Topic: Academic research development and industry engagement

Abstract

There is a growing demand from university researchers to engage with the end-users of their research in order to achieve higher research impact. However, there are several factors that impede the external engagement activities for academics such as lack of time, motivation, proper training and support systems. In this talk, I will cover the importance of external engagement for research development and will share some practical strategies for developing academic research through industry engagement. This is based on my personal experience working with a large number of academic staff helping them in identifying a right industry partner and advising them on how to engage with the industry.

Topic: What motivates Engineering students for Deeper Learning?

Abstract
Student learning is significantly affected by assessment methods, but a concrete relationship has not been established in the context of multidisciplinary engineering education. Students make physiological investment and internalise learning (deep learning) if they see the high value in their learning; they persist despite challenges and take delight in accomplishing their work. As student deep learning is affected by the assessment system, it is important to explore the relationship between assessment systems and factors affecting deep learning. This study identifies the factors that affect the deep learning and examines the effect of different assessment systems on those factors. Strong influence of both summative and formative assessment on learning was established in this study. Engineering educators can facilitate deep learning by adopting both assessments types simultaneously to make the learning process be more effective. Empirically, it investigated the model and the hypotheses developed through a real data from an Australian university (QUT). It would help educators in designing their assessments for better learning outcomes.
