Teaching Transversal Skills for Engineering Students | Joelyn de Lima | Nov 29
This interactive talk focusing on developing students’ transversal skills, is based on the evidence-informed, scholarly output from a multi-year translational research project - 3T PLAY. You will discover open-source activities that you can adapt for your own context, which are complemented by a framework for designing experiential learning activities focusing on transversal skills. These activities have been conducted in 20 countries on 4 continents and the participants have found them to be valuable in influencing their teaching practice.
