ABOUT MaSEE

The Management System for Engineering Education (MaSEE) project has been designed to address the varying level of knowledge, as identified by industry, that graduates enter the profession with, regarding key management system processes.

 

The MaSEE project promotes problem-based learning and assessment, which integrates peer feedback and experiential learning in context and closely simulates authentic professional practices, thus educating engineers for the future. Stakeholders informing the project and its outcomes include: industry, educators and students.

MaSEE provide a large array of resources to support the learning of engineering processes specially adapted for higher education institution. 

OUR RESOURCES

We also provide a series of case studies to highlight the relevance of engineering processes in supporting safe and robust design and implementation of structures.

Quick

Guides

Quick Guides as one-page overviews for student use, providing key information and considerations for the implementation and use of the associated management system process. 

Implementation Guides 

Implementation Guides providing information for educators about the management system process, its value in industry and how it may be used as a learning and teaching tool. They include implementation suggestions and assessment options. These guides will be further populated as additional examples of use within the curriculum are identified. 

Templates

Templates for student use, and for some modules a choice of templates may be available. These templates have been adapted from or by industry.
