About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in engineering education and the lead instructor for the Global Certificate Course in Engineering Education Program Development. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about this course? GUEST: Sure, this course is designed to help educators create high-quality engineering programs by focusing on curriculum design, instructional strategies, and assessment methods. It's beneficial for faculty, instructors, and administrators in universities and technical colleges worldwide. HOST: That sounds fascinating. What inspired you to develop this course? GUEST: I noticed a need for more comprehensive training in engineering education program development. Many educators have strong technical backgrounds but lack formal training in education theories and practices. This course bridges that gap. HOST: Very insightful. Can you share any current trends or challenges in engineering education? GUEST: Absolutely. There's a growing emphasis on creating engaging learning experiences and integrating innovative technologies. However, doing so while ensuring student success and adhering to global best practices can be challenging. HOST: You've certainly packed a lot into this course. How do you think it will impact the future of engineering education? GUEST: I believe our graduates will be better equipped to design and deliver impactful engineering programs, ultimately benefiting both students and the industry as a whole. HOST: That's inspiring. Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Smith. It's been a pleasure learning about the Global Certificate Course in Engineering Education Program Development. GUEST: My pleasure. Thanks for having me.
