Engineering community-based learning at the University of Bristol Kate Miller, Centre for Public Engagement

Overview of projects 3 rd year research projects and 4 th year design projects Undergraduates interns scoped potential community placements Contacting and liaising with community partners Co-designing feasible projects Recruiting academic supervisors

Why use interns? Technical knowledge of engineering problems Knowledge of civil engineering undergraduate course Potential to inspire their peers

Outcomes (so far) 11 projects scoped with 8 community partners 9 projects obtained academic supervisors 6 projects (but 7 groups of students) taking place Projects underway...

Initial findings Interns: Valuable experience, working with wide range of partners Inspired them to do projects Students: Chance to do something tangible Enhancing skills through opportunities like stakeholder meetings

Initial findings Supervisors: Need to consider what they get out of it Matching research expertise to project is essential Community partners: Have to bear in mind the time they can devote to projects Initial discussions about future developments

Challenges Assessment of projects (especially as part of wider curriculum) Linking to Department’s plans for undergraduate learning Need to consider value to all partners involved in project

What are the drivers for community based learning projects?
