An Enquiry-Based Chemical Engineering Design Project for First Year students
The aim of the project is to create a new Chemical Engineering Design Project that incorporates relevant aspects of today’s process industry with an enquiry-based approach. The objective is to design an open-ended task based on a real industrial problem in which students will use all mechanisms of enquiry to elicit a solution. The main purpose is to change the approach from a fixed and sometimes contrived process design with very restricted alternatives and solutions to a more open-ended problem in which students can explore different routes, make decisions and find different solutions depending upon those decisions. The project will look at real industrial questions and will set an engineering working environment by using role-playing. The work will be carried out in small teams with a team leader and also a chief engineer and a manager. The academics will act as consultants to the teams and a representative from industry will provide students with relevant information about the problem at hand.

Developing personal professionalism and career awareness early in the medical curriculum through Enquiry-Based Learning
A recent report on Medical Professionalism highlights the need to define 'career journeys', embed a commitment to professionalism and foster understanding of inter-professional roles. This project will establish an enquiry led educational framework to promote self awareness and professional development in phase 1 medical students. Using EBL tools we aim to encourage understanding of health professional roles and help students explore their own suitability for a career pathway.

Enhancing Postgraduate Employability through EBL: Academia-Industry Collaboration in Subtitler Training
This project will develop a new EBL component for delivery of subtitler training on the MA in Translation and Interpreting Studies with a view to bridge the academic/professional divide and enhance the employability of postgraduate trainees. The project seeks to encourage a research-based approach to the management of professional performance within a highly client-centred fragmented industry.
