Welcome
The School of Engineering at Trinity College Dublin is
delighted to welcome you to the CDIO European
Regional Meeting 2017.
Engineers and technologists of today, and increasingly so
as we move forward, face new and challenging
environments and problems. The pace of technological
change, the globalised economy, political dynamics and
limitations in natural resources will interact in complex
and largely unpredictable ways. More than ever before,
engineers and technologists will require both deep technical domain knowledge
and rich ‘transversal’ skills. Graduates will be employed on their abilities in diverse
areas including innovation, communication, multi-discipliniarity, problem solving,
adaptability, learning skills, teamwork and the ability to contextualise their
practice in a social, economic, political, legal and indeed psychological context.
As educators we face this challenge, but also perceive the opportunities.
Changing, evolving and improving our pedagogy will be the ‘new normal’. This will
happen against a backdrop of research intensity, increased levels of partnership
with industry, society and other universities, globalised education and mobility,
and decreasing state involvement in higher education. In these two days you will
hear from a diverse range of inspiring speakers on these and many other topics.
We wish you an inspiring and enjoyable conference and stay in Dublin.

Prof. Kathryn Jablokow –
Pennsylvania State University
Keynote 2 – The Paradox of the Box:
Rethinking the Metaphor for Design Creativity
January 12th, 10:30 MacNeill Theatre
Panel Discussion – Educating Technologists
for a Resource Constrained Future
January 12th, 14:00 MacNeill Theatre
Dr. Kathryn Jablokow, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and
Engineering Design is a leading scholar in creativity and problem solving, with a
special focus on engineering creativity. She was recognized as a Fellow of the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 2008 for her work in this arena.
She holds BS, MS, and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from The Ohio State
University. Dr. Jablokow has won numerous awards inside and outside Penn State for her
teaching, including the Keck Foundation’s national Engineering Excellence in
Teaching Award. She developed and teaches (online and in the classroom) four
courses that span the progression from the creative individual to problem solving
teams and their leadership, as well as invention and creative design. Dr. Jablokow is
passionate about helping students recognize and leverage their own unique brands
of creativity that stem from who they are, what they know, and what motivates
them to act.
In her keynote address, Kathryn will talk about how in a future with increasingly
limited resources and expanding requirements, there will be a premium on cleverer
and better ways of delivering products and services. Engineers and designers who
can manage the creative process well in order to deliver those products and services
will be in high demand. In the past, we have used the metaphor of a “box” to help us
understand that creative process, but in the light of recent advances in creativity and
design cognition research; this overly simplistic metaphor has fallen short. In this
interactive presentation, we will examine the enabling and limiting features of the
“box” metaphor for design creativity and investigate alternative models that will help
designers manage the creative process more effectively.

Aldert Kamp – TU Delft
Keynote 3 – Engineering in a Rapidly
Changing World
January 13th, 09:30 MacNeill Theatre
Panel Discussion – Educating Technologists
for a Resource Constrained Future
January 12th, 14:00 MacNeill Theatre
Aldert Kamp is the Director of Education for the highly international Faculty of
Aerospace Engineering of TU Delft since 2007. He is deeply involved in the
rethinking of higher engineering education at university level with a horizon of
2030. More than 20 years of industrial experience in space systems engineering
and almost 15 years of experience in academic teaching and educational
management have given him the insight in the capabilities engineers need in the
future world of work of the 21st century, and how to make this happen in
engineering curricula.
He is a member of the Council of the CDIO Initiative since 2013 and TU Delft
Leader of the Dutch 3TU Centre of Engineering Education (CEE) that facilitates
innovations in higher engineering educational programmes within and outside the
Netherlands.
In his keynote address, Aldert will provide a lens through which the reader can
reflect on the future world of work of the engineer and its potential impact on
engineering education. The presentation will not consider what will be the jobs of
the future but rather will look at the future work skills, proficiencies and
capabilities that will be required across different jobs and work settings. It is
especially about the “why” and the “what” of our education.

Prof. John Domingue – Open
University
Keynote 4 – Experimentation on-the-go,
Learning Analytics and Blockchains: 3
Transformative Technologies for Education
January 13th, 10:15 MacNeill Theatre
John Domingue is a Professor at and Director of the Knowledge Media Institute at
the Open University in Milton Keynes and a researcher into the Semantic Web,
Linked Data, Services, Blockchain and Education. He started his academic career late
1980s as researcher at the Human Cognition Research Laboratory of the Open
University. In 2008 he was appointed Professor at the Open University in Milton
Keynes. John was the Scientific Director of SOA4All and has worked in dozens of
other research projects. He is chair of the Steering Committee for the European
Semantic Web Conference Series and member of the Future Internet Symposium
Series steering committee. He coordinates the Future Internet Service Offer Working
Group within the Future Internet Assembly, and is on the editorial board of the
Journal of Web Semantics. He is the current president of the Semantic Technology
Institute International (STI2).
In his keynote address, John will cover three technologies which have significant
potential to transform education. Within the FORGE project he has created an
infrastructure and framework for embedding access to large computational
resources within eBooks. The framework, supported by a ‘store’ of openly available
courses and widgets, gives students anytime/anywhere access to world class
experimental facilities.
OU Analyse is a learning analytics platform developed at the Open University which
is able to predict future outcomes of OU students (pass/fail/do not submit) in relation
to assignments and courses with a high degree of accuracy. The system has thus far
been applied to over 70,000 students and has just been released to over 900 of our
tutors.
Blockchains, the technical underpinning for the Bitcoin crypto-currency, provides a
secure peer-to-peer platform for the safe transfer of assets with no intermediary.
‘Smart Contracts’ extend this functionality through the provision of computer code
able to autonomously execute legal and financial transactions. At the Open
University they have been conducting experiments in applying blockchains to
support micro-accreditation (badges) and student ePortfolios.

Engineering at Trinity College Dublin
History
Engineering has a long history in Trinity College, with the School of (Civil)
Engineering founded in 1841 – making it one of the oldest engineering schools in
the English speaking world. Early graduates, in keeping with common practice of
the time graduated with a License in Civil Engineering, with a master’s level
qualification Magister in Arte Ingenaria (MAI) instituted in 1860, and a bachelor’s
degree in 1872 - Baccalaureus in Arte Ingenaria (BAI). These awards are still the
principal awards in the School of Engineering today, the BAI awarded to those
following a 4 year programme and the MAI to those on an integrated 5 year cycle.
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering content was introduced in the early 20th
century with the bachelor’s degree changing from a 3 year to a 4 year qualification
in 1951. From 1970 to 1980 the structure changed to a common first three years
followed by specialisation in Mechanical, Civil or Electrical Engineering in the 4th
and final year. In 1980, the structure changed once more to provide 2 common
years followed by specialisation in one of a number of disciplines. Although the
structure has stayed largely similar since, there have been some notable
developments including the introduction of a direct entry programme in
Engineering with Management (2000), a new specialisation in Bioengineering
(2013) and the offering of an integrated 5 year MAI qualification in 2011.
Engineering at Trinity College Dublin
Current and Future Activities
The School of Engineering at TCD currently has 62 academic staff, 48 research
fellows, 18 adjunct academic staff, 41 technical/support staff, 168 research
students, 68 taught masters students, 135 diploma students and 847
undergraduates (including nearly 100 MAI students) spread over seven different
sites on campus.
With a total annual School budget of around €20M, the research income accounts
for just over €8M. The School is the most successful Engineering School in the
country as is recognised by its QS ranking in the world’s top 100 of Engineering
and Technology Faculties.
A major new development in TCD Engineering is the E3 project. E3 will see the
schools of Engineering, Computer Science and Natural Sciences come together
within new purpose built facilities, providing a hub for Engineering and Technology
activities at Trinity College Dublin. A planned and phased 40% increase in student
and staff numbers will give scale-based efficiencies, while state of the art facilities
(including industry collaboration space) will enhance the quality of our learning
environment and student experience. The inclusion of natural sciences and
computer science and the greater ensuing collaborations will produce engineering
graduates who have sustainability and natural capital enhancement as key themes
woven into their learning, and with extensive experience working in
multidisciplinary teams on challenging multi-faceted problems.
