Abstract

This interactive session is for HE educators seeking to align their teaching to Advance HE's strategic objectives of incorporating "experiential learning, working in multidisciplinary teams on real-world challenges pivotal in cultivating essential competencies key to student success". Hear how Engineering academics collaborated with Enterprise Educators to deliver an MSc module tackling the UNSDG's wicked problems. Our case study includes a framework and toolkit which we will explore during the session so that your takeaways enable you to develop and deliver exciting new inclusive and impactful learning that empowers students to thrive in an increasingly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) world.
