Title and Synopsis of the presentation
报告主题及摘要

Keyshot Title:  Design Engineering
报告题目：设计工程学

This is based on an analysis of the current state of engineering and design teaching, and opportunities identified in a changing technological and industrial context. Alternative options and building blocks for curriculum content are discussed along with evidence for particular pedagogic, research-led, design-led and innovation-led approaches. The result is a curriculum that exploits the interplay between cognitivism, constructivism, humanism and behaviourism learning theories in its implementation.

这次的演讲是基于对工程和设计教学现状的分析，讨论在不断变化的科技及工业环境下发现的机遇。关于教学大纲中选修课和核心内容的设置，将结合特殊教学法、研究引领、设计引领、创新引领等不同教学方法的实践证据一并讨论。讨论的成果将是一份开拓认知主义、建构主义、人文主义及行为主义理论和实践的教学大纲。
