Differing perspectives between Northern Ireland and Ireland illuminated at SEFI conference.
Our conference paper on the differing perspectives of engineering employers, academics and students was delivered to a large audience at the SEFI 2023 Engineering Education for Sustainability conference held in TU Dublin, 11-15th September 2023.
We described the findings of our survey to highlight agreement and dissonance in the views of people in the North and South with regard to the most important skills that engineers will need to solve the SDGs.
Whilst there were many overlaps, the discussion with attendees highlighted specific opportunities for academics in each jurisdiction to review engineering curricula with a focus on the most important competences. Full paper is included in SEFI 2023 conference proceedings (forthcoming) - but a sneak peek above!
