NORDTEK Engineering Education symposium will be organised on 13th of June.
Venue: M127 Voltaire & M128 Saussure | |
9.00-12.00 | Working group meetings (by invitation only): • Integrating global sustainability goals in higher education: This NORDTEK working group aims to share and discuss the good practices in the integration of SDGs in engineering education. The findings would help us to develop a joint understanding of the relevance of SDGs in the education of future engineers, and to facilitate and accelerate the integration of SDGs in the curricula of engineering degree programmes in Nordic and Baltic universities. (Leader: Elina Kähkönen elina.kahkonen@aalto.fi) • AI in Engineering Education: Artificial intelligence provides rapid changes in engineering education. While it creates both possibilities and threats, reacting to the changes early is important. In this group, we will discuss the opportunities of using AI in engineering education, at least in the following topics: • Generating, modifying, and evaluating study materials • Evaluating student performance • Assessing and grading answers • Instructing and assisting students Moreover, we discuss the chances AI creates in courses' workflow and the best ways to integrate it into the current teaching and learning processes. (Leader Erkki Kaila ertaka@utu.fi) If you would like to join one of the working groups, please write to the leader and ask if it is possible. |

VISION of the NORDTEK Engineering Education (NEE) group
NEE shall become a point of reference, which delivers facts on STEM education (with focus on engineering education) that contributes to the development for education that foster sustainable societal development in the Nordic region.
The aims of the NEE are to become / create:
- a platform for knowhow sharing in STEM education;
- a network where experiences can be shared and where it is possible to learn from each other;
- a node for supporting partner universities and external stakeholders by providing information about Nordic STEM education.
The programme details will be updated soon.
