New skills have emerged in
the engineering and manufacturing industries and include
the ability to: cooperate, motivate others, self-manage,
project plan, communicate and manage finances. These
skills can be formed through experiential learning strategies,
which allow the student to be in charge of their own
learning, draw on their previous experience and knowledge,
and develop their own understanding of fundamental concepts
of engineering sciences.
Part one - Final report of this project entitled "A
new paradigm to guide engineering learning and culture" has
six components which cover the following topics:
- Seamless Education System (SES) - a kaizen approach
- Project Centred Learning (PCL) Model
- Advancing vocational practice through knowledge sharing:
a case-study review
- Assessment guidelines, Recognition of Prior Learning
and Current Competencies (RPL & RCC)
- Developing a National Community of Practice: Networking
and collaborating, and
- Recommendations
