Introductory Speech - Never Waste a Good Crisis

Abstract

This introductory speech reflects on the disruption of higher engineering education by Covid-19.  It addresses reflections on personal experiences of the CDIO Co-directors at their own university in the Netherlands and Singapore about the COVID situation, and how it has made them rethink the way we teach and assess our students in engineering education.

It is our goal that, right at the beginning of the conference, this talk piques the interest of the participants, to use the sessions that follow for sharing and reflecting on the impact of the Covid-19 virus. Let us use the CDIO community to prepare for the changes to come post-COVID-19, as a critical part of response and recovery, in our education, and in our CDIO activities.

 

The session is lead by: 

Aldert Kamp and Helene Leong, the CDIO Co-directors

 

When? Monday the 8th of June at 1.00 pm (UTC+2)
