Episode Synopsis

We can't really talk about engineering education without talking about engineering students. But in this episode we talk to them! We attempt to bridge the gap between engineering educators and students by directly asking them what they think. In so doing, we welcome Katrijn Vandenborne (current President of BEST) and Nadica Koloska (co-ordinator for the Educational Involvement Department) from the Board of European Students of Technology (BEST).Join Dr. Natalie Wint (University College London) and Prof. Neil Cooke (University of Birmingham) to learn about the ways in which students are contributing their their own engineering education, and what we can learn from them.Timestamps0.00 Welcome and introduction to episode0.29 Podcast Intro0.46 Experiences with students collaboration from Natalie and Neil2.47 Introduction to Katrijn and Nadica6.30 The history of BEST8.04 The relationship with SEFI10.48 Managing student turnover12.11 Professional development courses14.55 Career support16.20 Symposium on Education19.02 The Education Involvement Department20.58 Stakeholders28.35 Topics of interest within BEST: professional skills, the responsible engineer, assessment and AI39.45 What should educators remove from engineering programmes?43.00 Diversifying membership and the student voice47.19 The benefits of being part of BEST53.02 What's next?56.33 How do students get involved in BEST?59.06 Key Takeaways from Katrijn and Nadica1.01.48 Key takeaways from Natalie and Neil Key Resourceshttps://www.best.eu.org/index.jspJoin us!
