Abstract
UCL East, the new campus of the University College London in East London will be opened in 2023. This is the single biggest expansion of the University since its foundation in 1826. With the aim to integrate research and education, theory, and practice – with cross-disciplinarity, innovation and public engagement, a need has emerged to build transformative programmes that will accommodate these objectives. This paper outlines the development of a Master’s-level (MSc) programme in Future Manufacturing and Nanoscale Engineering. The programme is highly experiential; with a focus on both “learning by doing”, and significant laboratory components (physical or computational) in all modules. A systematic process of programme design showed the need for a PBL-centred teaching and learning. The curriculum structure was designed to incorporate a “hub” of hands-on, open-ended activities in the form of manufacturing challenges. This practice may prove useful for the development of similar technical programmes, where the incorporation of PBL activities may be challenging due to the availability of specialist technology.
