In this episode, we welcome Prof. Euan Lindsay to discuss how tailored and problem-based learning transforms engineering education. By engaging students with real-world design challenges, fostering teamwork, and embracing iterative learning, we explore ways to build resilience, interdisciplinary skills, and adaptability - preparing students to navigate the complexities of modern engineering.

In Episode 3, Dr. Yannis Yortsos, Dr. Ken Ball, and Dr. Gerhard Müller are back to help unpack the possibilities and challenges of interdisciplinary learning and why it’s so important for preparing the next generation of engineers.

Episode 2, the podcast explores the role of AI in engineering education, with educators discussing how current programs often fall short in preparing students for complex modern technologies. The episode emphasizes the importance of adapting engineering education to meet these evolving demands.

In the debut episode of Season 2, Dr. Ken Ball (Dean, George Mason University), Dr. Gerhard Müller (Senior VP, TU Munich), Dr. Paloma Díaz (Dean, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), and Dr. Yannis Yortsos (Dean, USC) are discussing on the future of engineering education. They explore topics like cybersecurity engineering, AI in learning, and the importance of interdisciplinary skills in today’s workforce.

In the final episode of season one, Prof. Croft discusses advancing women’s representation and participation in engineering, open-ended learning, why you should be friends with mathematicians!

In this episode, Paul chats with Dr. Ramiro Jordan, an innovator, entrepreneur, but above all an educator. Ramiro touches on many topics, including his ground-breaking Peace Engineering initiative that brings the arts, STEM ,health sciences, and humanities together.
