CEEDA case study report: Six case studies of the impact of COVID-19 on global practice in engineering education

Abstract

The report forms one element of the CEEDA study, which explores the impact of COVID-19 ‘emergency teaching’ on the engineering education sector. The study was designed around two outputs. The first output is the Crisis and Catalyst report, which explores feedback from across the global engineering education community on the experience of emergency teaching and how it might impact the future trajectory of the sector. The second output is a series of in-depth case studies which explore the institutional response to emergency teaching at six leading universities in engineering education. This report presents these six case studies. Each case study is divided into two parts:

Part A. Best practice activity: a review and profile of an activity that exemplifies best institutional practice in online collaborative learning that was delivered during emergency teaching Part B. Institutional context: review of the institutional response to emergency teaching and how COVID-19 is set to influence the future approach in engineering education.

The case studies are taken from: Iron Range Engineering (US); UCL (UK); MIT (US); Aalborg University (Denmark); SUTD (Singapore; and PUC (Chile). Further information on the study is given at the CEEDA website (https://www.ceeda.org/).
