The 'Crisis and Catalyst' report has just been released, which explores the impact of COVID-19 emergency teaching on the engineering education sector. It addresses two central questions:

  1. What were the experiences of the engineering education community during emergency teaching?
  2. How will this systemic shock impact the direction of travel for the sector beyond emergency teaching?

The study draws on 226 interviews (from across 36 counties) conducted between August 2020 and April 2022 with university leaders, engineering instructors/faculty, educational specialists and engineering students.

The study is supported and co-funded by a consortium of engineering schools and universities: Aalborg University, Denmark; EPFL, Switzerland; MIT, US; NTNU, Norway; Olin College of Engineering, US; PUC, Chile; Royal Academy of Engineering, UK; SUTD, Singapore; Tec de Monterrey, Mexico; UCL, UK; and 4TU Centre for Engineering Education, The Netherlands.

Findings from the Teaching Cultures Survey 2022 are now available on the project website here: www.teachingcultures.com/Findings/

The Teaching Cultures Survey 2022 is the second of three cross-sectional surveys designed to capture and track the culture and status of teaching within universities worldwide. The large majority of universities participating in the survey are engaged in systemic changes to academic career pathways and/or the ways in which achievements in university teaching are rewarded. The survey allows them to explore the impact of these structural changes on the experiences and perspectives of their academic communities and compare progress with peer institutions worldwide. This snap-shot report highlights consolidated findings from the 16 universities across eight countries that participated in the Teaching Cultures Survey 2022.
