Using EBL to improve the teaching of science, technology and innovation policy in a business school context
The proposal aims to explore the use of EBL to improve the quality of the teaching of science, technology and innovation policy studies in MBS (and thus to improve the learning outcomes and employability of students taking those courses) by building upon our strong tradition of multi-disciplinary, research-led teaching and by consolidating existing ad-hoc practice of EBL into a more systematic use of multiple teaching methods to improve recruitment and retention onto STI policy course units and pathways. The outcome will be to increase the uptake of EBL in our teaching thereby improving the quality of teaching provision. Staff and student evaluation of course units and the pathway/programme will indicate the extent to which we succeed, as will the extent to which we are able to maintain/increase student numbers and at the same time improve student learning.

Introducing EBL to second year undergraduate module Organisations, Management and Technology
By applying a robust EBL method and assessment to 2nd year undergraduate Organisations, Management and Technology, students will learn to apply their knowledge of innovation studies to investigate specific issues. In addition to exercising the students' application of their knowledge, the EBL method and assessment will contribute to their wider intellectual and transferable skills. For example, self-organisation, team work, delegation, presentation skills.

Critical Project Development Skills in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine
The Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM) provides service teaching to several hundred students from disciplinary backgrounds across the humanities and the social, physical and life sciences. By adopting an EBL approach to the delivery of its modules, the centre hopes to equip the students with the necessary skills essential for historical project work as well as other transferable skills such as independent learning and critical thinking.

Critical Project Development Skills in the History of Science, Technology and Medicine
We have developed a short course using an enquiry-based approach to orient final-year students, some of whom have little or no prior experience, in techniques of archival research, critical source investigation, and the management of an extended writing project in the history of science, technology and medicine.
