HEI

This section of the site focuses on the work that has been developed by the HEI partners of the LEP pilot project, who include University College London, London South Bank University and the University of Sussex.

The work has focused on three particular areas, these are:

• How to take an already established curriculum and develop new and innovative ways of delivery to enhance the student experience acknowledging the changing student profile due to widening participation successes
• Developing new degree programmes that maintain the required technical knowledge to deliver competent engineers, whilst expanding to embrace emerging technologies relevant to our changing society 
• Promoting and nurturing links with key employers in the engineering sector and encouraging them to help in the development of new foundation degree programmes

All the work has been externally reviewed and in some cases, research papers have been presented at international conferences and published in peer reviewed journals.
