The AAEE will seek to select projects that have identified an educational issue of relevance across the engineering education sector specific to the recommendations of ACED’s ENGINEERING FUTURES 2035: A scoping study (Crosthwaite, 2019), either within an engineering discipline or across disciplines, and designed a programme of activities with the capacity to draw collaborative expertise from other institutions, and create significant impact and influence in realising the desired outcomes as outlined in the scoping study. The ACED scoping study explores the knowledge, skills and attributes of professional engineers required to meet anticipated changes to engineering work in Australia by the year 2035. It explores potential approaches to engineering education that prepares graduates and makes recommendations for further detailed investigation. Up to two (2) projects will be funded to address the outcomes of the ACED scoping study to a maximum of $20,000 per project.
AAEE is also keen to support project(s) that are aligned to Australian Collaborative Education Network Limited (ACEN). ACEN is the professional association for practitioners and researchers from the tertiary education sector, industry, community and government representatives, involved in work integrated learning (WIL) in Australia. ACEN provides strategic leadership for work-integrated learning research, scholarship and practice in Australia, for its members and other stakeholders. Up to one (1) project aligned with the priorities of ACEN will be funded to a maximum of $10,000. Further info is outlined in the grant guideline.
