Engineering/Design: Iterative Design – Balancing Process and Creativity – University Tutorial With Dr Yogesh Jayant Bhalerao From University of East Anglia

In this live interactive Engineering/Design tutorial, we will be joined by Dr Yogesh Jayant Bhalerao, a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering Design in the School of Engineering at UEA, who will explore Iterative Design – Balancing Process and Creativity.

Dr Bhalerao will discuss interactive design, creativity and applications in Engineering, presenting a design problem for students to consider before the live tutorial in which we will collaboratively work through potential solutions proposed by the audience.  The full context/introduction to this live and interactive discussion is provided by the university in a Headliner recorded resource (see below). This recording can be watched as a class activity or independently in preparation for the discussion.

The session aims to deepen students’ understanding of the topic whilst enabling them to access and experience a live online university tutorial.

The Headliner recording is below.

As a live, participative event, this session will not be recorded but access to the Headliner recording will continue to be accessible.

Suitable for: Key Stage 5, and equivalent, students studying or with an interest in studying Engineering/Design and related subjects. Teachers and members of school staff, as always, are welcome too and participants can join as individuals from school/college or home, or as a group from school/college.

Preparation/Pre-Reading: Students are asked to watch the Headliner recording and consider the design challenge posed.

The IT Setup: The event will be run on Bluejeans and participants will be able to join using laptops, tablets, and mobile devices.
