I’m honoured to have been elected as a director and board member of DEED and have the opportunity to work with global engineering educators. Embedding design into engineering education effectively is an essential part of transforming engineering education to inspire thinking and creativity for new generations of engineers. Working with DEED means exchanging ideas and best practices with US and global universities, employers and professional bodies. The experience of leading design education curriculum development at King’s engineering encourages me to contribute to this role with good preparation.”
