Introduction
• Drivers:– Engineering education reform– Globalisation and mobility– Pathways
• Engineers for the Future: - Addressing the supply and quality of Australian engineering graduates for the 21st century, (King, 2008):– Raise the public perception of engineering (“…including within primary and secondary
schools …”)– Implement best-practice engineering education (“…define curricula more strongly around
engineering problem solving, engineering application and practice, and develop the themes of design...”)
• Two Federally funded projects:– Design Based Curriculum Reform within Engineering Education (Australian Learning
and Teaching Council)– Australian Technology Network (ATN) Engineering in Schools (Collaboration and
Structural Reform)

QSA Senior Engineering Technology Curriculum
• Apply knowledge to unfamiliar and/or complex engineering problems
• Use mathematical concepts and techniques in preparing and interpreting
engineering data
• Investigate and analyse engineering problems, and identify and prioritise
their critical elements
• Propose and validate possible solutions to engineering problems
• Select suitable engineering solutions by drawing conclusions based on the
evidence gathered
• Evaluate proposed solutions in terms of their capacity to solve engineering
problems,
• Meet environmental and societal needs, and comply with appropriate
benchmarks and standards.

Preparatory Context
• Highly controlled in a highly supervised environment
• Limited scope and context of topics, and learning activities
• Outcomes are generally aligned with graduate attribute statements, however the levels of proficiency are somewhat limited in comparison

Conclusions
• Summary– CDIO Syllabus (v 4.2.3) linked into the Australian
context for mobility– Extended CDIO framework recognising preparatory
levels of proficiency (Bloom’s v1)– Curriculum mapping demonstrator
• Looking Forward– Link to Revised CDIO Syllabus– Integrated Curriculum Information System (ICUS)
