical units to students in an associate degree program. Since 2010, in collaboration with co-author and wife, Dr Seeta Jaikaran-Doe, he has taken an active interest in Engineering Education and has authored or co-authored 11 journal and conference papers in that field. Dr Doe is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers, Australia. He has edited a book (on fish smoking and drying), written 13 chapters in books, and has published more than 80 journal and conference papers.
