An important characteristic of the technologicaldevices that support performing arts is that they involvea strong component of creativity and initative. Dueto this nature, work in this type of projects becomes wellsuitedfor engineering education, since it promotes motivationand the development of both technical and nontechnicalskills.In this paper we present a flexible framework, consistingin structure and methodology proposals, for an engineeringeducation program that aims to design, build and operateprojects that support performing arts. The proposed frameworkis still under evaluation, but has already shown interestingresults in terms of improvement of motivation andskills.

Engineering education is the application of scientific, economic, social and practical knowledge to invent, create, design, build, maintain, research and improve structures machines, devices, systems, materials and processes. Engineering education is therefore an important component of innovation. The various innovations brought about by engineering education has delineated various countries along the lines of power and there is a dichotomy between them. Key among this is the separation between the Global North and the Global South. Innovation is a process and application of a new or meaningfully amended creation that needs long term commitment, resources and innovative climate in an organization. Findings from the study revealed that power dynamics is present in all situation and it takes different forms. It influences and shapes relationship. The study therefore recommends that there is a need to intensify efforts on engineering education in developing countries to create more innovations in the 21st century and effort should be geared towards the use and application of these innovations.

Design Build

A Design-Build-Test (DBT) course in electronics is presented. The course is designed based on the CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate) framework for engineering education. It is part of the curriculum of two engineering programs at Linköping University, Sweden, where it has been given successfully for a number of years. The cornerstones of the course consist of carefully designed learning outcomes based on the CDIO Syllabus, a structured project management model such that the project tasks are carried out according to professional and industry-like routines, with well-designed organisation of the staff supporting the course, and challenging project tasks.

The Impact

This article presents an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) task developed for teaching aeronautical engineering students. The task Design-Build-Write rests on the assumption that engineering students are skilled at mathematical reasoning, problem solving, drawing and constructing. In Gardner’s 1983 Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory, these skills strongly correspond to the logical-mathematical, bodily-kinesthetic and spatial intelligences. The current task combines creativity, innovation and problem solving with the description of technical concepts. An enthusiastic learner response in class suggests that the target group of aeronautical engineering students could be engaged and captivated by this assignment.
