Areas of work

 

Consultancy is offered in four broad areas:

  1. •Commissioned research studies: national and international research and/or review studies aimed at informing and inspiring positive change in engineering higher education.  The outputs from these studies are typically published in the public domain (see recent publications).  Examples of such projects include the development of new measures of teaching achievement for the purposes of academic promotion (on behalf of the Royal Academy of Engineering), and an evaluation of the world’s most effective university-based entrepreneurial ecosystems operating outside established technology hubs (on behalf of MIT and Skoltech).

  1. •Targeted consultancy support: targeted advice, support and evaluations for individual organisations, universities and engineering schools.   Examples include ongoing support to the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (Chile) for their root-and-branch reform across the school of engineering, and an impact evaluation of the Bachelor College curriculum reform at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands.

  2. •Bespoke studies: specific programmes of enquiry in engineering education and technology-driven entrepreneurship to inform strategy and/or horizon-scanning for individual institutions or organisations.  The outputs from such studies are typically not published in the public domain.  Examples include an evaluation of national and international university ranking systems (on behalf or Skoltech, Russia) and an international review of approaches to engineering entrepreneurship education (on behalf of PUC, Chile).

  3. •International networks: bringing together universities, industry, professional bodies and government to develop international partnerships and strategies for change in engineering education and technology-driven entrepreneurship.
