Disruptive education Centre for Advanced Design and Engineering
Training Motivation for a new programme
Design Technology Project Oriented Design Based Learning 3DP within CADET Future for 3DP in Engineering Education
AGEING ACADEMICS STUDENTS
Know more and more about less and less
Get them young, when they still know everything
It’s hard It’s complex The fundamentals are dull The rewards can sometimes be difficult to see There is a difference between perception and
reality
All of this can result in poor motivation for an average student
Internet allows students to learn their own way No need for ‘sage on the stage’ There is still a need for fundamentals
Must establish context Drive students back into the classroom
Need ‘spirit guides’ Need to ‘learn how to fail’
Compromise Communicate
Hello?
3 reasons why they want more from their engineering programme
1. Some are already entrepreneurial in a way Family businesses, etc. Already thinking about what they want from their
education2. Want more hands-on3. Need to understand context
The Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training (CADET)
“Providing more graduates adept at communicating in the common language of design”
• A $55M project in partnership with Deakin and the Australian Government funded through EIF in November 2012
• Aimed at increasing the number of engineers in Australia to meet the significant shortfall.
• CADET will provide a new approach to engineering education and provide a platform for design education with technology rich, highly flexible, design & project based learning environments.
• CADET is unique in the Australasian context and has international significance.
The situation & need for CADET…
• “…the current shortage of 28,000 engineers will more than double in the next 10 years…”
• “Regional Australia 'facing critical shortage of engineers”
• “…the entry level for engineering is actually dropping, so the standard is dropping. That is a concern for the future.”
• “National shortage of women in engineering”
• “No alignment of learning and teaching to internal and external requirements”

The Three Pillars of CADET
*Project Oriented Design based learning (PODBL): Students learn through design activities while driven by a problem/ project.The problem has not been defined yet - the student will therefore be called upon to define the problem. Framing and diagnosing the problem is the most important yet generally overlooked.

Aim to reach outside of the teaching programmes There are very few ‘hardware’ incubators in
Australia Hardware developers need workshop facilities However, this need should extend into an
innovation environment Resident specialists Wide selection of versatile prototyping technologies Investor network, including accelerators and business

• Awareness through various school programs
• Hackathon to filter inventors from other types of users
• Ready inventors through accelerator programs
• Matching inventors to inventors
• Graduated inventors to return and use facilities
• Graduated inventors to return as investors
WHO IS THIS GUY?
• Kia Silverbrook• Australian inventor• 4665 US patents• 9874 International patents• The world’s most prolific inventor
• Does Australia have an entrepreneurial culture?

If you are a student Push to incorporate Design-Centric learning in your
programme If you are an educator
Incorporate more experiential learning into your units
Send your students to Deakin If you are in industry
Collaborate more with institutions to provide more problems
