Welcome

The School of Engineering at Trinity College Dublin is

delighted to welcome you to the CDIO European

Regional Meeting 2017.

Engineers and technologists of today, and increasingly so

as we move forward, face new and challenging

environments and problems. The pace of technological

change, the globalised economy, political dynamics and

limitations in natural resources will interact in complex

and largely unpredictable ways. More than ever before,

engineers and technologists will require both deep technical domain knowledge

and rich ‘transversal’ skills. Graduates will be employed on their abilities in diverse

areas including innovation, communication, multi-discipliniarity, problem solving,

adaptability, learning skills, teamwork and the ability to contextualise their

practice in a social, economic, political, legal and indeed psychological context.

As educators we face this challenge, but also perceive the opportunities.

Changing, evolving and improving our pedagogy will be the ‘new normal’. This will

happen against a backdrop of research intensity, increased levels of partnership

with industry, society and other universities, globalised education and mobility,

and decreasing state involvement in higher education. In these two days you will

hear from a diverse range of inspiring speakers on these and many other topics.

We wish you an inspiring and enjoyable conference and stay in Dublin.

Keynote Speakers & Panellists

Provost Patrick Prendergast – Trinity

College Dublin

Panel Discussion – Educating Technologists

for a Resource Constrained Future

January 12th, 14:00 MacNeill Theatre

Dr. Patrick Prendergast is the Provost & President of Trinity College Dublin, the

University of Dublin. Prior to his appointment as Provost, he was Professor of

Bioengineering where he introduced the teaching of biomechanics into the

engineering curriculum, founded the Masters Programme in Bioengineering, and

published several hundred articles related to implant design and tissue

mechanobiology. During this period he was a Science Foundation Ireland Principal

Investigator and held many industry-funded and EU-funded research grants.

Dr Prendergast holds a BA, BAI, PhD, and ScD degrees, all from Trinity College

Dublin. He is a Member of the Royal Irish Academy (MRIA), a Fellow of the Irish

Academy of Engineering (FIAE) and in 2013 was elected an International Fellow of

the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng) in the UK. In 2016 he was awarded

honorary Fellowship of the Anatomical Society (HonFAS) in recognition of his

contributions to bioengineering and anatomy.

He has served on the board of several companies, and on the board of Tallaght

Hospital, a large academic hospital in Dublin. He was appointed by the European

Commission to the Governing Board of the European Institute of Innovation and

Technology (EIT) in 2012. In 2014 he participated in the Glion Colloquium, an

independent think tank committed to the future of research universities at which he

spoke on Global Research Questions and Institutional Research Strategies.

Dr. Ade Mabogunje – Stanford

University Keynote 1 - Instrumenting the Design Process

and Nucleating Regional Ecosystems to

Accelerate Innovation.





Ade Mabogunje conducts research on the design thinking process with a view to

instrumenting and measuring the process and giving feedback to design thinking

teams on ways to improve their performance. He works in collaboration with

partners in the engineering education, design practice and investment community as

a participant-observer in the practice of building and developing ecosystems that

support accelerated and continuous innovation in products and services.

Prior to this he was the associate director of the Stanford Center for Design Research

(CDR). He was also the lead of the Real-time Venture Design Lab program (ReVeL) in

the school of Humanities and Sciences. His industry experience includes engineering

positions at the French Oil Company Elf (now Total) and research collaboration with

Artificial Intelligence Scientists at NASA Ames. He has publications in the areas of

design theory and methodology, knowledge management, emotions in engineering,

design protocol analysis, and engineering-design education.

In his keynote address, Ade will describe how he has been able to instrument and

measure the design process and to use this knowledge to better organize, teach, and

coach design teams on the dynamics of social, intellectual, physical and financial

capital interactions. Further application of this knowledge to accelerate innovation

will be demonstrated through examples drawn from work done in Silicon Valley in

the US, Abeokuta in Nigeria, and Ahmedabad in India

Prof. Kathryn Jablokow –

Pennsylvania State University

Keynote 2 – The Paradox of the Box:

Rethinking the Metaphor for Design Creativity





Dr. Kathryn Jablokow, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and

Engineering Design is a leading scholar in creativity and problem solving, with a

special focus on engineering creativity. She was recognized as a Fellow of the

American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 2008 for her work in this arena.

She holds BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from The Ohio State

University. Dr. Jablokow has won numerous awards inside and outside Penn State for her

teaching, including the Keck Foundation’s national Engineering Excellence in

Teaching Award. She developed and teaches (online and in the classroom) four

courses that span the progression from the creative individual to problem solving

teams and their leadership, as well as invention and creative design. Dr. Jablokow is

passionate about helping students recognize and leverage their own unique brands

of creativity that stem from who they are, what they know, and what motivates

them to act.

In her keynote address, Kathryn will talk about how in a future with increasingly

limited resources and expanding requirements, there will be a premium on cleverer

and better ways of delivering products and services. Engineers and designers who

can manage the creative process well in order to deliver those products and services

will be in high demand. In the past, we have used the metaphor of a “box” to help us

understand that creative process, but in the light of recent advances in creativity and

design cognition research; this overly simplistic metaphor has fallen short. In this

interactive presentation, we will examine the enabling and limiting features of the

“box” metaphor for design creativity and investigate alternative models that will help

designers manage the creative process more effectively.

Aldert Kamp – TU Delft

Keynote 3 – Engineering in a Rapidly

Changing World





Aldert Kamp is the Director of Education for the highly international Faculty of

Aerospace Engineering of TU Delft since 2007. He is deeply involved in the

rethinking of higher engineering education at university level with a horizon of

2030. More than 20 years of industrial experience in space systems engineering

and almost 15 years of experience in academic teaching and educational

management have given him the insight in the capabilities engineers need in the

future world of work of the 21st century, and how to make this happen in

engineering curricula.

He is a member of the Council of the CDIO Initiative since 2013 and TU Delft

Leader of the Dutch 3TU Centre of Engineering Education (CEE) that facilitates

innovations in higher engineering educational programmes within and outside the

Netherlands.

In his keynote address, Aldert will provide a lens through which the reader can

reflect on the future world of work of the engineer and its potential impact on

engineering education. The presentation will not consider what will be the jobs of

the future but rather will look at the future work skills, proficiencies and

capabilities that will be required across different jobs and work settings. It is

especially about the “why” and the “what” of our education.

Prof. John Domingue – Open

University

Keynote 4 – Experimentation on-the-go,

Learning Analytics and Blockchains: 3

Transformative Technologies for Education


John Domingue is a Professor at and Director of the Knowledge Media Institute at

the Open University in Milton Keynes and a researcher into the Semantic Web,

Linked Data, Services, Blockchain and Education. He started his academic career late

1980s as researcher at the Human Cognition Research Laboratory of the Open

University. In 2008 he was appointed Professor at the Open University in Milton

Keynes. John was the Scientific Director of SOA4All and has worked in dozens of

other research projects. He is chair of the Steering Committee for the European

Semantic Web Conference Series and member of the Future Internet Symposium

Series steering committee. He coordinates the Future Internet Service Offer Working

Group within the Future Internet Assembly, and is on the editorial board of the

Journal of Web Semantics. He is the current president of the Semantic Technology

Institute International (STI2).

In his keynote address, John will cover three technologies which have significant

potential to transform education. Within the FORGE project he has created an

infrastructure and framework for embedding access to large computational

resources within eBooks. The framework, supported by a ‘store’ of openly available

courses and widgets, gives students anytime/anywhere access to world class

experimental facilities.

OU Analyse is a learning analytics platform developed at the Open University which

is able to predict future outcomes of OU students (pass/fail/do not submit) in relation

to assignments and courses with a high degree of accuracy. The system has thus far

been applied to over 70,000 students and has just been released to over 900 of our

tutors.

Blockchains, the technical underpinning for the Bitcoin crypto-currency, provides a

secure peer-to-peer platform for the safe transfer of assets with no intermediary.

‘Smart Contracts’ extend this functionality through the provision of computer code

able to autonomously execute legal and financial transactions. At the Open

University they have been conducting experiments in applying blockchains to

support micro-accreditation (badges) and student ePortfolios.

Engineering at Trinity College Dublin

History

Engineering has a long history in Trinity College, with the School of (Civil)

Engineering founded in 1841 – making it one of the oldest engineering schools in

the English speaking world. Early graduates, in keeping with common practice of

the time graduated with a License in Civil Engineering, with a master’s level

qualification Magister in Arte Ingenaria (MAI) instituted in 1860, and a bachelor’s

degree in 1872 - Baccalaureus in Arte Ingenaria (BAI). These awards are still the

principal awards in the School of Engineering today, the BAI awarded to those

following a 4 year programme and the MAI to those on an integrated 5 year cycle.

Mechanical and Electrical Engineering content was introduced in the early 20th

century with the bachelor’s degree changing from a 3 year to a 4 year qualification

in 1951. From 1970 to 1980 the structure changed to a common first three years

followed by specialisation in Mechanical, Civil or Electrical Engineering in the 4th

and final year. In 1980, the structure changed once more to provide 2 common

years followed by specialisation in one of a number of disciplines. Although the

structure has stayed largely similar since, there have been some notable

developments including the introduction of a direct entry programme in

Engineering with Management (2000), a new specialisation in Bioengineering

(2013) and the offering of an integrated 5 year MAI qualification in 2011.

Engineering at Trinity College Dublin

Current and Future Activities

The School of Engineering at TCD currently has 62 academic staff, 48 research

fellows, 18 adjunct academic staff, 41 technical/support staff, 168 research

students, 68 taught masters students, 135 diploma students and 847

undergraduates (including nearly 100 MAI students) spread over seven different

sites on campus.

With a total annual School budget of around €20M, the research income accounts

for just over €8M. The School is the most successful Engineering School in the

country as is recognised by its QS ranking in the world’s top 100 of Engineering

and Technology Faculties.

A major new development in TCD Engineering is the E3 project. E3 will see the

schools of Engineering, Computer Science and Natural Sciences come together

within new purpose built facilities, providing a hub for Engineering and Technology

activities at Trinity College Dublin. A planned and phased 40% increase in student

and staff numbers will give scale-based efficiencies, while state of the art facilities

(including industry collaboration space) will enhance the quality of our learning

environment and student experience. The inclusion of natural sciences and

computer science and the greater ensuing collaborations will produce engineering

graduates who have sustainability and natural capital enhancement as key themes

woven into their learning, and with extensive experience working in

multidisciplinary teams on challenging multi-faceted problems.
