Abstract

This paper describes a unique initiative towards addressing the engineering skills shortage presently being experienced in Australia that has significance in the global engineering education community since it provides a near radical approach to student centred learning. The Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training (CADET) at Deakin University Geelong Waurn Ponds is a teaching and learning facility providing student-centred learning based broadly around a design-based learning pedagogy.
