Euro-Asia Collaboration for Enhancing STEM Education

- EASTEM is a capacity-building project funded by Erasmus+ with the aim of improving employability of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) graduates from partner universities by ensuring students acquire skills needed in the workplace. EASTEM uses approaches from student-centred STEM education to develop the competence of lecturers and bridge the gap between industry and universities. Over the course of three full years (2019-2022) the project brought together ten universities from Asia and three universities from Europe to work together on improving STEM education, creating a platform for partner universities to exchange best practices on student-centred STEM education. Two associate partners, the Ministry of Education and Training of Vietnam and Vietnam Electronics Industries Association are supporting EASTEM activities.

QAEMP : en verktygslåda för att utveckla ingenjörsutbildning med hjälp av kritiska vänner
- 2015
-
Ingår i: 5:e Utvecklingskonferensen för Sveriges ingenjörsutbildningar. - Uppsala : Uppsala universitet. ; , s. 24-26
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- På denna workshop kommer vi att jobba med en process för att förbättra ingenjörsutbildning. Kärnan i denna process är en modell för Cross-Sparring där olika utbildningar agerar kritiska vänner. Grunden för Cross-Sparring utgörs av en självvärdering där utbildningsprogrammet identifierar vilka kvalitetskriterier man vill ha hjälp utifrån för att förbättra. En del av processen består i att dokumentera Best Practice som man kan dela med sig av på en Market Place och genom att koppla Best Practice till kvalitetskriterier gör dem effektivt sökbara.Utifrån detta underlag kan man sedan hitta lämpliga partners för Cross-Sparring.

Comparison of hiring and promotion criteria linked to teaching, educational development and professional engineering skills
- 2013
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 9th International CDIO Conference, Cambridge, USA.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Within the higher education system, criteria for promotion based on research quality and contribution are well established and widely accepted. For teaching, on the other hand, such criteria have generally not been developed and implemented to the same degree. This poses a challenge for the implementation of the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) standards 9 and 10, which deal with the enhancement of faculty CDIO skills and faculty teaching skills. To be able to implement these standards successfully, universities need to have in place effective ways of evaluating teaching contribution and professional engineering experience. To support the implementation of CDIO standards 9 and 10, excellence in teaching and progressive educational development based on engineering experience must be acknowledged and rewarded.This paper compares hiring and promotion policies and criteria for the evaluation of teaching contribution and educational development in four selected universities in Europe and North America. Conclusions are drawn with regard to the CDIO standards 9 and 10 and perspectives for future development of such criteria discussed.

The Power of Self-evaluation Based Cross-Sparring in Developing the Quality of Engineering Programmes
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Engineering Education for a Smart Society. - Cham : Springer Berlin/Heidelberg. - 9783319609379 - 9783319609362 ; , s. 158-174

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper discusses how the quality of engineering education can be improved in practice by using a process of sharing and critique. Starting with a self-evaluation followed by a cross-sparring with critical friends, this new approach has proven successful in initiating change. With a focus on quality enhancement as much as quality assurance, the engagement in and attractiveness of the engineering education are key considerations of the development activities that are inspired by the process. In the process programmes are paired with appropriate partners and, using the self-evaluation as a foundation, the cross-sparring enables each partner the best opportunities to learn from each other. The approach has been developed in an ERASMUS + project involving eight European universities and has been called QAEMP (Quality Assurance and Enhancement Market Place).
