1. Ian Gibson discusses the Centre for Advanced Design and Engineering Training (CADET) at Deakin University, which aims to provide a new approach to engineering education through project oriented, design-based learning. 2. CADET will address issues like the shortage of engineers in Australia and lack of hands-on learning in current programs by developing industry partnerships and highly flexible, technology-rich learning environments. 3. Key aspects of CADET include the PODBL (Project Oriented Design Based Learning) framework, integration of prototyping technologies like 3D printing, and facilities that support innovative, student-centered learning and collaboration with industry.

- 1. Ian Gibson Professor of Industrial Design Director of CADET Deakin University
- 2. 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
- 3. AGEING ACADEMICS STUDENTS Know more and more about less and less Get them young, when they still know everything
- 4. 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
- 5. 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?
- 6. 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 education 2. Want more hands-on 3. Need to understand context
- 7. 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.
- 8. 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”
- 9. High School Engagement Student Centered Education PODBL* Industry Partnership 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.

- 15. CADET FACILITIES • Conventional ‘prac’ labs • Product realisation labs • Project space • Breakout rooms • CAD collaboration suite • Digitally integrated presentation rooms • VR CAVE system
- 16. EQUIPMENT • Projet 660 • Projet 3000 • SLM 125 • Connex 3 • Bioplotter • Approx. 12 entry level 3D printers • Trotec laser cutters • 5 axis machining • Wire cutting
- 17. 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 majors Coffee shop Concept tested/validated through Lean Launchpad exercise
- 18. Get Keep Grow Accelerator Advanced users Casual users Inventors Investors Industry • 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
- 19. Steve Jobs One of the most well- known innovators of the modern generation
- 20. 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?

- 23. Note the number
- 24. 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
- 25. Many ‘classical’ engineering programmes are suffering We need to enthuse students so that they will want to learn CADET has been presented as one way to do this 3DP is core to the work done in CADET We need to take this beyond the classroom
